Springfield SAR-4800 Sporter 308 7.62 Nato 21″ Barrel W/ Bayonet

The Springfield Armory SAR-4800 is a semi-automatic FN FAL variant imported in the early 1990s and manufactured by IMBEL in Brazil, a company known for producing high-quality FAL rifles under license. Chambered in .308 Winchester (7.62x51mm NATO), this rifle features a 21-inch barrel, maintaining its military counterpart's full-length battle rifle profile. Originally designed to comply with U.S. import regulations, many SAR-4800 rifles were later modified by owners to restore traditional FAL configurations.

This particular SAR-4800 has been upgraded with a pistol grip, a 4-inch flash hider with an integrated bayonet lug, and an accompanying bayonet, closely resembling its military predecessors. Adding the flash hider and lug suggests a conversion to a more authentic FN FAL aesthetic, as original SAR-4800 imports lacked these features. Retaining its forged IMBEL receiver and robust gas-piston operation, the rifle continues to deliver the legendary reliability and accuracy of the FAL platform.

With its highly sought-after IMBEL construction and enhanced features, this SAR-4800 is a premium example of a civilian FAL rifle. Whether for collectors, shooters, or FAL enthusiasts, this rifle offers historical significance, practical durability, and classic battle rifle performance.
