Another example of ARS perfection.
Mark built an L1A1 for me and it was wonderful as well. |

These are my two. Both Century guns, I had good luck with the top one. Bottom one still has some kinks to iron out, and needs an aperture for the rear sight; for some reason it was missing when I bought it and I have never got around to getting one. |

Brad at Gunthings has the sight slider, detent, and spring. The top one needs an SLR flash hider.

The first two are the first FAL's I had. Sold them both, and I regretted selling the unpainted one, so I overcompensated by buying the DSA Para and building the other four within the last couple of years.
Of the five, the one on the left is a Portuguese m962 clone, the rest are Rhodesian R1 clones.

H&R came up with something similar for triangular handguards that got support from a metal band which wrapped around the outside. This one works fine on all vent holes on a set of SA handguards that I have on another rifle, but it required a bit of file work to fit where I have it on these IMBEL handguards. Bipod-cut handguards also don't quite fit right and it definitely won't fit through the front hole at all. I strongly prefer this method of mounting over the barrel mount for carrying, tactical sling use, and, of course, for slinging up to support the rifle. I need to get a repro made so I can take it off and put it away given how rare it is. A repro with a QD swivel cup at the bottom would be even better. I'll post a picture of it by itself later. In the meantime, my rifle got a bit dirty playing in the mud at Cola Warrior last month:

Love it man, did some searching around looks like impact weapons components makes a qd that could install on FAL handguards. The only downfall would be the 1/2 inch hole needed to fit the qd but it fits flush and looks nice.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Cone5:
I found nothing like that anywhere that’s not a bad design though. It just threads together? And you're not going to find anything like that. I'm shocked I found this one and that no one snagged it before I had the funds in hand. I literally had only seen the one presumably owned by Peter Wells of the South African Arms Collectors Association. He's posted a single picture on the FAL Files and the now-defunct SAAACA site. I've tried in vain to search for any other images of the swivel, or of the DMR R1s still in service fitted with it. Can't find pictures of either. No other info on it besides what Wells posted. This is only the second one I've ever heard of in private hands, and the only one in the U.S., which is part of why I want a replica, so that I can put this one away as it's a collectible. The only things similar are the H&R devices for their T-48 rifles, which are also very, very rare, and I'm not sure that any exist outside of the few H&R rifles or parts kits that are in private hands. The more typical FN T-48 handguards made for that contract usually have something like this, and the assembly looks very similar, but with the plate replaced by the stock itself, which is a one-piece type. Also rare and people want them for T-48 clones. |

Just bought my first-ever FAL. It was always on my list, but something else always popped up first .....
Here she is: Built a few years ago by Southeast Arms on an Enterprise receiver that took a lot of tweaking to become reliable. The barrel is 11" and has a QD muzzle brake for the stainless steel suppressor, also built by SEA. The gas system is modified to have both suppressed and unsuppressed settings as well as "off." With the can on it, it is very quiet and controllable (though not quite hearing-safe indoors). Without the can, it clears all the shooting lanes to either side! Now to get the two Form 4 stamps (SBR and the suppressor) ... while waiting, gonna have the can ceracoted to match the light gray. And figure out what optics might work best. And think about a para stock .... man, this has been a long time coming!

Springfield Armory SAR-48, built in Brazil by Imbel.
A pawn shop find in amazing condition considering it was imported in the late 80's. Very low round count apparently with minimal internal wear. It had to come home with me and I wasn't even shopping for an FAL. The fit and finish on this Imbel built FAL is nicer than any FN built FAL I've seen. Shoots great too, such a beast !!
