well here is a pic of my fal I set up as a nice practical rifle for medium range...
Started life as a ex grade SA kit, with a DSA type II reciever and DSA extreme duty top cover. I cut down the barrel to para length, target crowned it and threaded it, to accept the belgian flashider. Eotech 552 optic with a MUM pvs-14 nv behind it. As soon as my cheekpad and monoloc come in, it will be sporting a TA01NSN ACOG with the pvs-14 behind it...
Enjoy, I know I do!!
Nice, that is more my style there.
Picked up this beauty locally. It's used DSA SA58. It was clean and in excellent condition. Probably overpaid at $1300 but I had to have it... and you know how it goes when you have to have something. What is unique about this weapon:
1) A2 flash suppressor
2) No carry handle
3) No front sling mount
4) Para stock (ok this is not unique but still a little different)
Found out after the fact that this is a metric one (thanks to your guy's help). Also thanks to everyone for that interordinance.com link to get those 10 mags.
I can't afford a real ACOG yet so I bought a 1x ACOG laser dot knock-off from Ebay, and bought a DSa mount... both on the way.
Nice rifle.
The only time you ovrpay is when you are not happy with what you got for what you paid, screw everyone else.
I second that.
If your happy, who cares what others think. It's your rifle.
Begin ranting...
Hell, that might be why the Devorce rate is so high. Everybody is so busy listening to other people tell them how there marriage should be, or how they should dress, or how they should look, or how they should feel. If your wife is not perfect... who cares, as long as she makes you happy. If you like your rifle, great, good for you. Be happy with your equipment. Don't let someone else make you think less of it. If the Cheap ACOG look-O-like works, then it was a good deal. I get a little pissed when I go to the range with my firearms and the guy in the next booth makes a comment about my $29.oo Red Dot sight. "What? didn't want to spend $350.oo for a real Aim Point ML2 or a real E.O. Tech ?". Stupid morons should be happy that one more Pro-gun citizen is on the range practising with a useful tool, and not sitting at home watching, The VIEW or OPRAH.
Rant Off...
Awesome thread! Just want to add mine for the record, even though I already posted it in its own thread:
FAL's and AR's...they're like my children.
That's pretty much as badass as you can make a FAL. I like it!
Just took it out today for it's maiden voyage. Hitting the 200 yard gong offhand was ridiculously easy.
