Show us your FALs

I'll start with my babies:

 

Wow nice............... I like alot

 

Thank you, anybody else wanna contribute? Surely there are some more FALs out in Taco Land.

 

Here is mine its home made off of an Imble receiver

 

Outstanding. Are you going to scope her? Is that the DSA scope mount?

 

The scope is an IOR 6x30 outside diameter is 35mm

 

How does she group for you?

 

5 shot groups of 1.5 to 2 inches at 100yd with 147gr South African

 

Nice. South African Battle Packs rock. Ain't it a shame that in all of Tacoma World there aren't more beautiful FALs?

 

most of us went the AR15 route
i love the FAL platform.....i just wouldn't be able to afford to shoot it

 

STG 58 with Isreali wood butt stock.

 

I did go the AR15 route I also went the M1A, and SIG 556 as well.

 

That's what I like to hear. Diversify. C'mon ya'll, the FAL is the right arm of the free world. Don't settle for just an AR15. Afterall, that's just a high powered varmint rifle- you want a real battle rifle don't you? Go for 7.62x51!

By the way, nice STG Motorjock 721- how many Steyr parts is she?

 

Diversity is the spice of life!
I didn’t settle for just an AR15 I got a Noveske!

 

I see you have an AAC 51T Blackout Flash Hider on that Noveske. Might you have a suppressor to complement it?

 

I have installed DSA Speed Triggers into both my FALs. They have a nice crisp break like biting into a fresh green apple.

 

hahahaha

 

what is the weight and recoil like on you SBR FAL? I lean more towards the M1A myself, but that is a nice looking setup.

 

That little feller weighs about 9ish pounds. The VLTOR CASV rail system lightened it quite a bit from the DSA quad rail I had on it before. Also, the Mini-ACOG is of a negligible weight. Now as for recoil, it is not bad at all. Depending on what you want a rifle to do will dictate which rifle you should get. I got the SBR FAL for maximum punch/portability. Now is it a waste of the 7.62's capabilities? Sure is. Does it have a lot more punch than a 5.56mm rifle of the same size? Sure does. I think the M1A Socom 16's without the rails would make a superb little handy ranch rifle. I feel like the railed version is simply much too heavy- for that weight I'd want at least an 18" barrel, but that is just me. Honestly, I prefer the ergonomics of the FAL based rifle to that of the M14 based rifle. That is why I sold my M1A and bought an FAL. M1A's are great and if you like the way they feel they are generally a solid, reliable, and accurate platform. FALs are lighter, but they are generally harder to accurize, and some users report them to be finnicky, but I feel this is often an issue of over used military surplus parts and improperly adjusted gas systems. I actually like the adjustable gas system on the FAL as it allows you to adjust for variables in ammunition and a dirty weapon/adverse conditions. Bare in mind, these are all my OPINIONS, and I have no desire to argue with anyone, but I always enjoy hearing the opinions of other end-users.

 

Not yet going to be getting an AAC SDN-6
