schultze13 354 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Are these FALs? http://www.nytimes.c...de-show.html#32 look small/short... It does look small and the mag is longer than usual I have heard of a FAL in .223 but never thought it was mass produced but it had a smaller reicever someone who knows FAL's better than me could answer that question.

t3mac21 1 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Never imagined the Libyans would have/use them. Lybia has aquired all sorts of small arms and they've used them to arm terrorists. Lots of countries traded oil for guns. They aquired a lot of FALs from FN in 1955 I wouldn't be surprised to see inch pattern british L1A1's (FALs) there either Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's a belgian FAL, and the left is obviously an AK. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jpanzer 1,265 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 (edited) SOPMOD, did you paint the furniture on that FAL yourself, or is it molded in that color? Edited March 10, 2011 by Jpanzer Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SOPMOD 254 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 SOPMOD, did you paint the furniture on that FAL yourself, or is it molded in that color? That one isn't mine but that looks EXACTLY like my OD Green furniture after a quick bead blasting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jpanzer 1,265 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Been thinking about switching the OD on my STG 58. Can't find a molded green straight backed STG stock anywhere.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jmzzl 146 Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 I'd like to point out that for me it seems, pictures are being added, and the numbers of the pictures or changing or something. There's not even a rifle in the picture. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
