Bolt face, chamber and bore are good indicators or how much use the rifle has seen... and if its been abused. A nice, clean and sharp bore face indicates little shooting. Look for obvious issues like corrosion in the bore, chamber...
If you really want to get in depth, a go.. no go gauge... For the most part, all my DSA FAL's have been GTG... I look for signs of abuse and neglect. |

A DS vs DSA serial number
The DS are usually older ones built on a forged receiver But may have been built by someone other than DSA You can call them and they will tell you if they built it Gunplummer builds good toys His build are marked ARS for Arizona Response System They do bring a premium Search gunbroker for dsa, fal a or Imbel Join falfiles and watch the market place there If you have a question about a gun for sale, ask A lot of knowledge there |

Make sure it is an SA58 and not a Voyager. Voyagers are considerable less than SA58's.

It could be a STG58 as well, they all use SA58 marked receivers. Steel hand guards, steel trigger mechanism housing (lower receiver). Nothing wrong with an STG58, most of them were built with matching numbers Austrian military rifle kits.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Make sure it is an SA58 and not a Voyager. Voyagers are considerable less than SA58's. Is the main noticeable difference here the Holland rear sight, absent carrying handle and round charging handle? Essentially that, and they don’t get the nicer duracoat finish. DSA also used whatever receiver was handy, so you could get a Type 1-3 with or without the carry handle cut. I think the bulk of the Voyagers are Type 3. They carry the same warranty as their other guns though. I have a Para Voyager that had some issues and they took care of it like anything else. I wasn’t enthused about needing to send it back, but they did a fine job making it right. |
