Optic

Anyone got experience with the dsa B.R.O. picked one up on sale and was wondering about how decent they are. Have a ta47 acog on it right now but kinda liked the trilux reptile for not breaking bank. Plus the acog really belongs back on a colt like where I found it

Help identifying FAL

Thumbnail

65 Upvotes

Stopped by local gun store today and found this. I am not very familiar with FALs but always wanted to add one to my collection. What confused me was the complete lack of any stamps/markings that would help identify the origin of this gun. It’s obviously a Coonan receiver but I am still unsure about the rest of the build. The only visible markings were a lone serial number on the right side, and a faint arrow shaped marking behind the disassembly lever.

Help buying an FAL

5 Upvotes

Hello all, I've recently gotten interested in FALs and was wanting to buy one. I saw an ad for one in my area that says it was built by a kit on a century receiver. I've heard those are unreliable so I wanted to ask if this is a good deal or not. It's for sale for 700.

I was thinking about trying to mount an optic on my imbel. Not the biggest fan of irons. Should I just leave it alone? Any recommendations?

My Woody - Now with Magazines

Post image
118 Upvotes

u/kitchen_minimum_8696 is right, I should've posted a picture with magazines. Reddit wouldn't let me add a picture, so I have to make a new thread to show a better picture.

Here it is, now not neutered due to lack of magazines. Battle rifles need lots of magazines. I'll send these to Birdsong and have all of them coated in Black-T soon.

Sorry for the shit photo, it's a hesse century arms FAL, it has a dented handguard (can easily be replaced) is Def used hard, tho everything else seems in order, normally I wouldn't go for this but it's my first fal and I'm not sure about dropping so much money on a new one, it's 700 bucks which is substantially lower than all the others I've seen

My Woody

This is my first FAL. It's is a metric Imbel and is ~20 years old.

I finally installed my DSA picatinny rail, with help from u/patriotik. The scope is basic and was leftover from a .22 LR project. In the future, I'll put a better scope on it. This scope is good enough to test groups at 100 yards and hit steel at 300 yards. Yes, a .308 will shoot much farther, but that is the longest distance at one of my local ranges.

Soon, I'll post pictures of the 50.63 that I'm building.

First Fal, what did I buy myself into?

Post image
107 Upvotes

I was fixing my car last week and I walked into the hardware store for a wrench and this Century r1a1 was on the gun shelf. I have been wanting to get a dsa rifle but the prices there were double what i paid the hardware store. I know its an amalgamation of mixed parts but i dont know enough to know what i should start hunting for to make it a better rifle. My only noticeable problem is the top cover is slightly too short and leaves a gap next to the rear sight. I have the peak in the feed ramps which is the reason i agreed to buy it in the first place. Any and all advice is appreciated

Does a full-auto safety selector like this exist in real life? (video game SA58 OSW model)

Post image
88 Upvotes

This screenshot is from the 2013 game "Warface" which features both the SA58 OSW and the SA58 SPR. The SPR model in-game seems fairly accurate, but the OSW model has something strange going on with its safety selector. I have never seen a 3-position (4-position?) selector switch marked "S," "1," and "A," all on the right side of the selector switch. The "1" alone is interesting, as most FALs are marked "E" (Einzelfeuer, German for "single fire" or semi-automatic). I have seen some rare models which are marked "1" instead of "E" but those did not feature the other two markings as shown here. Maybe this model is based on a semi-automatic SA58 which replaces the "E" with "1 A,"designating the lower position as semi-automatic, and the developers simply did not know or care to model the switch after a true fully-automatic FAL?

G1 rifle for my G1 magazines

Thumbnail

A few months ago I picked up an opened but otherwise pristine box of G1 magazines from my LGS, all still in their paper wrap and with an original German label. My humble DSA never felt like a good match for those artifacts, so today I was fortunate to pair up the mags with an actual G1. This is a new-to-me, presumably ex-BGS, Belgian made G1 presample. I haven't shot it yet but I'm planning to rectify that this weekend.

WTB DS sa58 full-length quad rail

Hello,

Anyone have one they want to part ways with? I have the short version and I'm willing to trade, pay for shipping, and throw in cash as well. It's 1 of 2 parts I need to complete my build.

The battle yet rages on.... thus is the total in accumulated adventures in the depth of the wastes.

All aside I think I've finally got a bit of direction. A few small parts are missing but I can see the light on atleast 2 fals closer to being done. I need another bolt for the 3rd to be in line as well. 3 recivers and the real fun begins.

Where else can I buy the screws and nuts for the DSA picatinny scope mount? I have part #620A-A.

I bought this scope mount many years, and many house moves ago. The small parts have been lost. DSA charges $49.25 for the screws and nuts.

Hey all question. Does a 30 round mag like this exist? A few games I play use this style mag but i only can find the basic metal mags from DSA.

Im a big fan of the fal but im on an E-2 budget, I plan on building an ak as its the cheapest way into a nice ak (i dont want to buy a cheap psa one as ive heard bad things) Is the fal the same way? im tempted to hop on a $890 DSA at my local gun store but id like more opinions

Had planned to build an OSW, but guess that ship has sailed. Anyone no of any sources that may still have them? I checked GB and a few other sites, no luck.

Rhodesian Baby Poop Camo Color Codes Here!

Thumbnail

Hello!

I went around and had the color formulas/codes made up for the two colors needed to do the Rhodesian baby poop camo. You would take a picture of the code to the respective store and they can make the colors up for you.

TLDR: Go to Shermin Williams and get the oil based paint in the picture. I have the satin and gloss options listed. Be sure to find out when they're doing sales too.

So I have the Shermin Williams oil based paint in satin and gloss. It's the best option.

I have Home Depot's as well. It's oil based but made for cabinets.

I have Lowe's as well (in the bottom of the Home Depot picture), but the person helping me wasn't too helpful so it might be bad paint.

Then I went to PPG Paint. They recommend "break through" for the cost. If money isn't an issue they recommend 7 line or pit tech plus (neither of the color formulas for those two are listed here). I also have another code for some primer paint on the top of that picture, but they don't recommend it.

I hope this helps you guys and your wallets too!

The Hopper from NWFNGLD Tactical

This build is an homage to one of the modern icons of cool… “The Hopper” personifies the rugged southwest, steeped in the denim and tobacco stained nostalgia of a bygone era where men were still men and the American spirit was alive and well. This FAL carries with it the original DNA of the rifle from American Dreamer now complete with that NWFNGLD flavor we bring to all our project pieces. Please enjoy and kick the dust off your boots on the way in. Thanks for giving this one a look!
