The FN FAL was originally designed for the Belgian Gendarmerie during the 1930s. It was a lighter-weight rifle and featured a gas-operated design. It also had a greater box-fed magazine capacity and a longer range than other platforms. It was able to serve more than 90 police forces and armies during its service, earning it the title of “Right Arm of the Free World.”
You have the chance to win an authentic FN FAL rifle parts kit
The FALs were stored until now when the Belgian Gendarmerie upgraded its service rifles in 1980s. 400 FN FAL model 50.00 rifles have been rediscovered recently and meticulously assembled into parts kits. These kits are compliant with import guidelines and can be imported into the United States to be sold to collectors and enthusiasts.
FN America will be holding sweepstakes to win these 400 rifles from November 1, 2022 to January 21, 2023. Each month, FN America will randomly select more than 100 winners and offer them the chance to purchase a parts set for $899.99.
Be aware, however, that the winners will not be able to purchase a part kit. You must enter each drawing separately. You cannot carry over entries from month to month.
While some parts may have minor imperfections due to previous use, most metal components are free from blemishes and pitting. This is due to long-term storage oils. Some parts, like the bayonets are still in use 30+ years after storage.
This kit contains many original FN FAL parts including:

Federal regulations limit the parts that can be imported into FN. You will need to source FAL parts aftermarket to complete your rifle. You are responsible for sourcing these parts from the United States in order to comply with the ATF.

Grand Prize
FN will award a grand prize to one winner in addition to the 400 parts kits. FN America will choose a winner in February 2023 to receive a semi-automatic FAL rifle (FN/Aftermarket receiver). The prize is worth $2,300.00. The grand prize winner will not only have the chance to buy the parts kit but the rifle itself.
Editor’s Note:
The parts for the FN FAL rifles have been meticulously converted into parts kits that can be assembled. Because of the complexity of this build, FN America recommends you hire a skilled gunsmith to complete the assembly. While I love DIY projects, this is one instance where it would be wise to seek professional help. This is a rare chance to own a piece history. It is worth taking special care to ensure it is done correctly.

Chris Cole, Vice President of Marketing and Sales for FN America, LLC, stated that the FN FAL is a well-known FN product. He called it the Right Arm of the Free World. We felt compelled by the opportunity to offer these parts to collectors, so they could own a piece of that legacy.
