I don't know much about its history as it is from a deceased estate but it's a genuine FN, from between Nov 1971 to 1973. Suspect it is an Austrian FN as it has the Austrian coat of arms stamped into some components and appears to have a StG 58 stock.

The aftermarket upper receiver is wearing a ZOS 10-40x50 scope with illuminated reticle, Tapco pistol grip. Not sure what the story is with the barrel - initially thought it was a Para (50.63) but they have different receivers to the fixed stock versions.

Only the lower,bolt carrier and dust cover is different for a para.

If you want to make yours a para-I have the said bits-would take about 30 seconds to swap over

Following on from this, I've received (finally) an official reply from FN Herstal and it reads:

Dear Sir

It is a standard type.
Yout FAL was manufactured in 1962.

Prior to that I've also worked out that the crests are German, not Austrian (thanks @Tommy) meaning it served as a G1 in the Bundesgrenzshutz (West German Border Guards). The barrel was cut down by previous owner.

Oldest firearm I own!

Just my Savage .308 in a McMillan stock, Sightron scope. I stole the suppressor from @Nibblet and had it fitted today. He's had my reloading gear 18+ months so I think it's fine. There's something I love about this rifle, never going to sell it.

Nice one @Ryan.

Def need to do a .308 semi auto range day.

Keep an eye out, I recently sold 10 cases to a party that plans to brake them up and sell as battle packs

Not new, but a lot of the parts are. My beloved M2, with Briley extended safety, bolt handle, tube extension, Kicks high flyer ported choke, Da-Mar saddle Weaver rail, and a Burris fastfire 3.
