Teach me about the FAL

[chadbag]

I've not put mine together yet but my understanding is that the inch (L1A1 selector) and inch (L1A1) "extended" magazine release will work on the metric guns -- perhaps with a little "fitting". That is what I have for my metric gun kit but I have not finished it up yet.

I'm not sure about the selector, I'd stick with Metric for a F/C part.

Inch mag releases WILL work. I have one on mine.

You are correct about the selector. I put up a picture of the L1A1 to show the style that DSA is now offering for metric lowers.

That's a metric selector though. Inch selectors won't work in Metric guns.

That's what I just said....I posted the pic of the L1A1 to show the style of the extended selector that they are selling that I linked to for metric lowers.

I know that's what you said, it's not what he said. You said he was "correct" and I thought it bore clarification for those that might not fully understand the difference between inch/metric.

No offense meant.

[TOrrock]

No worries, my dyslexia was kicking in....I thought he said it wouldn't work.

Anyway.....DSA makes an extended selector for metric lowers that looks a lot like the L1A1 selector.

Templar,

Quick question can you get co-witness, lower 1/3 or otherwise with a low T-1? on the DSA or ARMS mount?

Thanks

I have not gotten a chance to try a T-1 on a FAL yet. I know that you can't get a co-witness with a low mounted Comp M2 or M3, but if you use the T-1 as supplied from Aimpoint with that super low mount, you might get a lower 1/3rd, but again, I haven't gotten a chance to try one out.

I might be able to by the end of the week though.....

How do you know if an Imbel receiver, with no date stamp on the mag well, is pre ban or not?

It was originally built as an STG-58. Does include locking shoulder. Price $525.
Unknown whether it is Metric or Inch.

Thoughts? Thanks.
