When I was a kid I used to watch the evening news with my Dad, I remember watching the news reels of the British troops in Northern Ireland carrying their L1A1's with that Looonng flash hider. Growing up I always wanted one but needless to say they were always out of reach for me, Recently though I sold off a few parts of my collection and purchased three rifles Ive been wanting to add.
When browsing Gun Broker I ran across a Preban FNFAL unfired. Yesterday I recieved the rifle and immediatly found a new favorite that was only reinforced today by a trip to the range.
The heft and feel of the rifle is second to none, some folks may not like the weight but I for one really like the feel of it. The lines of this rifle make it in my opinion one of the most attractive if all the battle rifles. it handled well functioned fawlessly , and was as accurate as a rifle of this type should be( maybe better) Ive read about some of the things folks dont like about it like the sights but I didnt notice any thing there that would make me change them, The groups will back me up on this. There was a bit of heat build up in the forearm after an intense bottle chasing session, but other than that I really am immensly impressed with the rifle. We put a tad over 200 rounds through it without the slightest hiccup.
Now I just need to get more mags,
