Heading to the range this morning to give her a go.

Andy now do ya feel a little better ? I was shooting 1968 Aussie surplus ammo, and now have the factory Imbel F/H installed.
First two mags through her had a couple of failure to feed on the first and last rounds. After that she ran flawless.

The target was 100 yards with a gun originally built in the 60-70's and the ammo was produced in 1968. [censored] I love my FAL's ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I like it, but you know I love my FAL rifle. Wish I still had all the ones I built back up and the ammo I foolishly blasted away--Hirt, Aussie, Port, SA, Argy (the good stuff). I was looking the other day and I only have about 3000 rds left. Made me sad.

Go over to the FAL Files in the Oregon section and see the results for the 6th annual MBR class. This rifle, ammo, and I won the class out of 23 shooters. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

lazi, you know my love of the 7.62x51mm. If I had to grab a FAL or an M1a (m14) FAL is it every time.

Not a bad option. Not all the Poly's had bolt issues. If it does have a bolt issue get a USGI one, and have Warbird in TX do the work (very affordable) and get a US made stock, flash hider, and use UGI mags and you are in compliance with a forged receiver M14 type rifle that will serve you well. 6,000 rds--I can make a trip down and we can burn that up in my Para if you want <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Very cool, I have always been a fan of the FAL.

I'm 100% with Jeff on this. FAL vs M1A (M14) = FAL!!!!

I currently own both, and have had many copies of each. The M1A has great accuracy potential, but I prefer the FAL overall.
