Finally bought a FAL!!

[anymanusa]

elevation requires a small special tool with two prongs on the sides and a void in the center. I don't have one, so I just used the slider on the back sight to compensate, roughly.

I actually got my hands on one at the range the other day, but my front sight is at its' limit of adjustment. I have two dots on the sight, I've been told less or more dots means a higher or shorter post, but I'm not sure which way that goes.

The more the dots the taller the front sight post.

Try just using the tip of a loaded 7.62 cartridge in one of the holes to turn the front sight.

thanks for the info Bwana john. Gustav, I decided to go with the A.R.M.S. mounts, at $118 they are pricey, and a Super Sniper scope, 16x. The scope and mounts will switch between my FAL, AR15, and FAR50. I feel compelled to leave my Nikon scope mounted to my DPMS 308. I love this FAL rifle. I hope I can enjoy repeatable accuracy from it with the new optics that I just bought.

Are the Century FALs any good?
