We have more USG foreign weapons classes scheduled for September and need to add more FAL’s to the inventory. We already have sixteen available but each student has to have their own per the training agreement. This brings me back to where it all started…. building kits with the original barrels like it’s 2002 all over again.
Just want to give a heads up in regards to the new FAL magazines offered by Keep Shooting. I am NOT saying these are bad or defective but they don’t hold up to the heavy, heavy use of our indoor, high-volume range.
These magazines, in my opinion, are not hardened to the FN specifications. I’ve got factory surplus magazines with 100,000’s of thousands through them over the last 14 years but I can only get about 16-18 months out these.
The front “beak” portion of the magazine slowly recesses in and no longer locks in place.
Again, for the average shooter I think they’re great and will last a lifetime but there is definitely a difference between factory Belgian magazines.
