I've got these inch mags that I can't used I know that they can be converted to metric I just don't know how hard that is to do. Or should I sell them and get metric mags ?
As the title says i am looking for a 50 round drum. I just got my SA 58 and want to get a drum for it. If no one has one is the Promag drum any good?
I am sitting on a bunch of FAL mags that I am considering selling, and I was wondering about current pricing. They sure have gone up since I bought the lot that I have, but I think there are still some bargains out there. There is one auction that is for 10 starting at a penny. I don't know if there is a reserve or not.
I also have a SADF "hippo" pack that I think I will put up on GAFS, but I have to figure out it's relative worth too. Any of you guys have one?
And who is wanting Santa to bring mags for Christmas?
So I recently purchased the DSA SA58 FAL RIFLE-TRADITIONAL PROFILE BARREL, PARA STOCK RIFLE and the gun will not cycle I shot about 40rnds through it and tried every gas setting and the closest it got was not even ejecting the brass but the bolt would move the ammo I was using was .308 WINCHESTER IGMAN 147 GR and per the owner’s manual it says it can run .308 and 7.62x51 nato so i guess I’m just looking for answers before returning it.
Looking to buy a Vltor Fal Handguard Long for my Fal, anybody here looking to sell one or know where I can find one?
Spotted with the Myanmar’s rebel forces
I’ve had this rifle for about a decade now. Took a gamble on it as it wasn’t functioning when I bought it and I really had no idea what kind of rifle it was. The piston was seized and it had weak primer strikes so it was a single shot rifle, sometimes. Now it sits here as a really great shooting rifle.
Did a few upgrades to my favorite battle rifle...
You guys here have been great to me so I’ll ask you, yesterday across about 400 rounds I had an insane amount of issues, stovepipes, failure to feed you name it. Seemed to be with certain magazines. What I had to do more than anything was assist the rifle going into battery with the live round. It’s as if the recoil spring doesn’t have enough power to strip the round from the mag and go into battery. I had to pull the bolt a little and let it drop, pull it and let it drop and then it would seat the round incrementally as I pull the bolt. Any tips? It’s an 01 sa58 from DSA. “The good stuff”. I will add that no I did not properly adjust the gas I ran the rifle on setting 1. Maybe that was not wise. I’m open to input thanks fellas
Recently been liking the FAL a lot but I dont have a ton of money to spare right now and the DSA seems to be a solid option anybody got any thoughts on them or any other semi-affordble new production FALS?
Tempted for parts
From the perspective of the shooter, turning the muzzle device counter clockwise loosens the muzzle device. Would this be Left handed threads or right handed threads?
Right now I’m running an Eotech I’m think of switching to a primary arms 3x or 5x with a Piggy back rds anyone have a good reason to go with one or the other?
I’m trying to mount a light to my SA58. I’d prefer not to mount it to the barrel, or swap the handguard. Are there any other options for mounting a light?
