Quoted: Hello everyone, I purchased a new to me FAL rifle last night and was wondering if anyone could tell me anything about it. it has the following markings: FMAP "DM" Rosario Industria Argentina {all on the right side of the upper receiver} F.S.L. Cal 7.62x51 mm {L.S.R. 308 WIN} Left side of upper receiver Lower Marked as follows: Safety selector marked with an S and an R UE 65 A131712 What do I have, is it an import rifle? I don't know much about FAL rifles, any help would be appreciated. Thank you You'd have to post some pics to be sure, but it's most likely a Franken-FAL built on an imported FMAP receiver and a demil parts kit. I've got one with the exact same markings and close to the same serial, and it's not an original. |

YEAH we are gonna need pics.
Sounds like an L1A1 inch pattern lower. Could be one of the old (pre 94 ban) Century built L1A1s using Brit L1A1 kit on metric Argentine receiver. You might have a nice little gem there. But pics !! |

No importer markings on receiver or barrel? Look inside the right side of the mag well for a tiny stamp "SAC, LATTA, SC" (IIRC). If it's one of these they were imported during the beginning of the '89 import ban mess. The upper and lower halves were seperated to be sold through different outlets.
Your lower seems to be British. If it has the tall Brit rear sight and a metric frontit may be impossible to zero. |

For sure that lower is Inch Pattern English and Enfield I think.
We really need to see a pic. OP, pony up for a membership and post a pic from your phone. You either have a Franken-FAL or one of the somewhat valuable pre-ban L1A1s on the Argie receiver. We'd love to help you sort her out. |
