The FARA 83 (Spanish: Fusíl Automático República Argentina; "Argentine Republic Automatic Rifle") was a rifle locally designed and developed for the Argentine Army in the 1980s.
The FARA-83 was mostly inspired by the Israeli IMI Galil (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMI_Galil). Features include a folding buttstock and tritium sights for aiming in low light conditions; the rifle uses a proprietary 30 round Beretta AR70 magazines(early issue), and has a trigger group that enables semi-automatic and fully-automatic fire.
The assault rifle was only produced in about 1,200 examples before lack of funding forced its termination.
