Love the Elcan on your FAL.
Is it hard to get a decent cheek (chin?) weld? Is eye position very critical with that optic? Nice set up! EMSflyer |

Thanks. No, the cheek weld is not hard, its a lot easier than you'd think, and the eye relief is just about perfect. |

ARMS throw lever mount for the aimpoint. twist off for the magnifier |

Just the aimpoint twist off? or is another manufacturer? Line up good? |

|
|
|
Posted: 8/5/2008 3:54:28 PM EDT
[#18]
Yep. They line up "almost" perfectly. The magnifier is a touch lower I think, but looks fine when looking through. |

I bought a Para kit from Gun Parts Guy. No ser#'s! Belgian Type 3 para lower. DSA stock set, rear sight, top cover, bolt carrier, HG's and recoil springs. 18" Imbel barrel. "0" TE. Bright & shiny bore. Black paint over parking on lower & barrel. SAW grip. Inch vertical locking lever. Side mount front sling on DSA HG's. I bought a DSA Type 1 receiver without CHC from court I think is his username. I changed the Flip-Up Gas Plug Grenade Sight to a standard quick release gas plug, changed the inch locking lever to a metric, I didn't like the smooth little knob. I changed the selector to Semi-Auto Extended Selector Switch from DSA. I installed a SA58 PARA Extreme Duty Extended Scope Mount, FAL Rail Interface Handguard Full Length, YHM bipod adapter and Harris bipod, TangoDown vertical grip, Magpul grip rails, bolt-on cheek piece from DSA, ADM Recon-X scope mount w/ Millett DMS-1. I also change the Tapco SAW grip for a FN SAW grip from DSA. I also installed a inch mag release. I hope the pictures show up. I haven't shot it yet.

Might be a little hard shipping it from Iraq to the US so you can make it look like a trinket instead of a tool

Hawk,
She looks good! I suspect You are going to like it! And it looks good with the ARas well. I really enjoy the AR15's, light, compact, accurate and easy to shoot. But some time you just want that extra horsepower downrange and the feel of a full battle rifle and the FAL is the best in my book! |

Carbines are "teh win".
This is a DSA STG-58 kit on an Imbel gear-Logo receiver. Dsa FCG, piston and safety. Original stg barrel was replaced with an Imbel on after the test fire was about 4 yards to the left at 25 yards. ARS built the gun. Shoots great.

Can I get the details on which colors and camo pattern you used for that FAL? Not that I'm thinking of using it myself or anything.... |

Here is a images of a FAL I build in 300WSM using a Winchester model 100 3 lug bolt that locks into a 3 lug barrel entension welded to a Centry casting, machined and then heat treated. The Barrel is a Winchester heavy 26in stainless target barrel. The handguard in a scratch built aluminum free floating handguard. The magazine had to be line with 16 ga sheet to keep it from buldging with the fat 300WSM cartridges. As a results, it is now single stack 8 round.

My 300WSM FAL shoots sub minute groups. I am still working on getting 100% reliable feeding of that fat cartridge though.
