FN FAL Paratrooper 7.62x51mm Transferable Machine Gun by Arizona Response Systems
Status: SOLD
This Chester County Armory listing is for a FN FAL 7.62x51mm NATO fully transferable machine gun that has been set up as a Belgium Paratrooper model by the renowned FAL gunsmiths at Arizona Response Systems.
Originally manufactured in Belgium by Fabrique Nationale as semi-automatic .308 Match rifle, this model was imported into the US by Steyr Arms in Secaucus, NJ (the original US importer of arms produced by FN). From there, it was converted to a Class 3 machine select-fire gun by Qualified Manufacturing and setup as a full-size FAL 50.00 model. Recently, it has been further updated and customized by the amazing FAL Class 3 Gunsmiths at Arizona Response Systems to be a Belgium Paratrooper model.
This gorgeous transferable machine gun now features a 18″ heavy barrel with a recoil-mitigating muzzle break/flash hider installed, along with a corresponding right-side folding original Belgium stock. Other improvements include a a DS Arms Extreme Duty picatinny scope mount system, over-sized selector switch handle, Belgium style fiberglass forearm, and crosshair style front sight post. Purchase of transferable machine gun will include three total magazines (metric patterned – one 20rd magazine, one 30rd magazine, and one 50rd X-Products drum magazine). It will also include a last round bolt hold open button for use with the drum magazine, if desired.
This transferable three position machine gun is in excellent mechanical condition and runs flawlessly with standard SAAMI spec 7.62x51mm NATO ammunition. Mechanically, the bolt and bolt face are clean with only limited wear markings. The fire control internals are in very good condition with only minor markings noted. The rifle bore is bright and shiny with crisp, clean rifling.
Cosmetically, the exterior finish on this model is in very good overall condition, with minor finish wear and handling marks observed, most notably there is some minor finish wear at the ejection port and the metal-to-metal contact points of the selector switch.
This transferable machine gun is currently on a Form 3 for easy transfer. The current NFA Form 3 lists “QUALIFIED MANUFACTURING INC.” as the manufacturer and “50.00” as the model.
