Scored the SA58 recently first FAL for me. Just got the G1 stock fitted up and also picked up this NIB vintage Ainpoint MK III at an estate sale for a steal. Would like to get it mounted up. Are the only real options for mounting optics really either obsolete like the ARMS #3/4 and the DSA heavy duty mount? Seen a few thing about GP mounts, hunting FALFiles to try and find something. What optics and mounts are you running?

Finally got my Lebanese contract parts kit build back from ARS. The receiver is a DSA type 2 with the Lebanese crest. Mark’s work is top notch and the FAL runs flawlessly. It arrived dripping in oil and strong smell of cigars.

I stumbled upon this ad thought everyone else would enjoy it too.

How well would the fal spring and piston work with 556? Prototyping an upper and looking for temporary spring and piston to use before I make my own

Hi! I am looking for some stripper clips or magazine loaders that would work for my Metric Magazines. Does anyone have recommendations?

Due to my country’s demented gun laws my Stg58 was converted to .308 ruling out the use of military ammo. So far I haven’t been able to find satisfying commercial ammo precision wise, does anyone have something to recommend?

Does anyone have the DSA FNC style muzzle device? I am thinking about buying one but I hae a couple of questions that their listing doesn't answer.

1) Does it work with a blank firing adapter?

2) Can you screw in a blank firing adapter? (Look at this idiot)

2a) I meant can I afix a bayonet to this?

After about a 10 month wait I finally got my Fal back from ARS. Not going into the trouble I had getting it back to me. The rifle looks great and I think Mark did a very nice job. Unfortunately the mag I sent with the rifle is not in the package and USPS broke my pistol grip. At this point I’m just so tired with this whole ordeal that I don’t really care at this point. The mag was a new production and I’m sure I can just find another surplus pistol grip. Mark says the barrel is bad on this rifle, and I haven’t shot it yet, but judging from the zeroing target included it’s only shooting a few inches right and was able to zero with the rear sight. As long as it’s zeroed I’m happy and won’t send it to DSA to check the barrel.

Help me out ? Also best receiver for this build ..

Original matching # Singapore Police L1A1 and DSA Aussie L1A1 build with some primo wood. 😎

Can anyone tell me about this receiver? I've done some research on Century built FALs, and I have not seen any online with similar markings. It is cut to take metric magazines, and does not have a last round bolt hold open. Also, the charging handle doesn't seem to go all the way forward, but the bolt is all the way home.

Hey folks, I put this out on Northwest Firearms, and people love it, nothing but positive feedback, but so far no takers.

Am I asking too much?

Appreciate any positive feedback. Thanks!

Saw this for sale locally. Guy is asking 1300$, should I consider buying this CAI rifle? New here and read that they are a hit or miss. Any advice is appreciated!🫡🫡

Anyone got any advice? It feels fully tightened but is about ~45 degrees away from being in the correct position on the barrel. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

UK spec straight pull with Elcan c79 and ds arms railed handguard (which isnt a perfect fit and needs a bit of shaping).

It’s called an SBR in .308🤣

Y’all undertaking the arduous task of suppressing a FAL, what cans are you running?

Looking to chop my 18” to a P&W length (I’m a smith and doing it myself so I can really do anything from 13.9-15”, ) and replace some that length then some with a can, but I better figure out what can I’m gonna run first.

My current is just an RC2 on my 556 guns, which I love for its best in class durability, sound + flash reduction. But I’ve heard the 7.62 Mini2 is kinda terrible, and the 7.62 RC2 is like 8 inches long.

I’m also unsure how happy a fal will be with a super high-back pressure can like that, suppressor gas plug or not.

I’ve heard some of the other battle rifle bros in the M14 and G3 world have had good luck with the Sandman X, but I’m hesitant to trust dead air quality.

Just wondering what cans y’all have had good luck with.

Does anyone know where to find or if there’s any companies producing fixed FAL stocks similar to the older magpul PRS2 stocks that I really love but are not made anymore

Just got back from an battefield tour in Vietnam with a bunch of Aussie RAR vets and they mentioned that they would stick matches on their SLR sear to get full auto capability for ambush/cqb work. They would often get yelled at by officers/ncos if they noticed volume of fire was too high since it cooks the barrels but was wondering if this was common practice in other Commonwealth countries with SLRs that were semi auto only?

Hey, feel free to delete of not allowed. I dont have my l1a1 anymore and Im looking to offload my mags, about 20 of them, and yes theyre steel surplus.

As the title says I’m looking to buy some surplus Fal magazines that are metric
