Gunguy4545 Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 Is the serial number on the lower blacked out or not there? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunguy4545 Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 G series have full serial number on bottom of reciever neck AND the last 4 on the lower unless it a lightweight model then it would be on the grip. Thats is my experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flgunguy Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 All G series FALs I have ever seen have the serial number also on the lower or on the grip in the case of lightweight models. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUNBUGS Posted April 21 Report Share Posted April 21 (edited) This is one I've had since about '85. Photos attached. I'd say the one offered for sale is original finish, but has seen poor storage. The lower on mine is serial number matching to the upper, as the photo shows. The buttstock cup and handguard ring on the offered gun are both pretty rusted/pitted, and the buttstock is stained from the rust bleeding into the wood. Strange he doesn't mention that in his for sale post. If you would like more photos of mine for comparison, shoot me a PM.

Gunguy4545 Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 Also for informational purposes, G series FALs also were marked .308 on reciever. The information above is incorrect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUNBUGS Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 G series FAL's are marked 7.62. Not 308. Later "match" FAL's were marked 308. Both the offered for sale gun and my G series are correctly marked 7.62. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GUNBUGS Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 Serial number G1809, which I had back in '09, was also marked 7.62. Please show photos of a "308" marked G series FAL. Inquiring minds want to know....The 2 photos I posted are of the gun I currently possess, Note the dates on the photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
55NomadontheBay Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 @GUNBUGS, I have the consecutive numbered twin to yours, G1005. What are the odds? They were imported in a group of 170 in March of 1961. Good luck with your sale @Anothergunnut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
