Hey guys so I just bought my first FAL recently. It's a DSA Arms Para Tactical 16" with short gas system. I replaced the top cover with a scope mount from DSA. I replaced the flash hider with an AAC 51T mount. I added a scope I had laying around. The rifle came with a sling which was cool. I had the gas plug modified by a member from FALfiles.com. Stimpsonjcat welded the gas plug up and re-drilled the hole smaller. My rifle was over-gassed before for sure. With the new gas plug it runs great at the halfway mark for both suppressed and unsuppressed. I did notice a small problem with gas in the face coming out of the back of the upper receiver. So I'm thinking about trying to seal up the upper and lower receivers with some Silicone. But yeah I'm becoming a FAL fan for sure! My only other semi-auto 308 rifle is an HK-91, great rifle, very reliable, but it's a bit heavy and awkward to handle at times. The FAL has much better controls and is lighter and handier. The Hk is a little better suppressed though, with no gas in the face and I think it might be a tad quieter. I like the FAL scope mount much better though, rock solid! The Hk mounts kinda suck... I also like how easy this rifle is to take apart and clean compared to my HK. Both are still fantastic shooters of course. Oh and one thing I want to work on is the FAL trigger, why is it so freaking heavy!! Still got very good accuracy out of the rifle though, just had to do my part. You guys have any suggestions for a trigger upgrade? Thanks, Dave    |

Awww hell...here come another 50 requests! I still say we should try an even smaller gas plug hole. |

Quote HistoryUmm... There are some differing opinions on that, at least regarding his FAL work, from some of the most respected people on FALfiles. He did a great job on my XCR trigger however. |

From what I've read on the FAL files being well respected by those jerks isn't a ringing endorsement. Just my opinion.

Bill Springfield did a trigger job on my PTR91 back in 2004.
It was great. A couple years ago I recommended him and there were no positive comments about his work. I guess his quality and customer service have fallen off in the past few years. |
