Century Arms IMBEL M964 Sporter FAL 7.62 NATO Semi-Auto Rifle – Forged Gear-Logo Receiver, 21" Threaded Barrel, 10 Mags
This M964 Sporter pairs a forged IMBEL Type III “gear-logo” receiver with surplus metric FAL components, giving shooters a classic 7.62 NATO battle rifle assembled by Century Arms during the early 2000s Georgia, VT import period. A 21-inch chrome-moly barrel, short-stroke gas piston system, and Belgian-style long combo flash hider keep the rifle true to its military roots while remaining 922(r) compliant with U.S. parts. Ten metric steel magazines and an installed web sling round out a package that appeals to collectors and enthusiasts alike.

The receiver is an IMBEL-made, forged steel Type III unit bearing the distinctive gear logo and C.A.I. Georgia, VT import stamp—an import mark produced only from 2002 to 2005 and considered scarcer among FAL enthusiasts.
A 21" chrome-moly barrel is threaded 9/16-24 LH and fitted with the Belgian-style long combination flash hider featuring a bayonet lug. The barrel, receiver, and small parts share a uniform matte grey parkerized finish.
The short-stroke gas piston action uses an adjustable regulator, allowing reliable operation across ammunition types and environmental conditions. A left-side, non-reciprocating charging handle and a manual three-position selector marked “S R A” (automatic position blocked) mirror original FN features.
Furniture consists of a black glass-filled nylon stock with trap-door buttplate, ribbed polymer bipod-cut handguards, a folding sheet-steel bipod, and a ribbed carry handle. Adjustable iron sights include a protected front post and a rear aperture ramp adjustable for 200–600 meters.
The rifle accepts standard metric FAL magazines; ten are included, giving the buyer ample capacity right out of the box.
