That there is junk and you should send it to me for proper disposal

Looks to be an older real FN, type 3 receiver (less desirable), factory 21" barrel Para rifle.

Trying to find the model number descriptions for the FN commercial rifles to tell you what model number it is.  Can't begin to tell you what current value would be but the older FNs have collector value and tend to go high.

Actually you should open that up and look at the inside.  Do you know anything of the history of it?  Commercial rifles were marked "308 Match"... marked FAL 7.62 and with no importer marking makes me a little suspicious.  The early G series and the like had Type 1 receivers.

For example here's a 50.61 on gunbroker:  http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=169628119

I can't get any of the info pages on FalFiles to open for reference info

The folding charging handle make me think it's 50.64 not worth much cause of the Belgian manufacture and all but I could probably give you a couple of hundred for it.

The forend looks like the Century Arms made ones. I have a set of them and they look just like that. I think the lower receiver might be british L1A1 just not sure. Great looking rifle.

I'm going to take a bizarre wild ass guess here:

FN replacement receiver or 50.00 barreled action, Belgian Flah suppressor, Type III Cast Argentine Paratrooper lower with DSA folding stock assembly and DSA selector.  If that is all you have it's worth waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more parted out than assembled.  

We would need much more in the way of pix to come to a real value.  As is, $1,800-$2,000 on a really good day.  If it's all FN it's worth substantially more $3,000-$3,500.  I'm guessing someone ruined an awesome original 50.00 by converting it into a 50.61.
