Nice looking rifle, don't be too quick to sell it.
Second the motion. But get on it. Joining over there can take awhile.
Sweet looking FAL. The wood furniture looks particularly nice. I know a lot more about the British SLRs, but yours is configured like an Stg 58. Many, many FAL type rifles in this country are mixmasters, so who knows?
This one doesn’t look like a CAI rifle, though.
The Stg 58 was Austria’s FAL. Your receiver seems to be made by FN. They only made “real” military Stg 58s around 1960, and yours doesn’t look that old.
In MA, that’s maybe a $1200 rifle? It’s been awhile since I was up to speed on the FAL market here.

I have nothing to add, except I am so jealous right now.
I had a DSA Stg58 at one time. Maybe early 00's. As mentioned, when no one built AR's but rocket scientists. I hated the ergonomics of it and sold it. . . for less than what I paid. One of my few firearm fails.
Do I wish I still had it? No. It weighed 100lbs and never felt right in my hands. But I should have held on just for more $. There was no reason to sell it at a loss. Had I waited just a year or two, I could have gotten my money back.
I love the look. It just never felt right. But if any and all of you love it, I'm envious.
