Manufactured in Belgium, this rifle is part of a limited importation run performed by Browning Arms between 1959 and 1963. Originally approved by the ATF for importation only a limited number made it into the country before they reversed their decision, determining that the imported commercial FALs were too close to FN's selective-fire capable military contract FALs in configuration. Further import was cut off, and the ones already through customs were given a pass and added to the ATF C&R List (see page 23). As a result of the ATF's 'yes but no' approach to the G-Series, these few rifles are virtually the only complete original Belgian FALs on the American market. Standard military sights, with a long flash hider, bayonet lug and adjustable gas port. The left side of the upper receiver is marked "F.A.L. cal. 7.62" and the right side bearing the one-line Fabrique Nationale address. The lower receiver has the "S/R/A" selector markings with a pin inserted to lock out the "A" spot. Smooth teardrop-shaped triangular forearm, with a smooth plastic grip and a walnut stock with the standard stamped sheet steel buttplate. With two extra magazines.

Excellent overall. 99% original matte black finish remains with some light handling marks and light scuffs on the grip. The stock and handguard set are also excellent. Mechanically excellent.
