As Ian says this rifle were created in Brazil not in Argentina. But in Argentina we came up with some kind of 5.56 ak: the FARA. it was produced in limited numbers until it was cancelled in the 90 because of budget cuts. Nowadays the Argentinian marines use the m16 as their service rifle so it’s clear that we abandoned the idea of the fara
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. Regards, Marky

Nomad Natan isn't it Fuzil de Assalto Leve? Light Assault Rifle. Which is funny given how heavy these things are. The original Belgian name meant Fast Automatic Rifle.
The Galil is heavy for a 5.56 also, but no one has ever accused it of being a slouch. This looks like a great rifle, and i love the change to the Para configuration. Someone had good taste. I have heard the Inbel guns are well made. A gunsmith friend of mine in another state likes their parts kits for reasonable-cost FAL builds. My acquisition of one will have to wait until i move to a free state some time in the future. Great video as always. Thank you
Almost all FAL's simply look Functional & purposeful , their not as rad as Steyr or as iconic as an AK but they are up on the cool wall , this one in my eyes is really cool and getting as cool as any FAL is able .Thanks Ian,great show as always !
I'd love to see this run at a 2 gun. Pair it with some older kit for a "what if" run if the FAL had stayed in an intermediate cartridge. I expect we all know how it will run, but would still be cool!
If we beg, maybe Imbel will start importing FAL’s again. Because I NEED this really bad. I hate my AR and if I can get an FAL in 5.56, I’d be thrilled.
I have one of these. Converted to standard configuration. In my experience almost all these were tinkered with, mostly by getting rid of the thumbhole stock and flashier ( even when it wasn't really legal). I saved the parts. It'll be interesting to see what this sells for.
I agree Ian with your assessment. As a owner of a SAR-48, 7.62, of coarse I have been tempted many time's to send it to DSA for the full treatment of one of their cool updates but there goes the collectable value.

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.

I purchased an SAR-4800 Springfield receiver in 7.62 from DSA at some point in the early 90's. 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. Of my 4 FAL's this is my main shooter.
And a modernized one, weighs more than a m4, and use abs plastic. One of these guns exploded in hands of a police officer in são Paulo. After this, the Sao Paulo police decides use FN Scar-ls . Good times in the army Pvt 328 from Comando company and service's. Npor não é formação.
I wish you showed us an example of the rounds they fire alongside the gun like a dummy round or something. I know this one is just a 5.56 we all know what that looks like but still it would help for the other guns also.
Do we know if Imbel still makes 5.56 FALs for the Brazilian Military/civilian market? It’d be cool to import new production MD-97s since, as Ian said, only 700 were originally imported.
Very cool as usual Mr Ian. Although I have to say that every item you document on this channel is very cool as well. I look forward to your content and I wish you success and all the best to you and yours!
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

Soooo cooll. I am from Brazil and these are very popular among the police from various states. Sadly I moved to Portugal and here all we can shoot is a slingshot, provided it has the original rubber.
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.
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. ;)
