F.A.L.'s I hardly ever see any in Pa...

[R L Suehr]

We have two FALS in our collection, a DSA SA58-0SW and an L1A1. Personally, I love the L1A1, took a while to get it to rock on full-auto, but it's surprisingly controllable. That DSA just beats you to death.

I'm planning on attending the June 15th PAFOA Group Shoot and I'll bring up the L1A1 if you are going to be there, have to shoot it on semi-auto though.

That's just depressing, having a fun switch present and you can't use it. You should come up to the central PA shoot, where we allow rifles to be themselves.

I've twisted together a lot of FALs over the years.
There's a few of them laying around here still.

The best kits dried up many years ago and now command upwards of a grand for primo kits.
DSA receivers have been hit or miss over the years. There is a premium paid for early D.S. LMT contract receivers.

If you haunt the market place at the FAL FILES, good running guns can be had for reasonable prices.
It seems a small number of collectors have driven up prices for primo kits and receivers. Building it yourself is no longer a way to save dough on an FAL.

I would love one, but, just tough to find a good one and starts leaning towards just saying F' it and getting a FNSCAR in 762

You could easily find a nice Imbel kit in very good condition for under $600
Next find an Imbel receiver in between $600 & $650
Then either buy the tools & screw it together or send it off to someone like Mark Graham @ Arizona response systems & have him build it for you.
You'll be into it for about $1500 but it'll be better than anything DSA has put out in a LONG while.

FAL - 8 feet long and 75 lbs

AR15 - Fits in your pocket and doesn't even register on a scale


Mystery solved.


Nice rifles! ^^^

HaHa, awesome!!!!

15yrs ago I saw more fals but with the price of ammo and only dsa, making them, and people hoarding them. Not as many in circulation

I guess I'm one of the Hoarders

[Near Sighted Sniper]

The FAL is not a "platform".
It is a lady-lookin' foreign made collection of sexy Belgian curves that intimidates the shit out of today's Pajama-boy males.
Carry on.

I LOVE it, thanks for the correction, carrying on now.

[Near Sighted Sniper]

Very nice collection, NSS! Perhaps there are none to be seen in PA shops because you own most of the FALs in the state.

You're probably right Noah. I keep telling myself that I don't need any more FAL variants but I just can't help myself

You can reply by pm if you don't want to give anything away in public, but 13 of them... are you planning to take back Rhodesia?

The FALFILES is my usual haunt, most of my riFAL's were built on either Imbel receivers or DS prefix [LMT Made] receivers, I do have 2 Coonan inch receivers & 1 older Coonan metric that Arizona Response Systems built for me into a Rhodesian clone, Mark said it was one of his easier builds.
I'm always in their MP looking for another. I also have 2 Argy receivers, 1 waiting to be built & the other is a Beautiful Argy Para that ARS just sent back to me.
