Teach me about the FAL

[SteyrAUG]

The nicest ones are built on DSA Arms receivers, but, despite rumors to the contrary, the Entreprise ARMS STG-58 is a workable rifle.

The one I had sure wasn't.

I really wish it was workable, when my Grandfather passed away several years ago he left all the grandkids a grand. I took mine and grabbed an Entreprise when I/O was selling them and looked forward to making fond memories with a rifle that would make me think of my grandfather every time I went shooting.

Sadly the thing was a jamomatic and completely unreliable. As a result I sold it, something I never would have done otherwise, and turned it into a DSA rifle. The DSA rifle has run accurate and error free ever since I got it. The best part of course is the DSA FAL reminds me of the rifle it replaced, which makes me think about my grandfather.

Templar you posted this pic of Larry Vicker's FAL said he had a G2 attached to the handguards, and later that you were going to attach a light to one.



Did you attach the white light? If so how are you and Larry attaching the picatinny to the handguards?

I have a G2 I would like to attach to my DSA PARA.

Thanks,
Cameron

Cameron, I bought the piece of rail that DSA sells that allows you to attach to the standard handguards through one of the vent holes. I'll be honest, I haven't installed yet, I've been swamped with other stuff.

As soon as I do, I'll post pics though. I'm probably going to run it with a tape switch to allow either hand to activate the light.

The Springfield Armory store is selling what is reported to be unused IMI SAR 4800 magazines for $13.50 each,
which I read are metric FAL mags and that they can be / are a tight fit.

Are there any reservations with these mags for use as primary mags, or only for range use?

Well, they show a picture of a M14 magazine for them, but FAL mags are good to go, whether they're Belgian, German, Israeli, Austrian, etc.
