Description:

Manufactured in Belgium and imported in the early 60s, the "G Series" FAL rifles had a complicated relationship with the BATFE. Originally cleared for import as semi-automatic rifles, further review of the design led the ATF to conclude that the item was too easy to convert to full-auto; the G-Series FALs were essentially the same firearm as FN's military contract battle rifles, with only some minor part swapping dividing the two. The rifles that had already cleared customs were given a pass, resulting in a limited number of "original" FN FALs available on the American market. This rifle's serial number falls within a range (G848-G1017) noted as Curio & Relic by the ATF. Post front and adjustable peep rear sights, long flash hider/bayonet lug, and an adjustable gas port with grenade setting. The upper receiver bears the one line Herstal address and "F.A.L. cal. .7.62". Matching serial numbers are present on the upper and lower receivers, bolt, and bolt carrier. Original style "S/R/A" markings are present on the trigger group, with a proper two-position selector switch. The dust cover has been replaced with a B-Square aluminum cover. Includes grenade launching muzzle device with meter marked distances, a "Dr. Wohler" marked 2x17mm scope, and canvas sling. Fitted with a ventilated triangular forearm, plastic pistol grip, and a wood buttstock with steel buttplate.

Rating Definition:

Very fine overall, retaining 90% original blue, mild handling evidence, some wear on the working surfaces, some light marks in the wood, and scuff at the toe. Plum/brown patina forming on the lower receiver with a drag line between the fire/safe positions. There is a slight gap at the front of the replacement dust cover. The scope optics are sharp. Mechanically excellent.
