Anyone have one?
Ive kicked around the thought of a 8" SBR 308 to let freedom ring. Looks like you have this option or the G3PDW. Thoughts? Pics are even better

I have one of those there SBR FAL things. It is an Imbel kit that I used a 8 or 9 in DSA barrels on it ( I can't remember the exact length right now). It is a tack driver out to 200 yds and one barking son of a gun. I do not have any pics on my phone or work computer at this moment, but maybe when I get home, I can post pic or two. I love that thing and thought about a folding stock for it, but I like the full stock as it is. Just do it...you will like it.

This is why I love .308, minimal loss of accuracy even with a loss of velocity. But, they are thumpers. If you've ever shot an SBR FAL full auto...Gottdamn! |

FAL is fun, but not very compatible with optics. You can mount them, but it is fundamentally inferior to a flattop AR.

Shortest FAL I have ever shot was a DSA OSW (with the happy switch). That is as short as I would ever want to go on a FAL. TOO LOUD.
That said, it was more controllable than the SBR B&T TP9 on full auto. |

DSA doesn't make the OSW length guns in pistol form.... Well atleast not listed and I cant find any in the wild besides the 8". The 11" OSW would be pretty sweet. |

There was a shop that came out for a number of the old Bullet fests that had a full auto shorty FAL. The one year we set up next to them and damn that thing was a thumper! That and the short barreled 1919.

I posted in DS arms industry forum asking why they don't offer the 11" or 13" OSW in pistol form.
I wonder if they could build me one that wouldn't cost an arm and a leg. |

Their pricing is better , atleast for the 8"
Ill shoot them an email. |

The last time I looked Atlantic Firearms had a "pistol" version with the arm brace on their website.

Build your own
DSA has a chopped barrel front end from STG58 with about 8" on it for $50 |

I have the 11" DSA OSW and I like it. With the stock folded it is 23" in length.
