**UPDATE***
This is NOT a standard FN FAL, but rather an DSA Clone. We labeled it an FN FAL and it's been something that has bothered us for a while. There are a mix of features that you see here.
DSA has served the FAL community well by continuing to make parts and has not largely become one of the only companies still manufacturing parts for the FN FAL. We mentioned that the DSA is a good copy, quite frankly because we were only aware of the early DSA rifles with LMT machined forged receivers. The newer ones need a more discerning eye to figure out if it is a keeper or not.
Regardless, if it weren't for DSA clones, there would be far less FN FAL rifles in the US and most of those would be Century builds, which are more questionable (not bad, I have one L1A1 on Imbel that is highly desirable and fantastic to shoot).

He does it so casually, but folks who aren't shooters need to realize that knocking down targets at 500 yards with irons is absolutely next level skill.
I'm attributing those misses to the rifle not being painted with yellow stripes and you not wearing shorty shorts...
Not only did the Rhodies jump with the FAL, they brought along the FN MAG for fun. All 12kg of it plus ammo.
I'm a simple man: I see FAL, I click.
I carried an FN in the Canadian Army, still my favourite rifle. Her name was "6L7362" and I miss her lol
"FN FAL: perfect If you want to reach out and touch someone at 400m." - I heard a South African say once.
This rifle was standard issue to the Rhodesian security Forces. It was a bit heavy carrying it on patrol but when you needed to fire it in anger it gave you a warm feeling hearing the sound of this rifle compared to the" tuk-tuk-tuk" sound of the AK's shooting back at you!
I've fired literally thousands of rounds from the rifle. I know it inside out. I can remember when I had one put in my hands for the first time. From then on it was practically a part of my body. I could smash targets from 100 metres to 600 meters. Just a great reliable powerful rifle. Brings back sweet memories
When I was in the light infantry, we were taught to aim 6 inches above the centre mass for the round to drop centre and that was at all distances as long as you adjusted the rear sight to the corresponding distance. Our normal rear sight was placed at 300 for general battle conditions. Some years ago I was lucky enough to have a private tour of the Leeds armoury and held the FN serial number 1 !
This was my service rifle 1978 / 1979 in the SADF absolutely loved it.
decades ago I had one of these exact rifles at an outdoor range when a fast-moving, raging thunderstorm came in out of nowhere.
"can't jump with a full length FN!"
I was a British Paratrooper and we jumped with these SLRs as standard. Fits into two sleeves attached to the side of our kit bundle ("container"). Released in flight to dangle on a rope attached to our harnesses.
This was my gun in the Greek Special Forse Green Berets in 1993-94. I will never forget it. Durable material with very little maintance. You could be all day long in hush conditions, humidity, mud and still be ready to fire.
I used this rifle when i was in the Australian army 35yrs ago , i love it , the right arm of the free world
I remember firing this rifle while I served in the New Zealand Army in 1981. I love this rifle. Very accurate. We could expect a bruised cheek from the rifles recoil when you first shot it.
The Rifle of the Free World.
I love how there's no filler at all in these videos, they just skip straight into the good stuff
Reminds me of my sniper training in the SADF (1976), R1 rifle with iron sights. Sniper table started ar 700 meters _ run to 600 meters and do 10 push-ups. Run to 500 meters and take 5 prone shots. Run to 400 meters and do 10 push-ups. Run to 300 meters and take 5 prone shots. Run 100 meters take 5 kneeling shots. Run 50 meters take 5 standing shots. The first round was hilarious, only one guy (a permanent force Rhodesian), succeeded. The rest of us failed miserably. On a weekend pass, I gathered all the front sights and had them precision ground to a smaller diameter. The instructors allowed us one day with scopes to see where we were shooting but to qualify, we had to use iron sights. By the end of our training we were successful.
In the early/late 70's I took part in inter-regimental/corps competions and we fired our SLRs (UK version of FN FAL) at 100m, 200m, 300m and 600m. The 600m shoot was obviously from the prone position but unsupported, no rifle rests were allowed. We only used battle sights, but at 600m we did have a spotter. The targets were quite large, maybe > 1.5m x 1.5m, black outer, white inner. We also used Browning HP/GP 35 9mm pistols at 10m and 25m and Sterling 9mm SMGs at 25m, 50m, 75m and 100m.
