$3k seems pretty low/reasonable really, even being not NIB even though it has the box.
I sold my Steyr Secundus civvie model a few years ago for like $3.5k, thought they seem to be going up, up , up.  
But maybe the mags were the better dollar for dollar investment, they have 10x in the last 20 years.

If anybody reading here wants an FAL and your pockets are deep enough this is the best FAL you will ever get a chance to own.

Fit and finish on these is superior to an actual FN.
These standard barrel SAR48's are 100% made by Imbel who
is a licensed OEM builder of FALs.

Some of these have the slightly heavier T marked barrel and are know to be pretty accurate
for an FAL. It was more accurate than an FN when tested by American Rifleman Magazine back in the 80's.

I was lucky to be able to rescue an SAR48 from a local pawn shop and it was in unfired condition.

If I did not have 2 of them I would be all over it, agree better than FN, imho, matching receiver, forged vs cast, chrome lined barrel,   Much better value, FN will always be FN but for $2k less SAR 48 for the win.  Great price too.
