Thanks for the help everyone. Noob mistake- I didn't pull the bolt open before I took out the carrier. The (internal hammer?) was the obstruction. Works great now! I'll post pics when I get the chance.

Hi everyone I recently bought a new (well, technically they're used but you get the picture) DSA Stg-58. I bought a scope mount for it- the "Extreme Duty Scope Mount) made especially for the DSA FAL's. I got it on and everything, but I am having trouble getting the bolt carrier assembly back...

Did some cornfield shooting today with some Ultramax 10mm 180gr fmj cartridges, midwayusa.com sells 50 for $25 + s&h and adverts them at 1100fps.

Wildbilll and Geneseo1911, thank you very much for your informed replies! I live in central Illinois (decatur, champaign, ...) so if I understand what you're getting at, the law would most likely favor my side provided it was in fact a self defense presentation of a handgun correct?

What about the law in Illinois specifically? Can someone use facts to propose what would happen in that circumstance in Illinois?

Hey guys. I have been browsing the legal section of this community and I like what I have seen. Very informed advice and extremely mature, helpful replies. I have a serious question. I live in Illinois and the dumb politicians have yet to hop on the ccw wagon. :cuss: In Illinois, it is...
