Actually, it isn't so clear. Most of the rebel guns apparently were taken out of old Royal Libyan Army stocks (which were European in origin - FN FALs, FN MAGs, Carcanos) mixed with communist bloc gear captured from Libyan soldiers. Fabrique Nationale did have a contract in 2008-2009 IIRC to refurbish older weapons and supply small quantities of FN 2000s and FN 303s, but that was dwarfed by the $4 billion in weapons Russia was supposed to supply.

Many of the Gadhaffi forces appear to be armed with AK-103s:
