Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo.

If its in decent condition, quite a bit. Unmolested G-Series FALs are becoming harder to find because they're not being imported anymore and we've all just about run out of kits and spare parts to build them on. I'd say the $2000-$3000 range is a fair price for an original G-Series in good condition.

Thanks Guy's

Seems like they have gone down in price Frowner Confused.
Last couple I saw were in $4500 range.
Yes, Browning imported 1,863 Belguim made FN FAL's with "Browning Arms company" stamped on the recievers.
These were all sear cut guns, ie. disconector removed and semi-auto selector installed. Then the ATF got wind of these and ceased importation, the existing 1,863 were grandfathered in a letter issued by the ATF listing all the serial # of the OK'ed guns.
If the Dem's get in and reinstate "Assault ban" thumbdown I wonder what will happen to prices ? shocker

Can't find one with the "Browning" logo but for comparison, see this "Steyr" marked FN FAL. And note that the opening bid is $3600!
