Re: FN FAL PRON
Reviving this thread as there were recent posts from members discussing FN FALs or R1s.
My folding stock FAL purchased from Classic Arms. Built on a 300000 serial number range R1 upper receiver and R1 barrel cut down to 18", with FN Belgium para lower, folding stock, para carrier, bolt, handguards and pistol grip. I am not sure if the Classic Arms gunsmiths did the conversion, or if they received it as built. The rifle is similar in build to the SAP armourer conversions done for Koevoet, Flying Squad and Special Task Force.
Posing with Rhodesian camouflage, however based on the photographic record, the Rhodesian Army had very few folding stock/Para FALs - there were a few found as war-booty on cross-border raids.

My Lyttelton Engineering Works R1 (third configuration - first series) 200000 serial number range with matching numbers except for the barrel. In storage at Classic Arms waiting for me to license it.
