Back in the early 90s, I traded about $9,000+ worth of AR15s for a French Giat FRG2 bolt action .308. According to the information that I was able to find, 20 something modified FRF2 (unmodified FRF2 in picture) rifles were imported into this country during the 80s for evaluation by the US armed forces. They were not a hit with the government and the guns were sold to the public. Mine had the Virginia import markings on it and a Kahles ZF 84 scope.
