Posted this over on "the Files".
Very pleased. Distressing of the receiver and barrel in very nice correspondence to the rest of the kit. And pretty much all the same tone of grey. The grey phosphorous Izzy mags I have all look like they were issued for this rifle. As expected the right side engraving does not have near the detail or legibility of an original but I was glad to have the lettering done nonetheless. Shipping $25. Comes in a generic Plano plastic rifle case with a cheap black web sling. From pics I've seen I am far happier with this than an Officers' Grade. In fact the detail that was taken to make this look like an authentic Battlefield pick up would almost have me willing to spend more on a Soldier Grade. I chose not to have a muzzle device. This thing will lay nicely next to my grey parked Letterkenny Garand at the range. Seriously this rifle looks like it was recently discovered preserved in the depths of some cave in the middle of the Sinai.

That stock battlefield engraving is awesome.
I think the "soldier grade" rifles are some of the neatest things anyone has made lately. |

Completely agree. If you're going to get a milsurp kit with milsurp stock and wood why would you have everything polished and fresh duracoated as though it was brand new.
The trench art is a plus. I've got some Yugo builds that have some trenchart from the Serbian conflict of the 90s. I consider it a privilege. |

I picked up my officer grade this past Friday. It looks great! It was ordered on January 23.
The only issue that I have now is that I keep looking at the pictures that have been posted of the enlisted version and I want one of those as well. |

Why can’t they offer a soldier grade with a threaded barrel and muzzle device?

I ordered mine at the end of december and received it mid may. Officers grade, put a few rounds through it, it fed ok when gas was adjusted right. It shot way low, I've either got to grind down the front site or replace it, it is screwed in as far as it goes. Wood is definitely well used but it also included plastic furniture set.

So the quality on these are really high? I was told to avoid DSA due to cast receivers... which these are... correct? Guess they're done well overall so no real worries?

I'm still waiting on my officer grade order from 2/17. Last time I called 3 weeks ago they said there were some delays while they got another shipment of barrels from their supplier. However, they said they had finally got those and mine was in the process of being built. So hopefully, I'll get it it sometime soon. They really should change the estimated wait time on their order page, doesn't seem accurate at all from what I've seen. At least they don't charge in advance before shipping, and I've got other FAL's to enjoy in the mean time while I'm waiting.
I'm also waiting on them to get the receivers back in. I bought a second kit from Apex, so I need something to build that one with. |

My Feb 15 Officer-grade arrived at my FFL yesterday.
Absolutely beautiful rifle. Very much worth the wait. Compared to my 18" Para Voyager, the trigger is a lot crisper and the magazine well fits a wider variety of magazines better. Action is smooth. It handles nicely for being such a huge musket. DSA really did a great job on these. Potato pic with bad lighting... Pretty much like all my EE ad posts.
I really like the white color fill some of you have done. I'll have to give that a shot. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
What’s the difference between a standard FAL and a Israeli fal? The Israeli versions had different handguards, different safety / selector, some versions had the forward assist cocking handle. As has also been stated, some had bare muzzle, and some had flash suppressors. The barrel had different threads, and the stocks had different but plates as I recall. The sights were also different, and had a higher line of sight too, I believe. |

I realize I'm resurrecting an old thread, but can anyone tell me what the each version of this rifle originally sold for?
How has the accuracy and function been? |

$1600 for officers grade. Accuracy on mine is atrocious (6 MOA). Bore scope in barrel looks terrible and headspace is way long. DSA customer service told me this was acceptable and within spec (5 to 7 MOA) and that I should consider a trigger job to improve the accuracy. I would use caution in picking up a used one. You may be buying one as terrible as mine is. Function has been 100%, however.... I love the looks of those rifles. |

I know where there are 9. Rifle Gear in Plano Texas ordered 10 last year and only received them last week. I had been looking for one of these as well. I think DSA is only filling orders that had previously been placed. They are at the bottom of the barrel. I had them look thru half of the guns they had received (all Officer Grade). The wood on the ones they received is much darker than most pictured here and that I have seen elsewhere. At first I didn't like it, but it kinda grew on me. I did get one. Their price is $1699. DSA also seems to be totally out of the Israeli metal mags as all of the ones that Rifle Gear received came with Moses mags. Oh well, I can find some Izzy FAL mags.
Here's the one I bought yesterday. I know that Rifle Gear has a website so maybe they will ship?

Thank you for the heads up on where to find some more of these rifles. I hope DSA hasn't run out of parts kits and we will see more in the future.

I’m glad to hear they are still filling orders. I have one on back order at Brownells from October. I’ve considered ordering one elsewhere as I’m concerned I’ll never see it.

They seem to sell quick. I was back in RIflegear this past weekend and they didn't have one on their shelves anymore and they show out of stock on their website. I wish they'd get some soldier grades in as I wouldn't mind having one of those too.
