How long are 30 round FAL magazines?
I know they're long, but how long?

Curved or straight?  I'm at work and will be for the next month, so I can't measure my straight one, unfortunately.  

Do you need to know for pouches?  I have Canadian Pattern 82 pouches for them (they work with the straight ones; I think only British were curved) and interestingly they are also the perfect length for Glock 33-round 9mm mags, which might help give you an indication of the overall length, as they were within a fraction of an inch from one another.  I think Israeli and South African pouches exist for them as well.  I've seen Belgian-purchased FALOs in use with them in photos from the 1960s, so perhaps they also made pouches for them at some point (never seen them, though).

They do, but they're hard to find. Took me forever to find my four P70 pouches. I believe they fit 35 round Galil mags, too.

Thanks guys.
Yeah for magazine pouches but probably the opposite of what you think.

I have no FAL but have pouches.
I've got some some Belgian Vigneron SMG magazine pouches I'm going to do a video review of, and was figuring out what they're good for besides 32 round 9mm stick mags.

If they're the length apexgunparts says, the mags are about an inch short.
straight mags would definitely work with a magpul, or a piece of foam on the bottom of the pouch as a spacer.
Don't know if a curved one would fit.

Do those not have dividers?

The 30 is pretty close to a Glock 33 round mag if you have one to try in the pouch. I wish I had access to.mine right now so I could measure it.
