Picked up a lightly used DSA SA58 Para today from a buddy.

Here's my DSA LW Carbine.
Really liking the way it handles with the T1 on it.

It appears that Kiwi soldier's lover affair with the FAL/L1A1 has never abated...

1NZSAS Group Trooper somewhere in Afghanistan.

Interesting photo. I was a liaison officer with the New Zealand SAS at Khandahar in 2002. All the troopers I saw carried M4 carbines, like our Brit brethern. They were painted desert camo and had an older type Aimpoint sight on them. It would make sense that they had some L1A1s in reserve though. Perhaps that photo was taken a good bit later in the war. The only 7.62 weapons I got to see were some M-14s we had and the G3's the Danish and Norwegian forces had at the time.

After playing with a G series FAL the other week, I've been bitten by the FAL bug. I need one!

Templar,
what brand of b.mag do you have on yours?

That's a Bren mag from DSA that they modify to use in a metric rifle. I got several with the rifle, I haven't run them in it yet, but pushing 30 rds. of 7.62x51mm up is a lot to ask....the Bren fed down and used gravity to help feed.

I'll have to see how reliable they are.

Maybe this is an off-topic question, but how do those optic mounts on the top dustcover hold zero if you take the top cover off to clean the gun?

I have a Belgian para FN and am wondering about the possibility of setting it up with a an optic.

thanks
