I like to frequent public auctions and one day I went to one that listed, ".308 Sporter" as a firearm they were selling. I went up to the table and instantly recognized it was a FN FAL. I purchased it and shot it the same day (50 rounds of steel case, 40 rounds of Winchester brass.) with no problems.
My problem is I haven't seen any that look like mine. The grey metal, lack of a flash suppressor, and the barrel looks shorter than pictures I've seen. I know that in the 80's Century Arms sold a lot of these as kits and I believe this to be one of them. Stamped on the side it clearly states "Century Arms L1A1 .308 Sporter". I know that the receiver is metric as I purchased some inch magazines and they will not fit, but other than that I'm in the dark. I would also like to try and determine it's value because while I enjoy the piece, it doesn't fit in my collection.
Any information you all can provide would be much appreciated.Information
