Thanks for your info

But we put discussions on the discussion page. It is inappropriate to edit into the category descriptions of the page. thanks for your input on the 50.63 details. That gun was a HOLLYWOOD built blank firing gun to emulate a 50.63. Since I haven't seen an "authentic" 50.63 that has the details you outlined yet, that image was the best IMFDB could get. That was photographed from movie gun inventory that I had access to. Now I will look for the details you specifically list and try to see who in the industry has a 50.63 that more closely fits the detailed descriptions. Do you have access to one? I would appreciate a good photo. There are none on the net. If you are just a Fal enthusiast who knows what to look for, than I still appreciate the input. This image will stay for now in the 50.63 category since that is what it is supposed to be. But now I have a blue print to look for when I photograph other FAls. MPM2008

First off my apologies for using the edit feature in that Para Fal Clone Pic I was unable to locate a more appropriate area IE the discussion page.

I worked for some movie / commercial production companies mostly in the special effects circa 1980's so I'm somewhat familiar with movie guns, You should see the collection that came from stembridge when they folded up the shop.

Yes matter of fact I do own several FN FAL 50.63's and other FAL Variants and would be happy to take some pics to provide for your website here.

Although I will admitt I am limited to a POS Kodak digital camera, I spend alot more coin on my firearms than I do on modern photographic equipment. I do have an old Canon F1 but have not mastered its features yet.

Another valuable source of into for you would be two items one a website known as the http://www.falfiles.com and another would be the book by a gentleman with the name Blake Stevens called "The FAL" Or his book that deals strictly with the Metric version of the FAL "The Metric FAL"

If you search in Google Images you will see my NIB FN 50.63 along with a few other makes and models of my rifles.

The Rifle picture in question is from my experience a Para clone as it has features that do not allow it to be anything else IE the folding stock is South African in origin and the mag release is from an Inch pattern rifle amounst other features.

The Blake Stevens book will also tell you what features a 50.63 has and how it compares to the other FN Paratrooper rifles IE the FN FAL 50.61, 50.64, and the Non paratrooper rifles as the standard FN 50.00, and the Heavy barrel models 50.41, 50.42.

There is some Google Fodder for you as well.
