I had one of those with the solid butt many years ago and it too was gorgeous. Those have to be the best looking of the FN series.

xa coupe,... check before you move to the states,... that rifle is unlawful in my state (New Jersey), as are the 20 round capacity magazines.

The FN "Match" rifles were the best FALs I ever owned. Swapped my first fixed stock, standard weight barrel rifle (G.S. Alabama imported) for a wood furnitured heavy barrel rifle. Which was a mistake! The heavy shot so well, however, that a shooting buddy swapped me an AUG AND enough cash to have bought another standard match! Squandered the cash on I don't know what other rifles, and later sold off the AUG for infinitely more than I had in it. (Mostly because it didn't have a good bolt closing method after insertion of a new mag.)

SO, still wishing I had an FN! Don't part with it lightly, you will be apt to regret it.


ETA: Dang, that rifle needs to be shot some! T'ain't a museum piece. (I never did rapid fire my FALs, though, afraid of hurting bore life/accuracy. Probably still wouldn't IF I ever get another that shoots as precisely.)

ETA2: never mind, it's just well cared for:


Note the butt wear and loss of paint behind the ejection port.

I know that it is different all over the place. I love San Fran but wouldn't move to Kalifornia in a million years. I will find somewhere that scores a 0 in the Brady list !
