Built by Fabrique Nationale Herstal (FNH) in Belgium, this pre-ban, factory-produced rifle is a true collector’s piece, distinguished by its folding alloy stock, 18-inch barrel, and short gas system—optimized for airborne and compact operations. Chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO (.308 Win), this rifle delivers legendary battle-proven reliability, durability, and accuracy, making it one of the most desirable semi-automatic FAL variants ever imported into the U.S. before the 1989 import ban. The Gun South Inc. and HOWCO markings indicate early and limited importation before restrictions, adding to this rifle’s desirability among FAL enthusiasts, collectors, and military historians. Retaining its original flash hider, folding charging handle, and factory-stepped barrel, this 50.63 Paratrooper remains in its authentic pre-ban configuration. Whether you're an FAL collector, historical firearms enthusiast, or someone seeking one of the finest examples of the legendary "Right Arm of the Free World," this rifle stands as a testament to Belgian engineering and Cold War-era firepower. It is estimated that approximately 1375 Model 50.63 were actually imported in the Serial Number range of S1595840 - S1597214. *CONSIGNMENT* SPECIFICATIONS MAKE: FNH (Fabrique Nationale Herstal) MODEL: FAL CALIBER: 7.62MM (.308) OVERALL LENGTH: 39 1/2 Inches BARREL LENGTH: 19 Inches WEIGHT: 11 lb 2 oz SERIAL NUMBER: S1596284 FINISH: Black/Blue INCLUDED: Brownells SA-58 Paratrooper Scope Mount Extra Top Cover And Scope Mount Factory Bi-Pod G3 Type GreenSling 4 Pack New In Paper Israeli 20 Round Magazines 5 Israeli 20 Round Magazines 10 Belgian 20 Round Magazines FN FAL Do Everything Manual Magazine Loader Additional Information: The FAL Model 50.63 was designed specifically for paratrooper and airborne forces, offering a more compact profile while maintaining the FAL’s legendary performance.

Imported in limited numbers before the 1989 import ban, Gun South Inc. and HOWCO-imported FAL rifles are among the rarest and most collectible civilian-market FALs. These rifles maintain factory original parts and finishes, making them some of the most desirable pre-ban FALs on the market today. By purchasing you consent to the Terms of Service Price: $9,995.95
