They are kind of cool. Would not buy it as my only Fal or SHTF weapon, but they are fine collectors items.

ATR-1

I have one in my safe. Next to my 7.62 FAL. It belongs to a shooting friend
of mine. He want to sell it. He has a lot it in but is willing to take the lost.
It has some problems that I can't discribe. If you PM me I'll put you in touch
with him. The serial number is 52. It would make a nice collectors item.
Thanks,
Scott

Jug,
he is talking about an ATR-1
Not an SAR4800
I tried to buy this to experiment with and he wouldn't sell the POS
