Found the photo album from the old FAL Files thread...

Enjoy.

The MBR that beat the M14.  I wonder how long the T48 would have lasted as the US MBR.

I like the one with the relieved grip angle.
Did I just kill another thread?

Probably the same as the M14. We would have seen US FAL DMRs in Afghanistan just like we saw DMR M14s there.

Both rifles are pretty much equivalent as far as reliability and durability. Both are still in service in a limited capacity around the world.


Inspired somewhat by the T-48, my mutt FAL build on a 2003 era Dan Coonan receiver, with mostly Steyr, Imbel and DSA parts, and Ironwood furniture.

Thanks for finding that. Such a fantastic resource.

Thanks for sharing OP.  Those are neat rifles, especially the H&R manufactured ones.  One question, why are all the rifles so dry?  I didn't notice a hint of oil on any moving part or anywhere else.
