| Hey guys, I have a DSA FAL that I want to scope. I'm looking for a good quality mount. So far my choices are DSA's mount, an A.R.M.S. mount, or a GG&G mount. I've searched here,but hsve come up dry. Does anyone have feedback on the above or have an opinion on another mount? Thanks. |
| I use an ARMS mount. I used to have the DSA mount, but I didn't like that it really can't be taken off for cleaning. You have to use locktite on the screws otherwise they shoot loose, and it's bigger/bulkier than the ARMS mount. I didn't even know GG&G made a FAL mount. |
| I have had several versions of the DSA mounts and have love them all. I have never seen scratches on my receiver from using them. I have seen finish wear underneath the mount when I switch from one version to another. I'm able to clean my rifle without removing the mount. |
Mine both shot loose. I switched to hex-heads for my scoped rifle and it has never come lose since that. I am waiting for another shipment to replace the screws on my new carbine too. |

I have a blue-glued chezoid Tapco early model, and since it is easy to wipe inside the rec, it has not been off for 5 years. Whatever you get, take care to set the screws for a true/plumb cover so your 100yd zero does not drift farther out. Whatever cover, consider the ARMS weaver/stanag adaptor base for a Hensoldt. |
I would go locktite just to be on the safe side. Those screws are like a $1 each from DSA. So if you lose one that's about $5 (if you count shipping)  The DSA mount does mar the finish on the receiver, but hell it's a battle rifle, your suppose to have a couple of blemishes here and there. Also why do you need to take it off for cleaning? Just clean around it. I installed mine about 2 years ago and have yet to take it off. |
I didn't know that GG7G made a scope mount for the FAL and I cant seem to find it on there web site. do you have a link? |
I like either a quality 1X optic or something relatively low power. I see some rigs with these 4-16X scopes on them and I'm sure they are going to lead to disappointment but, but maybe some will get lucky. I positively LOVE my EOTech on the carbine though. |
What is the model number of the ARMS mount. I could not find it on their website? |
#3 (standard) #4 (para) |
