The SAR48 is probably the best FAL ever built.
Fit and finish is so good.

Close second goes to a real FN and Argentine built FALs.

See if yours has the slightly heavier target barrel.
There should be a small T stamped under the handguards near the breech end of the barrel.
Mine has it and it is noticeably heavier than my other standard barrel FAL.

One of the magazine writers in the 80s went back and forth on that exact same question, 308 Galil or Para FAL. He extolled the virtues of both and ended up doing some kind of showdown comparison test, which IIRC ended up with him favoring the Galil.

Please enjoy your SAR-48 with it's fixed stock the way God intended.
Mine is 110% reliable even with sketchy mags that one of my other FALs won't run.

Fixed stock guns are so much more reliable.

I most likely will not change it, I had a para FAL years ago and the folding mechanism would hit right on top of my wrist it was rather uncomfortable to fire ended up putting a SAW grip on it which opinion ruined the aesthetics of the rifle .

I would too. I don't really like the way the solid stocks look on the FAL rifles. They slope down too much. I'm a big fan of the galil type folders, though. That's why I bought an Arsenal SAM7SF. Solid folders.

Were you able to see if yours has the "T" marked heavier target barrel?

I'm curious to see if all the SAR48s had that or just a few.
We have two SAR48s in the family and both have that barrel.

Mine is just like yours, the other one is a rare 21" barrel para.
Apparently only a handful of the 21" paras were imported we are told.
Most SAR48 paras had the approximately 18" barrel.

I'll see if I can get a pic of my barrel so you can compare.

I think the "T" is marked on or near the "flats" of the barrel under that sheet metal handguard ring.
The ring just slides forward if you want to look there.

You got a deal. I haven't seen one for sale for over 10 years and they used to be fairly common in the late 90s early 2000s to see them around.

Good find.  Would have bought it all as well.
