The Blackest Black Rifle?

Is the mighty FAL the world's blackest "black rifle"?? I dunno, but this one sure can SHOOT!! I picked it up recently off Gunbroker from a guy that builds these from Steyr STG-58 parts kits and DSA SA-58 receivers.

Other pics of black rifles welcome here. :D

A bucket-list rifle for me.

Wanted one since God's dog was a puppy.

Shot the British L1A1 version many years ago as a cadet. Sadly they are banned over here now.......... :(
 
Very nice acquisition!

I was keeping an eye on several pre-owned DSA FALs, at a large local gun store, anticipating a potential April 2020 purchase, when I would have a modest infusion of cash. Well, we all know what happened in early 2020; those FALs had been snapped-up before I had the cash. In hindsight, I should have traded something, earlier.

I had been anticipating adding an FAL, for a very long time. It seemed, to me, to be the best “black rifle.” The AR15 is not my ergonomic cup of tea, but is what I needed, if I wanted to carry a patrol rifle, while on duty, or to be familiar with what my colleagues were carrying. Retirement from LEO-ing, in 2018, turned my attention, again, to the FAL.
