I carried FNs in the Canadian army for 15 years so I'm very familiar with them. A friend of mine got an Imbel here a few years ago(quite a few) and when I handled it I found it to be every bit as good as what I was used to. I didn't get to shoot it but the weapon it's self appeared to be flawless. I can't say about the price but the gun should be a good risk.
