Vintage Imbel G1 FAL Sporter in 7.62 NATO / .308 Winchester w/ Sling
** Superb Condition FAL Rifle ** SOLD
Description: The German G1 FN FAL is well known for being one of the best military rifle designs of the time based off of the FN FAL rifle. The West German Army or Bundeswehr placed an order in 1956 for 100,000 of these rifles which went into service immediately. The Gewehr 1 was distinguishable from other FAL rifles by the horizontally grooved metal handguard that had provisions for the integral folding bipod, and the unique detachable flash hider. Otherwise the G1 had all of the same proven features and action of the Belgian FN FAL. The G1 served the West German Army well into the 1960's, being gradually replaced starting in 1959 by the HK G3 rifle. This particular example was constructed with an Imbel receiver and an original G1 parts kit. It is in excellent condition overall with handsome original finish on all of the metal parts, showing only some light wear and handling marks. As you can see from the pictures, there are no eyesores and the rifle has a very clean look to it. The bore in this G1 FAL is minty and bright with sharp rifling. There is no visible erosion, pitting, or imperfections whatsoever. The G1 stock set and forearm are in great shape overall, with only light handling marks on the pistol grip and buttstock and no cracks, chips, repairs, or major wear/damage. The parkerized/phosphate finish on the forearm and bipod is beautiful and extremely clean. The detachable flash hider is in excellent condition inside and out, and secures nicely to the barrel as it was designed to. All of the controls on this FAL are in perfect working order, and the action seems to be smooth and precise. We have no doubt that this rifle will fire reliably and accurately, just as it was designed to. This Imbel G1 comes with one original 20-round military contract magazine and an original West German Army leather sling. If you have been looking for one of these cool West German battle rifles for your collection here is your chance to get a great one, built on one of the most sought-after receivers by those "in the know". SOLD Manufacturer: Imbel Model: G1 FAL Semi-Auto Sporter (Gewehr 1) Serial Number: 134327 Caliber Info: 7.62 NATO / .308 Winchester Bore: Minty Condition: Excellent Extras: Original German Military G1 Sling |
