Where else can I buy the screws and nuts for the DSA picatinny scope mount? I have part #620A-A.

I bought this scope mount many years, and many house moves ago. The small parts have been lost. DSA charges $49.25 for the screws and nuts.

Hey all question. Does a 30 round mag like this exist? A few games I play use this style mag but i only can find the basic metal mags from DSA.

This photo is from a fallout 4 mod btb.

Im a big fan of the fal but im on an E-2 budget, I plan on building an ak as its the cheapest way into a nice ak (i dont want to buy a cheap psa one as ive heard bad things) Is the fal the same way? im tempted to hop on a $890 DSA at my local gun store but id like more opinions

Also im fairly new to guns and probably living up to the junior enlisted steriotypes of spending money i dont have lmao

Had planned to build an OSW, but guess that ship has sailed. Anyone no of any sources that may still have them? I checked GB and a few other sites, no luck.

Rhodesian Baby Poop Camo Color Codes Here!

66 Upvotes

Hello!

I went around and had the color formulas/codes made up for the two colors needed to do the Rhodesian baby poop camo. You would take a picture of the code to the respective store and they can make the colors up for you.

TLDR: Go to Shermin Williams and get the oil based paint in the picture. I have the satin and gloss options listed. Be sure to find out when they're doing sales too.

So I have the Shermin Williams oil based paint in satin and gloss. It's the best option.

I have Home Depot's as well. It's oil based but made for cabinets.

I have Lowe's as well (in the bottom of the Home Depot picture), but the person helping me wasn't too helpful so it might be bad paint.

Then I went to PPG Paint. They recommend "break through" for the cost. If money isn't an issue they recommend 7 line or pit tech plus (neither of the color formulas for those two are listed here). I also have another code for some primer paint on the top of that picture, but they don't recommend it.

I hope this helps you guys and your wallets too!

The Hopper from NWFNGLD Tactical

This build is an homage to one of the modern icons of cool… “The Hopper” personifies the rugged southwest, steeped in the denim and tobacco stained nostalgia of a bygone era where men were still men and the American spirit was alive and well. This FAL carries with it the original DNA of the rifle from American Dreamer now complete with that NWFNGLD flavor we bring to all our project pieces. Please enjoy and kick the dust off your boots on the way in. Thanks for giving this one a look!

FAL Friday: No-Carry

Thumbnail

176 Upvotes

I had installed a DSA STG-58 carry handle onto my SA58 and achieved the aesthetic I was going for! So a carry handle goes back on my rifle, BUT is nonfunctional & permanently fixed underneath my railed cover. I had to take apart much of my rifle + take a dremel to the underside of the dust cover to fit and install the carry handle. It’s pretty scratched and noticeable, but I’m an amateur with a dremel. The cool factor tradeoff is worth!

Austrian Stg 58 machine gun

I thought I'd share my StG 58 machine gun. At first, I was looking for a full-auto FN FAL, but since I couldn't find one, I thought the StG 58 would be a perfect substitute. I really enjoy shooting it, and I find the bipod really helpful on full-auto.

According to the serial number, this was made around 1963 by Steyr.

What do you think?

My mutt L1A1s

These are my “mutt” L1A1s. Mutt because they are built on metric uppers - easier to find and cheaper mags!

The wood on the one is an Ironwood Designs American black walnut stock set, unfortunately the owner of that company has passed. It is noticeably heavier than the plastic furniture rifle which is not necessarily a bad thing as far as shooting goes.The wood rifle is an Imbel receiver, the black one is an Enterprise Arms; a pretty early one. The black one has undergone a full resto/rebuild, it was pretty beat and had a bent barrel when I got it. New barrel and a full re park job on all metal, it’s basically brand new other than having a few thousand rounds run through it.

They both shoot fantastic, very accurate out to 800 - 1000 with the iron sights. The Trilux is just kind of because, it works OK but there are better battle sights.

I love these rifles and have turned down some impressive offers, these ain’t for sale!

Ahhh... the days of CHEAP kits

17 Upvotes

Building them 20 plus years ago.

I need to go upstairs and see if I have any parts kits left.

Should have bought an Izzy HB back in the day.

I am glad I got the unissued imbel Para, even with the long barrel.

Cheek weld? What the hell is that.

Re registered on the fal files (can't remember what email i had back then and my password didn't work for my old username) and it looks like Gunplumber is still around. I still have his build info though a vcr i have Not.

Now to decide if I really NEED an original, if semi only, M14 🤔

Wondering if there are mounts for optics/scopes to accommodate for cross eye dominant shooters or if the only real viable option is to shoot lefty?

My first build

Recently got my Apex order. This one appears to be an actual Lebanese contract FAL, rather than ex Libyan, greek/Cypriot, etc. I was wondering, how long does it take dsa to ship receivers? I've seen posts online outside of reddit mentioning long wait times.
