FN-FAL torture test

[ghostrider]

impressive.
it more tolerate of dirt/mud/abuse than I thought.

[Beiruty]

FNFAL is one the real battle rifle. Impressive rifle for its time, adjustable gas block, 7.62 power, bolt hold open feature, accurate but it is not a sniper rifle, long barrel, the only negative is the weight.

A very reliable work horse. I Fabrique National Herstal is one of the great co for small firearms. I am puzzled why this rifle is left behind. I guess it is length/weight that sealed its fate.

[C-dub]

That's cool.

Pop the bolt back in and go. Wow!

[Deltaboy]

I have only handle one one time. It is a FINE RIFLE.

Yes, great battle rifle alright. First modern military firearm that I ever shot and learned to field strip.

Andy,

Wasn't that your FAL you let me shoot at one of our Elm Fork get-togethers? That was a fine battle rifle. I really liked it!

[Pawpaw]

That's strange. I don't remember that being an issue at all and I normally prefer a shorter LOP.

What I do remember was how easily it made those dirt clods disappear.

You actually reminded me of something I've been meaning to get for years - a complete Para lower kit for the barreled upper:

I'll have to call Dave in the morning and see if they actually have one in stock.

Are FAL lowers the part with the serial number, like with an AR?
