ORIGINAL SIDE FOLDING FNC 223 REMINGTON SPORTER RIFLE

24-535
Cal. 223 Rem
S# FN023697

Bbl. 16.5″. A very clean original Belgium manufactured Fabrique Nationale rifle. The FNC, a scaled down & refined variant of the famous FN FAL was imported into the United States until 1987 and remains a rare & desirable rifle to this day. It utilizes a 2 position gas system w/ an integral grenade launcher front sight which functions as a gas shutoff valve when deployed. The gas system is adjusted to send more pressure rearward if the gun should become fouled by rotating the gas tube 90 degrees clockwise. This particular piece was imported by Gun South Inc, from Birmingham, AL. The left side safety / selector is marked “S” (safe) / “1” (semi). Matte black finish on all exterior surfaces. Protected post front sight w/ dual aperture rear sight. Right side folding shoulder stock. Ingenious spring loaded dust cover on right side remains under constant pressure, momentarily lifting during the firing cycle, to immediately be closed again upon firing. Utilizes standard AR-15 magazines. Left side of receiver marked w/ serial number & “FABRIQUE NATIONALE HERSTAL / MADE IN BELGIUM / STEYR SECAUCUS NJ / GUNSOUTH BIRMINGHAM AL”. / CAL. .223 REM SPORTER.” MAGS: 1 steel 30 rd.
