I believe the bolt-action rifle Castro uses is not a Model 70, but a sporterized M1917 Enfield rifle, or the Remington Model 30, an inter-war commercial variant.

I admit I might have gone a bit over the top with the G series entry. Please remove if you find it too much. I just found it very interesting to see such a rare version in a movie. :) Here is where I found the info on the FN FAL G series. Dudester32 (talk) 12:10, 12 September 2016 (EDT)
