[ARCHIVED THREAD] - DSA FAL RIS system

Posted: 10/28/2003 9:51:17 PM EDT

Hey, I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this peice of equiptment.

I am picking up an ORF FAL carbine and would like to add some accessories to the rifle. I figure, instead of purchasing a DSA scope mount reciever cover, I would simply purchase their RAS, mount my red dot there, and add a vertical foregrip and possibly a surefire.

I however do not know if the RIS is sturdy enough to allow mounting optics. Does it have some sort of locking mechanism like the KAC M4 RAS?

Thanks,
Scott

You should really ask this question at Falfiles.com their are 1000's of knowledgable members. just my .02

I bought a mount from tapco and mounted on my ORF carbine and dont have any problems what so ever.

I tried a while back, ran a search and didnt turn anything up...so i figured I would ask here.

I have a tapco mount, the only problem is that the metal is very soft and spent shell casings have turned it into a pretty ugly dented peice.

DSA sells a modified version of their scope mount which allows a relatively low mounting of an ACOG.
While expensive, so is the RIS. And the ACOG is a far better sight for a carbine than any red dot I can think of. With DSA's composite handguards, there is no pressing need for a forward vertical handgrip, IMHO.
A short section of Pic rail can be bolted to the handguard, and the Surefire attached there via a Fobus detachable Surefire mount.
Just a suggestion.

Eh, I like my red dots. ACOG's are a bit out of my college student budget, and I already have the red-dot I would like to mount.

I understand. Like I said, just a suggestion.
