I thought that as well, but wanted to give the little guy a break.

You guys suck....pics, and all that. You know the rules. And the rules apply 3x re: rifles & steel.

Nice! That thing wouldn't last 2 minutes in my house before it'd get a rattle-can job hehe What's the thread pitch on that flash hider? Needs some dB reduction... FAL's are piston driven, right? How's the trigger feel? Like the ergos?

Do you reload, Adam? I think the BlueBonnets of Death would reign supreme in that there machine! ![[Linked Image from i99.photobucket.com]](http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l287/Izhmash/BLUEBONNETS_zps7cbe65b9.jpg)

The muzzle brake will be replaced with something else, but I don't know what with yet. This one is garbage. I will also shorten the barrel to 18 inches. I live very close to a reputable FAL smith.
Yes, they're piston driven.
Trigger pull is long and heavy compared to a good AR trigger. Linear and smooth.
The ergos are good, though I will replace the furniture at some point.
I wish I was set up to reload. Maybe now I have a good excuse to make the investment. Those are TTSX bullets, right?

If simply going for a flash hider...take a hard look at the Vortex. I suspect they probably make one for to fit the thread pitch of the FAL (do you know if it's 5/8x24?...I suspect not). Yes, TTSX's. Animals hate them Thus far performance, both impact and precision, validated up to 450yds in my little 18" barreled rifle.

I have no idea what the thread pitch is. Thanks for the recommendation, I'll check into it (just checked, Vortex does make one for the FAL. Brownell's has them on sale).
I remember you posting pics of that 450 yard hog. Very nice.
Dan, get us back on topic with a pic!
