Nice Looking FAL - almost looks like an STG with the long brake in the front. Give us the 'birth' specs. I love my FAL's almost as much as my AK's.

Nice rifle Jicky
Mine used to look just like that, then I modified it a little. FALs are a blast to shoot!

You are where I want to be in a few months; I'm trying to get the War Department to authorize the expenditure of funds to purchase me a FAL.

Nice rifle, oh, and don't go modeling for us, PLEASE!!!!!

I thought it would make the rifle look that much better if I were to hold it....

Real nice gun!! I love my Century L1A1.
More 20 rounders for it should be here on monday.

Here is a pic of mine

I put the Romanian together last night too... Came out great!! looks like a worn battlefield pickup gun.
I havent shot it yet, but it cycles smoothly and feels great with the wood vertical front grip.

Sweet gun James!!

whatever you do, dont feed it indian ammo. I got some before I knew it was bad stuff, and what I got was the 1992 non tar sealed "decent" stuff. I had at least two primer faliures the last time I went shooting and now have some nasty gas cutting on my bolt face.

Congrats Jicky,nice STG!+1 on not using Indian ammo.I've shot it through my South African R1,L1A1 and Portuguese G3 without anything worse then an occasional FTF but its dirty and not very accurate.I like the South African,Port,British,Austrian and of course Lake City.You'll love everything about the FAL,parts are plentiful and the mags are inexpensive.I'll open a Grolsh in your honor in a couple hours!

edited to add;Thanks for not modeling your underoos!

Good lookin iron Jicky. I don't own a FAL but once one of your FAL brothers was kind enough to have me shoot his. It had a balance like no other, a beautiful thing to shoot,

Very nice!!

It's always good to diversify your collection!

Stock up on mags while they are plentiful!!

Nice looking gun ya got there! Good call on getting the DSA. Those cheap FAL's usually just end up being a headache.....

OK...no picture of me, I don't want all of your wives to leave you.....but here is my new toy I just picked up this am.... A RockOla M1 carbine! ....don't know much about them but I have always wanted one! I am helping settle my father's best friend's estate, and this was in there (with about 30 other guns). The wife was going to have them destroyed....I am helping her sell them off.

..me likey...

Lookin' damn good Jicky, glad you're happy with it and it got there safe and sound.

Particulars on the rifle:

DSA StG-58A, which is built up from excellent to new Austrian StG-58 parts on a new DSA forged receiver. The receiver is a Type II, with the reinforcement towards the rear of the receiver. The handguards are an upgrade from the Steyr sheet metal to the DSA Belgian style synthetics. While the sheet metal handguards are "correct", they get almost unbearably hot after two magazines.

Jicky's is a new production no-ban rifle with the original Steyr "Stoll" 4 prong flash suppressor/rifle grenade launcher.

US parts on Jicky's rifle:

Upper receiver
Handguard
Pistol Grip
Hammer
Trigger
Sear
Cocking handle

I have a post ban DSA-StG-58A that I have yet to unban. All I've done to it is put one of the DSA new/unissued G1 walnut buttstocks on it, which would be "correct" for an earlier StG-58. The walnut G1 stocks don't have rubber buttpads, they have steel buttplates, but I'm about Jicky's size and it fits me great, mainly because it has more drop to the stock and I can get a better cheek weld.

Here are some older, really shitty pics of my DSA.

Tammy with a rifle just like Jicky's but with the original steel handguards.

Jeep, that's a beauty of a Carbine man.

Also wanted to say thanks to Kyarguy for handling the receiving end of the transfer.

My father was Royal Air Force and while we were in Germany as a family we got invited to family day at the Sennelager Ranges....I got to fire a FAL and a GPMG.....what a day for a young teenager

Everyone needs,at least,one FAL!

Those steel hand guards are nice, but get really hot really fast. I swapped mine out for some of the look alike plastic ones. Much better to shoot with.

Posted: 8/6/2005 6:22:36 PM EDT

[#24]

Excellent!!!

My Imbels shoot the same on SA/Port/Aussie. If you find a Hensoldt 4x scope separate from the claw mount, and under $150, jump and add an ARMS weaver stang adaptor onto a weaver dustcover scope mount. It'll all line up fine, stable, enjoy a bullet drop comp dial for 1-600...

Thank's really to ALL you guy's..I sure have come to enjoy this board, it's a kick and I have learned alot about firearms from Team Member's and Member's alike.....
We are pretty lucky to have the Mod's we do also...( not trying to brown nose at all but this side does kick ass

)

KYarguy I have shot her... OHHH YESSS.. I havent really got a chance to site it in at distance but I've busted some Grolsh bottles about 50 yard's (Johno)

...

Again thank's to all you Darksider's....

I hope it was'nt the big Grolsh bottles with the resealable top!

I knew you'd like it,hell,who would'nt like shooting an FAL.I love the"Old World"craftsmanship and design,holding an FAL and working the action gives me a woody!

I'm heading out to the safe now to fondle mine.

Nice shooting Iron! FAL's are sweet!

I got my first one about 6 months ago. It is a FN FAL .308 match with sear cut. Like new, but not for long!

If you can still find it, get the Australian military surplus ammo. I bought a case because it is starting to dry up.

[#29]

Great looking rifle, Jicky. You gotta love the DSAs. I would post a pic of my Imbel, but its embarassed to be seen with the thumbhole stock.

When I get mine finished you and me and KYARGUY will have to take them all out one day. Three FALs makes for a whole lot of whup ass.

Yeah I've gotta start rounding up mag's and ammo for this thing now..I thought after AK's and then AR's I was cured but as we can all see I have relapsed.

Triburst you're on.. If all goes as planed I'll have a nice little 100 yard range built this fall...

My wife asks aften when will it ever end????HeeHeeHeeee!!!
