On a more serious note, what have your collective experiences been like with the thirty-round magazines?

I have a metric one from DSA and have had zero issues with it so far. I was a little skeptical when I first got it, since it looks like it was welded by a drunk chimp, but on the range it runs just fine.

your all evil and should hand your rifles over to the nearest UN representative such as me
just jealous even if we were allowed to own SLRs again theres no where to shoot them

Dang it W.E.G!!! Why did you have to go and start a thread like this?:banghead:

Recently I had a poll: M1 Garand or FAL. I let you guys vote and so I bought a garand, and while I'm not disappointed at all with my/your guys decision, now I really really want an FAL too!

Beautiful FAL's guys! I'm really jealous, and now looking at purchasing an FAL.

STGs can still be had for a pretty good price.

[anthony-white]

Just got this one this weekend and painted it myself while bored. CAI R1A1 Hesse. Widows peak feedramp, and sand cut bolt. Shoots great, no probs yet! Thats all I know about these things, learning something new about them every day.

Sorry, one more that I can't resist

Beautiful, Kris. I love both of them.

Right click and save.

 

[myrockfight]

Nice -

Those are great iamkris. I read a great article in one the of the gun magazines about the shorty FAL and how they were coming into service as the .223 isn't gettin' the job done for some folks over in the sandbox.

I was aggravated because I was looking for it and I think it got tossed in my latest move.

 

[Deer Hunter]

Here's something I always enjoy reading. The 9-hour, 10,000 round SA58 test.

Next to Ol' Dirty, it's some of my favorite FAL reading.

This might be a bone-headed question, but do they make FAL's in 30-06?

 

[Deer Hunter]

Nope. FALs were made in various old rounds, such as 7.92x33mm and 7x45mm, as well as .223 and .308 originally. DSA produced .260 remington and .243 versions, though. I saw once on FAL files that a .35 caliber round based off of the .308 was made for it.

However, I'm still waiting on the .45 caliber version based off of the .308 case.

 

[HorseSoldier]

Don't think they ever did, though there may have been some prototypes along the way back early on. The Belgians seemed much more interested in intermediate rounds, making versions in both 7.92 Kurtz and .280 British before NATO standardization forced 7.62x51.

 

[eldon519]

The .35 caliber round bases on the .308 is the .358 Winchester. I don't know if that is what you're talking about.

 

[islandphish]

Does anyone know what marks Century puts on their FAL's when they assemble? I assume there will be receiver marking, is there anything else?

I'm curious b/c I'd like to know how to tell the diff between a CAI build and a build done with just a CAI imported receiver.

 

[Deer Hunter]

Yeah, that's it Eldon. The guy called it his "thumper".

 

[artech]

Couple of mine. FALs are the best!

 

[Mumbles_45]

Bump

[Deer Hunter]

Nice mumbles. Is it yours?
