Name of that gun? That shit looks sick

Might be an FN FAL? Receiver and stock look right, but the handguard looks weird and the carry handle isn't visible, though both might be down to modifications.

Edit: looking into it. Cuba had FN FALs before they switched to soviet weapons, but I can't see any crest on the magazine wall.

This is actually an FN CAL. It sorta looks like a slightly smaller FAL but it was a rotating bolt chambered in 5.56. It wasn't produced for very long, eventually replaced by the FN FNC.

Thanks for the info!
