You know the FAL discussions thread doesn't have a lot of tacked threads. this might make a good one. I bet I could find some more "FAL/L1A1 action" pics to post.

I like the VFG on his FAL.  My FAL parts are all stamped RA and some of the parts have a Z stamped over the R. Rhodesia to Zimbabwe I guess it is. |

I like  G3 with a PSG90 Stock (look closer at the above picture). The reason I say this it has an adjustable butt stock just like this -

Hmmm nice! But not a FAL.... Back on topic.... A Bolivian army soldier patrols a road as the Bolivian government attempted to regain control of the Andean roads, blocked by indigenous peasants.  Bolivian army troops armed with FN-FAL rifles stand guard at the presidential home in La Paz, Bolivia on Monday, October 13, 2003.  |

_DR,
Fifth pic in "more Brazilian" post, check the magazine. That is an MD-2, maybe 3, not positive. Definitely 5.56 not 7.62. Still a FAL, sorta, though. The Saudi soldier in the foreground, couple of posts above, is holding a G3. |

Fixed. On the Brazilian should have looked the mag and not the handguards, the Saudi G3 was iffy, it was late! Thanks |

The desert environments can be very hostile. I'm sure those uniforms are developed for maximum functionality in a desert environment. Just my best guess though. They do look kind of like mariachis, though! |

These are all really nice photos. I especially love the Rhodesian photos. In 6th grade, a class mate buddy from Rhodesia told me about his dad fighting against the rebels. I didnt have a clue at the time, but I remember him saying his dad ordered his men to mow down a herd of cattle, once they did, they found dead rebels hidden in alongside the cattle trying to sneak up on them. Other than that, I dont remember much else.

Nice ones! Thats another reason I bought one of those R1 kits that Amunitionstore.com was selling. So I could have the real deal which had been there and done that. Mine also came without carry handle and front sling swivel. I read somewhere (don't know if its true or not) , that the Rhodesians removed those so that their soldiers had to carry the FAL at the ready at all times. Also, my para lower has its sling swivel ground off.

Hey, did you guys see the Bolivian guard on the road in one of DR's posts? Check out the charging handle on his FAL. What's up with the Inch folding handle on what appears to be a metric rifle? Did the monkeys at Century get ahold of his??

It's probably a para. Short barrel, folding cocking handle, you can't see the stock, but it could be a folder. My guess is a para. |

I found it, However the orginal source describes it as an ANZAC patrol, so doesn't say if it Australian or New Zealand Soliders. [ANZAC = Australian and New Zealand Army Corps] [A WWI term, but used generically when NZ and AUST operate together] |

Belgium began using the FAL in 1954 w/ models designated the M1 (14,500 contract). In 1960 they ordered the M2: it looked a good bit like an FAL-Canada. They also used the M3, a shorty version of the 50-63 Para. They phosphate (park) and paint their rifles a distinctive grey-green.

Yes, the Brits still wear shorts at least til the weather cooled off here in Iraq. Some of us still pick up the FAL instead of our M4s. I carry mine several times a week over here, just not out on patrol since I only have 3 mags here (34 more back home however). Ummm, maybe I will take it with me tomorrow. CD |
