How well dose the the FAL handle with a suppressor? I would like to run a suppressor full time on my FAL. Let me know what you guys think.

Quoted:
Will a suppressor over gas my system. yes, big time. when you open up the gas adjuster to vent the extra gas it will still be over gassed a little (if gun is in spec to begin with) and you will have all the extra noise associated with the big gas bleed off. kind of defeats the purpose of a silencer. but it is still really cool

I emailed DSA about running a can on a FAL a while back too. here is what they said.
–––––––––– Forwarded message –––––––––– From: DSA Technical Questions <[email protected]> Date: 2008/10/3 Subject: RE: Technical Question Hello, Yes, the Belgian Short flash hider is re-moveable. Remember that the thread pattern is 9/16 x 24 LEFT hand thread. The best thing to do is to contact Gemtech or Advanced Armament. Both of those companies produce excellent suppressors. All you need to do is tell them that you have a 9/16 x 24 LEFT hand thread, and they can made the back plate of the can in that thread pattern. If you are going to shoot a can on your rifle, I would advise getting several extra gas piston springs. Using a suppressor on your rifle cooks that spring pretty bad, and they need to be replaced after about 200 rounds if you shoot the rifle hard. If you call Gemtech ask to speak with Kel, if you call Advanced Armament ask for Freddy. Best Wishes, DSA |

Interesting.
I've ran a fair amount more than 200 rounds through mine without replacing the gas piston spring. This is on a short gas system Para. I have replaced it recently and I'm sure the suppressor had a hand in the need but the rifle also had several thousand rounds in her at the time and that's while it was mine. No idea how many were shoot through it by the previous owner. It is a cheap and easy to replace (and check) part so having several on hand isn't a bad thing. Worth the price in my book. 
Note: I've also taken to using a shok-buff thingy for the carrier as a just-in-case measure. Not sure if it makes a difference but it doesn't hurt the functionality and gives me peace of mind. |
