Description:

Manufactured in Saint Etienne for Century Arms as a semi-automatic version of the standard French infantry rifle from 1978 to 2016. Built as a bullpup design and making use of composite and alloy construction, the FAMAS (Fusil d'Assaut de la Manufacture d'Armes de Saint Etienne, Assault Rifle made by MAS) was one of the most distinctive infantry rifles of the Cold War. A limited number were manufactured in semi-automatic configuration for the American market in the 1980s, though with limited success. Features adjustable blade front and peep rear sights with flip-up night sight, bird cage flash hider, integral carry handle and bipod legs, reversible cheek piece and a rubberized buttplate. Includes green web soft case, three extra magazines (note: the FAMAS uses a proprietary magazine and is not STANAG compatible), and green web sling.

Rating Definition:

Very good, with 85% plus of original parkerized finish retained, with scattered edge wear, handling marks, and light spotting on the flash hider. The polymer and composite body is also very good, with minor handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
