Absolutely stunning original FN-D machine gun with gunners kit, two barrels, and two 20 round magazines. Many will attest that this very close relative of the Browning Automatic Rifle is the best of the updates and variations from a shooter’s standpoint. Muzzle thread protector at muzzle with flash hider in gunner’s kit, user friendly adjustable gas nut at front of gas cylinder, positive and effective bipod mounted to the gas cylinder, carrying handle which does not flop around, quick change barrel, lever actuated cover for the ejection port, magazine release which is ergonomic for the firer, pistol grip, and monopod, as well as flip-up buttplate. Magazine loader, spare mainspring, broken case extractor, oil cans, and small parts all included in the gunner’s kit. Spare barrel in original canvas and leather carrier. ATF Registration form shows simply, "Bulgaria” in the manufacturer’s block, but there are Belgian and British firing proof marks on the gun Large “AL” at top of receiver. Visible numbers match. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is near excellent black enamel paint refinish with the exception of the index marks on the monopod which are absolutely clean. Wood shows the usual bruising from the bipod feet with a sliver of wood missing on the right side. Otherwise light dings and handling marks. Mechanics. Bore is near excellent shiny and bright. Spare barrel bore also extremely fine shiny and bright. Bolt face is fine. This is a select fire machine gun. A great machine gun to take to the range and enjoy with all the best features.
