South Africa made them under license from FN, we called it the R1 (Pronaunced "err een") My uncles and dad who severd back then still refer to them affectionately as the old "errie". The 7.62 cartrige was to heavy for the bush war and the R1 too expencive so they changed to the R4 and R5 (Galill)
Once fired one and it looked to be a decent rifle.
