I believe both are GSI, One is fixed and one is detachable.
Both have the smaller straight tube scope, front sight block, M240 flash suppressor, stepped cheek spacer and the FAL butt spacers.
One had the iron sights too.

The detach had a Brown case, M240 type bipod, no sling or manual, the guys at FN have been promising me a manual for 8 years.
My scoped package has the brown case, while the Anchutz sights package has the green case!!!

They were sold in Germany in the 90s, they came with normal scope and ring mount or stanag mount and a small scope like on the pics above.
Parts of the rifle came with add Anschuetz diopters and handstops.
All of them came with a FN-MAG flash hider and bipod and to 10 rounds shortened FN-FAL magazines.

You can get those correct 10 rds magazine on the German gun auction platform "eGun.de" on a regular basis for a normal price.
Search under "FN Sniper"!

Take a fast look from time to time, they are always show up there.
A friend of mine (without PC) want one for his FN Sniper set, so I bought a few for him a year ago!

Thank you very much--- I have been checking and saw that!!!
The 10-round, factory magazine is rare--- that one appears original (i.e., 4 reinforcement tabs on bottom vs. 2 tabs on the 20-round magazines).
However, I have no payment method to use (dislike PayPal), and I am in the U.S.

Thanks
I have 5 rnd fixed, would love to have a mag, but that would mean a trigger assembly and I am not sure I could find the parts I need to do it

I was trying to decipher your markings:
762. = caliber
Star D/S = Belgian Inspectors (Marchal Rene/Jawze Daniel)/(Luyten Martin)
J = ?
K = 1993? (production ceased 1986)
Crown/circle PV = smokless powder proof for rifles since 1968

Andy,
I believe that is a 1951-model scope, but do not hold me to that, as I am not very familiar with that manufacturer!!!
The Belgian date codes that I am familiar with have K (underlined) as 1993--- production supposedly ceased in 1986.
However, I have never seen a SN such as that.

Trying to build a clone and need the contour of the barrel. Length from receiver ring to base of muzzle brake and outside diameter at several places along the barrel would help me get close. Is it tapered or straight contour? Also a close up of how the bipod attaches to the rail would really help me out, and pics of the bipod head.

Hello, new user from uk. I've got an FN 30-11 which I will be using for stalking (deer hunting).
If anyone would would be willing to scan and send a copy of a manual, for this rifle, it would be really usful.
These rifles are not at all common here, and pretty rare on you side of the pond too I know.
My rifle came as a bare rifle with no scope/sights, bipod case or sling....or flash eliminator for that matter. Its a hefty lump for a hunting rifle but I don't mind lugging it about. I like the heavy stubby barrel and, though I would love to shoot over longer ranges, my local target clubs max range is 500yrds...so its not an issue.
It was comparitivly cheep compaired to other magazine fed bolt actions in 7.62mm. I feel comfortable with a feild maintainable idiot resistant weapon in any case.
Would be grate to get a responce, all the best from blighty.

Appologies, now I've bothered to read the full thread....Hello to the German and NZ contributors...had it in my head that this was a US-sentric forum.
I have a spare original FN 30-11 stock should anyone be looking to convert to factory.
I too would like a copy of the manual.
