Re: Right arm of the free world- School me
There are some Turds , so look out! Expect them to be battlefield accurate , same can be said for the trigger, its a battle trigger. Scope mounting is a PITA , requires special top cover and only a few are worth buying. I like the para length FAL, the rifle length just seems to darn long. Heavy , real robust , but heavy. Always had them run well.

Re: Right arm of the free world- School me
Many have a fluted chamber that will effectively destroy any brass cartridge fired in it. Reloading expensive .308 ammo becomes problematic.
Other than that, they are reasonably accurate, robust, & very heavy battle rifles.

Yes that is correct HK G3/91 is fluted. FN-FAL unfluted as far as I know.son of liberty wrote:I thought that was only the HK91 series?Wyldman wrote:Many have a fluted chamber that will effectively destroy any brass cartridge fired in it. Reloading expensive .308 ammo becomes problematic.

Any Hesse or Vulcan recieviered rifle , Run! Forest Run!
Trigger of FN -FAL can be honed/stoned for improvement.
Scopes are meh as well as SOL said.

True Battle rifles, not poodle shooters.
Reliable, adjustable gas port.
easy to clean, simple to assemble, headspacing achieved with different sized pins.
decent accuracy, some can be very good, but not a sniper platform.
DSA has any part you need, and good quality.
cons, sights not the greatest, and scoping is by precarious means so far.
same for lights / accesories.
All the Portugese, S.African, and Radway Green, surplus, ammo has dried up.
metric and inch versions, go with the more prevalent metric version if possible

Re: Right arm of the free world- School me
A little info about the inch vs metric pattern FALs
*Inch pattern uppers and metric uppers will fit either inch and metric lowers and you'll find many inch pattern uppers on metric lowers. Mine is like that.
* Metric mags are much more prevalent.
*Metric pattern lowers only accept metric pattern mags.
*Inch pattern lowers accept both inch and metric pattern mags though the metric mag may wobble a bit but this doesn't effect functionally.

There are criminals among us who are both homicidal and incorrigible. Their parents took a shot at civilizing them and failed. Their school teachers took a shot at them and failed. The odds are overwhelming that government welfare programs and penal institutions took a shot at them and failed. If it ever becomes your turn to take a shot at them, don’t fail.

yep Australia, Canada and England used inch version, most others fielded the metric.WLJ wrote:A little info about the inch vs metric pattern FALs
