      Eu achei interessante essa idéia de um FAL em 5.56x45...mas só não gostei desse carregador nele(não combina muito com a arma)... já que tantos pelo mundo reclamavam que o FAL 7.62x51 tem um recuo forte(como disseram em um documentário:"dá coices como uma mula")...mas resumindo tudo,eu presumo que essa versão foi feita só com a intenção de diminuir o recuo dos disparos

    Here is my 2 cents. We have one. A fixed stock conversion.
    1. It seems lighter and handier than the 7.62 version. But I’ve never checked. I imagine because of a skinner barrel?
    2. It’s a barrel of monkeys fun to shoot. Imagine a FAL you can easily put 500 rounds through in an afternoon of running and gunning.
    3. In no way does this compete with an AR. Less so a modern one. So don’t buy it expecting that!
    4. Then why buy it? See #2. Just an awesomely fun gun.
    5. Ours is very reliable. We even have the gas set to feed wolf 55g steel case. So you CAN run the cheap stuff in it.

    This gun was the start of the development of a native assault rifle by imbel. After several years of evaluation by the Brazilian army the MD97 was deemed unfit for the necessities of the army. So in 2010 imbel launched the IA2 program to replace all FAL rifles. The IA2 is a modern assault rifle chambered in 5.56 and 7.62 and is currently replacing the FAL in all units of the Brazilian army. This article shows the project and the gun in more detail. www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2017/05/17/imbel-5-56x45mm-ia2-riflecarbine-development-status-report/amp/

Dave told me that the shipment was having all kinds of difficulty clearing customs and that Springfield gave up on their future manufacture. He bought the entire lot at a discount and managed to work out the problems and take delivery. I bought a pristine British parts set for the receiver. Prior to assembly I contacted Springfield and inquired about assembly. They said OK and I drove the 150 miles to Genesco to drop off every thing I had. I had it parkerized instead of paint and picked it up 10 days later. When I got home I found the stock wasn't attached (for legal and tax reasons) but the assembly tool was included.

    You’re absolutely right another thing to add on the practicability is that it takes an A.R. 15 magazine, which that is something that the Ruger mini 14 should take a look at Shirley if Embell can do it rigger conduit otherwise it is another fine firearm that is practicable in a patriots arsenal of choice of platforms 👍 another thing I would like to add is that Springfield also imported or made another FAL, which was called the S a R 48 hopefully you can do a review on that one sometime

    at Century in Montreal we had cases of non-converted uppers in 5.56, made in Argentina I believe. No sleeves for mag, actually made to fit 5.56 mags. Always wanted to buy one, but they never sold them for some reason while I worked for them

    • @vattmann1387
      @vattmann1387 4 года назад +5

      I certainly would have preferred one of those over an SA80 A1. It would have been interesting if the British Army went down the route of converting L1A1's to 5.56mm as the ammunition is closer to the original FAL ammo specifications.
      Mandatory SA80 A2 was fine to use, just a wee bit on the heavy side for what it was.

    • @DrBunnyMedicinal
      @DrBunnyMedicinal 4 года назад +7

      Long live the SLR!
      Sure, it was a bit heavy, as was the ammo, but anything you hit with it wasn't going to be giving you much in the way of trouble for a good long time.
      Or at all, if you shot them instead of just whacking them with the rifle. ;)

    • @gunner678
      @gunner678 4 года назад +1

      @@vattmann1387 in my service I used the SLR SMG and the SA80 (amongst a multitude of others), A2 was coming in when I retired. I found the SA80 quite useful actually, having moved on to the SMG by then. The sling particularly was great for the job I had at the time. But I like the SLR, a bloody good solid reliable battle rifle.

  • @RexApplegate
    @RexApplegate 4 года назад

    I shot one years ago. Jammed on me a couple times, been a while but I pretty much remember it as an example of why Gene Stoner's platform is charging on and the FAL mostly isn't with its crappier recoil impulse and heavy trigger.
    But, they're cool in that they're a lot closer to what the FAL engineers had in mind, as opposed to what US government forced it to become.
