What kind of scope is that?

Just picked it up last week....1 day shy of 21 weeks with the gunsmith.
It does look good except for the unfinished hinge pin. I'll fix that soon. We need to get together soon for another shoot. |

Holy shit! Nice OSW! That's an original FN isn't it?
|
|

Yep! Can't wait to finish jazzing it up. I'm going to have a RAS handguards and I think a Doctor red dot sight on DSA's new para scope mount, and maybe a new grip. Hmmm. |

Man, that is sweet. I'm actually glad to see somebody willing to do that to an original. A lot of folks are afraid to do that. On something rare like a 50.42, I'd certainly not do it, but you've really made the most of that thing. |

|
Oh yeah... you really should consider an ARMS mount rather than DSA. It is so much more trim and easy to install and remove. Costs a bunch more, but that thing deserves it.
|

Actually, I don't know if I would have the guts to do that. Back in the mid 90's, DSA made a small run of select fire paratroopers with the then OSW prototypes. There were 4 total. They used original FN para's and swapped out the uppers. They were only $3400. I bought one from them already in that configuration so I don't have the original upper. I lament about that sometimes. Which ARMS product are you referring to? I don't see anything for FAL's on their website. I think I vaguely recall purchasing something for my para that included a Swan rail, and it was a special extended rail which is all they had at the SHOT show I was at, but whether it was ARMS or DSA, I can't recall. Is this a RAS type forearm, Receiver cover scope mount, or something else? For one of my other FAL's I was thinking of buying GSRC's modified DSA HD rcvr cover scope mount which is specially cut for an ACOG (keeps the hight low, bolts on directly) and I already got a TA-11E for it. But for the Para, I want to keep it trim. Please give me a little more info on the ARMS product you were talking about. Thanks! |

I believe its the #3. Entreprise sells it here. I've seen them elsewhere as well. I've got one for my para and one on a standard. It doesn't hang over the edges of the receiver.
This picture is of the old model. The new one has the rail all the way forward. Make sure you specify you want the new model. |

Mounting Solutions Plus has the ARMS #3 on sale for $89, and the ARMS #4 (PARA model) on sale for $119.

Thanks cliffy109 and Gloftoe, there goes some more money out the door... Now I am debating if I should even bother with the RAS forend on my para as the polymer stocks are nice and trim. I still want a RAS forend on my other standard FAL's. I've got a nice DSA full size (ordered carbine length but a local dealer screwed that up but I kept it). A CAI/Hesse STG-58 that actually works, though the one screw muzzle brake shot off within the first mag or two never to be seen again. It was nasty looking but had someone dehorn it, repark, and put on a custom folding charging handle as well as fix the groove in the barrel left from the departing brake. Then I have an SA-4800 (or is it SA-48?) which I intended to turn into a para by getting the para kit and a congo barrel for, since it was preban, but I think I'll wait until after the AWB sunsets and see what's what.
I just love para's! I'll shut up now, stop messing up the thread, and replace this post with pics of the others when I get the chance. Cliffy109, in response to your post below, I must have made a mistake then, perhaps it is a SA-48 Match as it is most definitely preban, it was purchased way before the ban (circa '84 or so) and came from the factory with a standard stock and pistol grip. I just couldn't remember the model #. |
