FN FAL 50.63 18" Barreled Paratrooper rifle - 7.62mm © MPM2008 - 2009 Licensed to www.imfdb.org.

I dont mean to be a purist but this FN FAL is not a 50.63.

This rifle is a 50.63 IMO. http://www.remtek.com/arms/fn/fal/5063/5063.gif

The FN 5063 does not have a Carry handle or carry handle cut in the receiver, It does not have the funky stock that the rifle pictured does, It does not have a two position rear sight, It does not have the vertical take down lever ( it used a horizontal take down lever), the 50.63 also featured a Semi Auto selector with a Hook that would not allow SA selector to go past the "R" position, see a closeup pic of the semi auto selector and the horizontal take down lever at the link below. Left side of receiver showing caliber roll mark and selector / Horizontal take down lever. http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j184/mag-lock/5063-1.jpg.

See the receiver markings at pictures at the links below. MFG roll mark right side of receiver.. http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j184/mag-lock/5063-3.jpg

Import roll mark right side at mag well. http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j184/mag-lock/5063-2.jpg
