Confession time.
I only like FALs because it's the most common rifle found in my country, and 7.62 still makes up the majority of small arms stock in my country's army.
It's inferior in every way compared to other combat rifles.
Charles Cook
I agree, I just like them for the historical and aesthetic factor, same reason why many like vintage bolt actions
Samuel Perry
Undoubtedly, the rifle does indeed have an interesting aesthetic, and has a lot of history behind it.
Then again, some of its history also makes owning one a pain.
>tfw have to deal with retarded metric FAL owners thinking they can use imp components.
Easton Collins
Hey Jow Forums
Tyler Gutierrez
It's not inferior in terms of aesthetics, however
Eli Collins
sexy
Christopher Clark
sup retards
yeah i lift and own an fn fal and drive sports cars
so what
Brayden Morales
what do you think of the p99 gen 1? i feel the grip is too thin and the trigger breaks too far back.When i pull the trigger i have to compromise my grip. Also i cant hold my thumbs high as it will depress the slide release so i find it awkward to shoot.
Jason Hill
I just post on Jow Forums to laugh at poor people d e s u
Jonathan Peterson
Troy foregrip on the way, I also have a solid stock I can throw on if I want more comfort shooting

We only really phased out FALs in the mid 90s and although the military completely stoppef using them since 2000, they are still the most numerous small arm in dutch inventory. Combine that with the fact most sport shooters are boomer conscriptfags that used the FAL, and the thing can easily be regarded as the most common rifle in this country.

Just broke my c more last night reeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Ian Cruz
Just acquired a BM59 recently for $1k.
Brody Bennett
unironically the better M14.
Jonathan White
Dude I fucking love it, it fits my hand perfectly and I never want to sell it/get rid of it
Noah Long
Best raifu. Here's a glamour shot of mine.
Isaac Nelson
Nice. Here's a glamour shot of mine taken by the smith who built it.
Leo Martin
I like FALs because I built one from an Imbel kit so I have a special attachment to it. I think they're beautiful looking guns and I love how fucking meaty my FAL feels in my hands. I like the ergos better than my AR, save for the bolt release.
Ryan Edwards
borthers
James Perry
It still boogles my Boggle how a notoriously inept country that had just been picked up and flipped over like a game of Risk on a cheap card table managed to make the most obvious improvements to the Garand faster and better than the U.S.
Jaxson Thompson
are FAL G1 or StG 58 kits worth it over Imbel kits? would be building on an Imbel receiver

This is the /brg/ now.
Jack Parker
Are the Brownells AR-10s worth getting?
Brody Young
You mean the BRN-10?
All the reviews have been rather short term, so nobody has really turned up any major issues with the gun.
However, if you want to LARP an AR-10, it's the ONLY choice that doesn't require ponying for a AI-built one or digging up one of those parts kits.

What is best battlerifle of ww2?
I have seen it as fight between m1 garand and svt-40.
Noah Reyes
Garand. SVT was flimsy, less accurate, and less reliable.
Bentley Ross
Sounds about right
Only thing svt-40 had over garand was detachable mag and higher capacity but that is not much if you have only one magazine.
I remember reading how finns said that SVT-38 was not accurate enough for them.
Oliver Baker
Mags were apparently a major problem with the SVT-40 in service, as they weren't detachable in the kind of disposable sense we think of today, and loading via stripper clip was pretty common. The en-bloc on the M1 Garand is in practice just as quick and easy as a mag change (and with guns like the M-14, even easier), and any method of loading the SVT - be it the clumsy mags or the stripper clips - is going to be a bit slower.
The accuracy issues were apparently something to do with features inherent to the design that made any fix in the field impossible, and the gas system was a pain in the ass to maintain, especially when non-corrosive ammo wasn't available.
Eli Russell
it is to its own progenitor, even my foam cutout of my FN-49 is more sexy.
Angel Baker
Andrew Perry
Better than a G3, M1A, M14..
Juan Lewis
Rhodesia?
Parker Sullivan
What are some of the transitional rifles that happened in 40s and 50s that weren't like FAL or G3 and others or assault rifles?
Ljungman and rasheed are some of those but I know damn well that there is a lot more there than just ww2 rifles and sks.
I have taken some interest in those as there haven't been dedicated threads for those.
Nathan Gray
Ryder Miller
You can thank beretta
Luke Harris
FN49 is a great example. Also the MAS 49 and arguably the M14
Samuel Sanders
Most are interesting.
I might be buying M1A/M14 or ljungman in the future or m1 carbine but first I get myself vepr, colt dragoon and plinker.
I like old wood self-loaders, might be my inner fudd.
Joseph Davis
How well do Thermold plastic mags work on a FAL? Those are the only ones I could find in stock in Finland. Brownell also ships DSArms mags occasionally, but they are out of stock now. Are the thermold ones good enough, or does someone know where to find better mags that ship to Europe? I want to stock up on 20-round mags before they all get banned, or at least way harder to get.
Dominic Brown
I posted about wanting to get an M1A or M14 yesterday. I'm thinking about getting a pre-ban springfield now, 1983 manufacture date. Can those handle both 308 and 7.62x51 and are they p damn good overall? I'm in a cuck state so getting a pre ban one would let me do a bit more with it than anything newer than 1994 manufactured.
Ian Kelly
this i bought it because cold war aesthetics
i tried running some old ar10 mags through it at a match and it choked (not sure if its the random mags or random ammo) but that was the only problem ive had with it using a variety of brass 308
i was hitting 55 gallon minute of man 55 gallon drums at the last machine gun shoot from 400 yards no problem so its accurate at least
here is a transferable L1A2 kit on a metric fn made venezuelan contract receiver that is a work of art. the brake is super effective on full auto to the point of it kicks the gun almost slightly down instead of rising when shooting
Robert Johnson
>It's inferior in every way compared to other combat rifles.
If your ideal is muh high speed low drag and you spend most of your time riding in some kind of vehicle.
Saying a particular gun is "inferior" to other types isn't really a judgement of its actual capability, unless it is actually a malfunctioning piece of shit.
Andrew Bailey
Grayson Nelson
Mine works great
Justin Foster
Budget AR-10. Windham Weaponry DPMS platform. Its decent, spent less than $800 on it brand new so I'm not complaining yet. The magazine it came with sucks, and in my non-free state finding standard capacity magazines is a PITA.
Tyler Allen
holy fuck I am so jealous. cool shit
James Turner
Thanks for buying from my local gunshop
Mason Davis
Guys what the FUCK is going on.
I'll start here. Also hey guys it's been awhile, though I never posted in here regularly cuz i ain't go no battle rifle.
Where are all the battle rifles???
Budsguns and Atlantic both severely lacking in the real fuckin NATO department and I have no clue why.
Last year when I was shopping around there were PTR91s and M1As galore. Hell, even most of the FALs were on Atlantic Firearms no prob.
Now the vast majority are sold out or otherwise out of stock.... I wasn't too shocked by Atlantic's lack of stock, it was kind of expected but buds and their boomer M1As too? Fuck. Most standard M1As are gonezo surprisingly, even a lot of the higher tier ones.
Pic mildly related. Only 2 PTRs up on buds atm. Last week the PTR 91 w/ green furniture was there with
Noah Baker
Didn't buy it from a shop, had it FFL transferred from a website. Or is this some sort of meme I am not understanding?
Evan Bell
Oh and Scar17s on buds have found homes it seems. Every last one.
Every lgs I've visited in my Texas region (and another region hundreds of miles away) is lacking M14s.
The only lgs i've found that "has them" has them posted online and massively overpriced by $300.
David Nguyen
Sweet k31
Ryder Allen
I live next to Windham Weaponry
Adrian Barnes
Oh nice! What are your thoughts on them generally? Most people respond to that question "like bushmaster when they where still good", but they don't seem to be as popular as I would expect based on the prices and offerings.
Mason Wilson
DSA has folding charging handles for FALs in stock right now
Ian Rogers
Well they sure like non freefloat handguards. I've never actually gone in
Jacob Kelly
Sold out already?
Anthony Green
Every review I've seen says they work just fine.
Easton Johnson
William Bailey
built an AR10, now what is the go to brands of Ammo to test accuracy? Currently only have (((IMI))) and advises are appreciated
Caleb Wilson
I just got my first M1A. It's the Loaded version from Springfield Armory.
Grayson Thompson

Bentley Turner
Whats a good ACOG for for a .308 AR-10? Preferably with green reticle + RMR. Or just get a Elcan?
Jace Howard
>elcan
What is it 2005?
Personally I like the TA33 but it does have a small FOV. 55gr 556 and 150gr 762 are basically the same so if you find a used 556 one for cheap just get it.
ACSS is a dope reticle though, not available on TA33
Isaiah Perry
Liam Scott
Is there anywhere I can get a Type A or B bayonet for my imbel FAL? I don't really like the type C socket bayonet. DSA has a type A Israeli, but it requires the israeli barrel and doesn't work with a flash hider.
Luis James
what are aftermarket buttstock options for the ace?
Carson Hernandez
>"Lets make a new run of Galils for the goyim, but let's slap a bunch of plastic shit all over it so it looks nothing like a Galil and none of them will want to give us shekels for one"
What were they thinking?
Wyatt Davis
Where can I get wood ARM furniture? I cant find shit.
Eli Morgan
Juan Price
They're fucking yuge which is why I said TA33
Caleb Walker
oke
Christopher Bennett
From aimsurplus? Either way - please keep us updated! I really like the look of those and hope they shoot as good as they look.... which isn't normally the case with Italian guns.
Henry Taylor
On the topic of FALs - how are the Hesse receivers?
Jaxon Flores
garbage - avoid at all costs
Noah Hughes
I want a good fal but dont want to build it myself. How are DSA israeli fals? They fine?
Andrew Hill
I just want an unholy abomination like this.
Gavin Nelson
L2A1's are sex.
Ryan Martinez
>better than a G3
Dream on
Joseph Price
the FAL is superior to the G3 with better ergos, better sights, muh last round hold open, better take down and better control layout than on the G3.
Jacob White
That's why I'm building an arm 308. Ace is an abomination. I'm having trigger pack concerns as to what to use but I'm focusing on the barrel first
Landon Wood
Just ugly
Your digits won't save you
Parker Rodriguez
>Building a 308 galil
I remember a little while back some annon bought a bunch of really heavily rusty / corroded barrels for like $800.00 and though he can save them w/ electrolysis?
These things were utterly fucked. They look like they were on the bottom of the ocean for 40 years bad
One of the funniest posts I've seen in a long time
Luke Cox
They're not Italian guns. They're made in the U.S. with U.S. receivers and barrels and a limited number of surplus parts.
Joshua Cruz
Kek once the barrels are fucked there done.
Nah I'm turning down and chambering a new barrel from a blank. Tortort is taking forever to ship and pacific tool and gauge has a 4 fucking week wait on 308 gauges and never notified me then wants to charge me 15% restocking fee for an item that does not exist yet.
Evan Rivera
Top jewery right there
Caleb Phillips
>fucking week wait on 308 gauges and never notified me then wants to charge me 15% restocking fee for an item that does not exist yet.
God damn.
Camden Wood
I'm not sure what to do because I spent 250 bucks on a set of reams and gauges and they'll calculate the restocking fee from the net total. So just about half of the price of the gauges will be "restocking fee". Don't buy your gauges from those merchants
Easton Hughes
fill out a BBB complaint or something, that's a bunch of bullshit bro. Burn them
Hudson Barnes
Battle rifles are trash. Cumbersome, awkward, bad sights, terrible mounts, awful accuracy, less ability to carry tons of ammo. Trash. Garbage.
Henry Smith
I'm going to attempt to call them tomorrow. I've only been contacting them by email. I'll escalate accordingly if need be. A teammate of mine worked for them over the summer and had relatives there. I might try to reach out to him
Asher Nelson
Ugly? I think they look sweet
Camden Watson
>Cumbersome, awkward, bad sights
describes your terrible genes
>terrible mounts, awful accuracy
describes how you fuck
Isaiah James
Damn dude how well does your family know the law? Lmao
308 should be fine if you're not shooting real hot hunting loads
Anthony Walker
Congrats user, post pics
Josiah Turner
Handguard is weird to me
Jose Price
If only they made a stamped version.
