Springfield Armory/Imbel FAL Selective Fire Battle Rifle, Class III/NFA Fully Transferable Machine Gun

Manufactured using a metric pattern Imbel receiver and other (chiefly Israeli) components, this Springfield Armory SAR-48 is a full function FAL rifle in the pattern of an Israeli squad automatic weapon. Used as a counterpart to the "Romat" FAL variant adopted by Israel in the 1950s, and known as the "Makleon", the "FALO" variant FAL served as the chief squad automatic weapon of the Israeli Defense Force during the Suez Crisis, Six-Day War, War of Attrition, and the Yom Kippur War, eventually being phased out in favor of the Galil and M16 variants. Adjustable post front and tangent peep rear sights, with a long birdcage flash hider and folding bipod on the muzzle, adjustable gas system, multi-layered ventilated metal and grooved wood handguard, smooth plastic pistol grip, and fixed hardwood buttstock with shoulder rest. The receiver has the Imbel marking on the underside and the Springfield markings on the sides, and the trigger housing has Israeli markings on the selector positions, right handed selector switch, and internals configured for full/safe/semi operation. The bolt and bolt carrier are unmarked, with the latter factory configured to engage the auto sear. With a green canvas sling, a metal parts case, spare stock, spare barrel, and other components.

ConditionVery fine, with 97% plus of the factory matte gray phosphate finish, showing mild handling marks overall, spotting on the flash hider, and edge wear. A small crack is visible on the underside of the receiver, near the sear pocket. The furniture is very good, with some light scratches. An installed recoil buffer interferes with disassembly, otherwise mechanically fine. 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.
