Item Details
From September 5, 1959 to January 10, 1963, the Browning Arms Company, St Louis, Missouri, imported 1,836 FAL rifles in caliber 7.62mm from Fabrique Nationale, Herstal, Belgium ("G" serial number prefix). Subsequent to January 10, 1963, the Bureau classified this rifle as a machine gun. However it was determined that the 1,863 rifles already imported by Browning would be exempt from the provisions of the National Firearms Act. This Gun is one of the original 1,836 that is classified as a machine gun but is exempt from provisions. The U.S. imported "G series" FAL is by far the the most desirable for collectors, because out of the original 1,836 that were exported, much less are known to still exist. Shortly after importation began from Belgium, it was determined that the relief cut in the receiver allowed these guns to be too easily restored to full auto function & the import rules for future imports were changed. The number of available examples today is very low because an unknown number of them were converted to & registered as machine guns... The FAL is a battle rifle designed by Belgian small arms designer Dieudonne Saive and manufactured by FN Herstal from 1953-1988. During the Cold War the FAL was adopted by many countries of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and because of its prevalence and widespread usage it received the title "The Right Arm Of The Free World". The FAL operates by means of a gas-operated action very similar to that of the Russian SVT-40. The gas system is driven by a short-stroke, spring-loaded piston housed above the barrel, and the locking mechanism is what is known as a tilting breechblock. To lock, it drops down into a solid shoulder of metal in the heavy receiver much like the bolts of the Russian SKS carbine and French MAS-49 series of semi-automatic rifles. The gas system is fitted with a gas regulator behind the front sight base, allowing adjustment of the gas system in response to environmental conditions. This original G-Series FAL semi-automatic rifle was made by FN in circa 1959 and features a 20.5" tapered barrel, walnut stock with oiled finish, vented handguard, carry handle, aperture rear peep sight, front post front sight with ears and green canvas sling. This one-owner gun is in nice condition, has a sharp bore and will be in perfect working order. Marion J. Youngs Estate
