Description:

Built around a receiver manufactured by Imbel and imported by Springfield Armory of Geneseo, this semi-automatic rifle has been built up as a selective fire short barreled FAL by Pearl Manufacturing of New Mexico. Something of a specialist tool, short barreled 7.62mm/308 rifles provide heavy firepower in a compact package, at the cost of heavy recoil and a daunting muzzle blast. Post front and tangent peep rear sights, with a vented flash hider on the short barrel, adjustable gas system, smooth forearm and pistol grip, and a plastic buttstock with a skeletonized cutout and an added D-ring for sling mounting. The receiver has the Imbel marking on the underside, with the model and caliber on the left, Springfield and Pearl markings on the right, a metric-pattern magazine well, and internal alterations to accommodate the safety sear. The trigger housing has Israeli selector markings and an extended right handed switch, with functional full, safe, and semi-automatic positions (in that order). The bolt assembly is unnumbered, with a full auto pattern bolt carrier.

Rating Definition:

Very fine as upgraded to full auto, with 85% of the factory quality matte black finish, showing some handling marks, edge wear and light scratches. The furniture is in equal condition. Mechanically excellent. NOTE: This weapon is a National Firearms Act (NFA), fully transferable Class 3, which is registered with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, (BATFE) under the provisions of 18 U.S.C. Chapter 44 and 27 CFR part 479.
