Springfield didnt make anything other than the import permits.
Springfield contracted with Imbel in Brazil to make the guns for them. The are forged Imbel receivers made in the Imbel factory will all Imbel parts. The 48 is the preban version and the 4800 is the neutered thumbhole stock version. I think they came into the country until the mid 90s when imports were finally cut off. |

Are they parts kits guns with their own receivers or did they make everything themselves? Pre-89 100% Imbel manufactured rifle. |

If it's in good shape that's a great price. I've got one and it's the ONLY gun that will never be for sale or trade.
I even had the first rifle the younger McMillan made in highschool....and traded it. (I'm an idiot) |

I have one along with an HB Israeli version. Neither are going anywhere.
They also had a version in 556 that took AR mags. I thought he was asking too much. Heavy but a neat variation. |

Yea, I screwed up and sold a SAR 48 Para, of all the guns I sold, that is the one I regretted the monument the cash was handed to me. I really, really wanted a SCAR17, now I have neither. I have a friend who has a SAR 4800, with almost everything to unnueter it. My question is, is the barrel threaded? I have not seen it in quite a while but we were talking a while back and he said he’d sell it to me for $1200.00, anyway I sort of remember it had some funky blocked out contraption on the barrel instead of the flash hider, it also seemed like it was pinned and welded. Is that correct and would it be as simple as grinding the weld, pulling the pin and unscrewing it? Is it worth it? I mean is $1200.00 a fair deal? Is it all Imbel like the 48 series?

$1200-1400 is probably fair market value. But it’s probably the cheapest full factory FAL you will find.

I paid $1600 out the door for mine late last summer.
It was in almost unfired condition but without the box and misc items. Virtually no wear anywhere inside or out. I do shoot her but not very often. It's pretty much the Queen of my collection of semi autos and a monument to my past addiction to FALs. The pic I posted somewhere above does not do my SAR-48 justice, so shiny and pretty. I'll have to try and get a better pic. |

Recently sold a debanned 4800 for 1450.00 but it was in almost new condition. My 4800 had the 'barrel weight' which was just a solid metal sort of A2 flashider looking thing. It had a sideways pin welded on both sides at 6 o'clock at the rear. Just ground most of it away and screwing it off (LH thread) popped the rest out, all that was left was a notch in the barrel behind the threads, new combo device covered it up. I have read some are just pressed, there was no way to tell so I took a chance and started grinding and looking for the pin. If it was pressed I would have split it off and had the barrel threaded. I assume the 4800s are still imbel built, but I dont know for sure. All I know is that butthole stock and fake flash hider are ugly :) Quote HistoryQuoted:

That is correct. I had one that had the 00 stamped later. The barrel was threaded and it came with the acurising kit, which was a stock and grip. Great rifle, hated to sell it

There's a SAR 48 on FAL Files going for $2k right now...
Sounds a little high, I think if it were closer to $1800 i'd grab it, mainly since i'm in the market for a FAL, and the only other option is a questionable quality DSA... |

Friend has one that I've shot numerous times. Always swore if one came up at a great price I would buy it.
That said I own a DSA SBR that I love too. I think the SAR is just a different style that I always wanted but performs almost the same, so it's never been a high priority. |
