Teach me about the FAL

Ok thanks to a new friend in the industry I have a prototype back. They have a long history with this stuff, so I didn't turn it out in my garage.

Intial impression I like it.

Low mount for the Micro on the FAL. It is not QD.


because to do so would be to high to co-witness.






My high res camera was stolen by the wife and kids so this is all I have:






now I need to check when my ammo is due in.

Thoughts?

VERY nicely executed.
A couple of things come to my mind and MENS (Mission Essential Needs)
Just got back from OCNUS Maritime deployment in GOA.
We used DSA Tactical Carbine w/ La Rue pivot mount, Aimpoint 3X and EO Techs. (I prefer Aimpoint)

I would create make a mount for the A impoint 3X so you can switch from CQB-300 to 600 yd range by flipping to the 3X similar to La Rue Pivot mount BUT will have to be altered due to height changes etc.

I would also like to see a little more sight picture and 1/3 Co Witness rathe than 1/2. imo too much field of view obscurred by bottom portion of sight picture on a already limited objectice size sight.
Not being pedantic just a preferance.

Nicely done and executed. The dedicated mount is probably a better method of afixment in relality than the DSA Para Mount. I would make a block of a slight higher demension and longer screws about .5" or so and see how that works out for better sight pic and Co-Witness etc.

Pic of my FAL which now has Para w/ M4 CTR folder stock & T-1 with NO Co-Witness but better sight picture done about 2 years ago.

Putting in a spacer to give more of a lower 1/3 should be easy enough. I don't see getting a magnifiyer into the mix though. Perhaps it can be done, but you would have to raise the sight line up enough that you could no longer co-witness. I'm not a fan of the magifiiers so I don't have any around to try it with. It's only possible to get the optic this low becasue it's a T-1. Even with one of the other MRD's the body is still going to make it hard to set up.

DMR,

Check.

Understood, I'm trying to have my cake and eat it to, since I have all the KIT already.


Otherwise, I might as well put a S&B/NF 1X4 & call it a day.

Could you elucidate who made/makes that mount for you or PM me if you prefer PERSEC.


I would be interested in getting one of those to play with as well.

TIA

Very nice build you have there. Who built it for you? Thanks.

Thanks CZ. It was a stock SA58 Carbine I bought from DSA c. 1999. I have since upgraded it to the current configuration. I had the standard Extreme Duty scope mount, but the ACOG mounted in an ARMS #19 dual throw lever mount was a bit too high for my liking. The new mount is just right with a much better cheek weld. Other future upgrades planned are an extended safety lever and possibly an alloy lower receiver.

Negotiations are on going, will be a few weeks before we have the kinks worked out. I doubt I will be the one offering the final product, but it's nice to dream sometimes.

[VooDoo6Actual]

check.

Ballistic, Does that Para sight retro the standard rear?
