FN/FAL owners sound off, lets hear some details about your rifle.

My rifle is a DS Arms SA58 standard rifle. The only modifications I have done so far is a scope mount and a extended safety.

I've always been fascinated by those rifles, for their reputation of reliability alone!
There's a G3 and an older CETME in my local haunt that has been calling to me. The Cetme is more affordable right now, but I may just hold out for that G3. The one I am looking at has new wood furniture [G3]...I've only seem them like yours.

here is another pic of my FN/FAL next to a local river.

For some reason I really like this pic - with the contrasting colors of the rifle and the river in the background.

I no longer have my Springfield Armory SAR-48 Bush Rifle or my Belguim FAL with Douglas Premium Match bbl. (paid only $1 for that one in Germany long ago). My farthest shot on a deer was with the Bush rifle (18"bbl) mounting a Simmions 2.5x scope on a whitetail at 300m, one shot was all I needed.

Have carried several Belguim select fire ones in Iraq over the years. Never had to fire them in anger though.

Between the mp5 and the H&K SP89, that is around $10,000 worth of firearms.

Always liked the FAL.Here is a pic of my Belgium Fal on a Aussie L2A1 kit.
Always runs flawless.

I will be looking for a good FN FAL after the first of the year. Just saying...

Prices are a bit depressed and have been for about the last two years. It's the economy. I've got two. One is an Imbel non-gear logo receiver with a S.A. lower and an Austrian Front end. It's a Century import and it's one that they got right.
My second is a DSA SA58 pistol. Loud. Lots of flash. I think that this summer I may SBR it and add a Belgian side folder.
J&G Sales was running a sale on "Good to Excellent" mags last fall and I stocked up then found my local guy had a pile of new cleaned Israeli mags and I made him an offer on a package so I'm set for mags.

My last one isnt an FAL but an FN-49. Egptian contract in 8mm Mauser. Just a very nice rifle.

I had a Century IMBEL FAL inch pattern gun with the thumbhole stock. It was a nice gun and shot pretty good. I sold it this summer for a down payment on a RRA LAR-8 predator. I figure the LAR-8 is a more accurate up to date FAL.


I have a large supply of FAL mags that will be used with the LAR-8 when the Zombies attack in their Blue uniforms. LOL.

This is my 1st FAL. Nothing like a 7.62 battle rifle. Too many AR's at the range. Get's a lot of looks. New model DSA STG58 with Entreprise Arms Zero Climb brake and m249 SAW grip installed.
