Developed in the 1970s as a potential competitor against the U.S. M16/AR-15 rifle, the FNC was adopted by a number of armed forces, including the Belgians, as well as being licensed for production in Sweden and Indonesia. Post front and two-leaf peep rear sights, with a flip-up grenade sight, vented and ribbed forearm, smooth pistol grip, and a side folding buttstock. The selector is marked for "S" (safe), "1" (semi-automatic), "3" (3-round burst, functional) and "A" (full automatic). A spring loaded alloy scope rail is included, which installs between a front hook and the rear sight assembly (scope not included).

Excellent, with 95% of the original matte black finish, showing some minor spotting on the grenade sight hardware, mild edge wear and light handling marks. The furniture shows mild scratching and scuffing, and new notches have been added to the scope rail. Mechanically excellent.
