Please recommend a FAL build for me. I want a 16" or 18" barrel.

I found those two:

and

http://www.dsarms.com/SA58-FAL-Carbine- ... o/SA58C18/

Are there other's that I don't know about? Cheaper? Which one would you get?

The FAL was used in over 90 countries of the world. There are many variants available. While DSA makes great receivers, they have run out of foreign made surplus parts. Their guns from a few years ago were great, but their newer guns now use US bolts & carriers, & that's a problem. Try to find a FAL that was built by a reputable person from a #'s matching kit on a DSA or Imbel receiver. Go to the FAL files & learn all about the different FAL's that are available. On that site there are many nice Imbel guns built on Imbel kits for $800. GARY N4KVE

Honestly, get this one and change the furniture as needed.

I'm a DSA dealer if you want me to order one for you.

I have had built Imbel FALs with Steyr parts, a DSA STG-58, and currently have a DSA SA-58 carbine. I prefer the shorter barrel lightweight FALs.

I have already seen 2 recent DSA built guns have to go back to DSA with busted [American made] bolts. So I would call to find out the origin of the bolt used in the gun in question. DSA knows there is a problem with the heat treating of their US made bolts. But they wont replace them until after they break. Check out the for sale section at the "FAL FILES" forum. GARY N4KVE

belgian folder shortest barrel or dsa replica of it
bolts are not hard to find to keep a spare
i you can find an eden aussie grab it poyer is too expensive for a shooter
aussie coachwood is beautiful
dont by a brit since it is probably sear cut and illegal
heavy barrel belgian is nice too but they weigh a ton
and a L2a1 if you can find a nice one

The other option is to look for the older (built) FAL by DSA w/ original parts and barrel, like the Austrian STG58(A) and DSA made type 1 or 2 receiver.

Personally I'd take a 18" barrel over a 16" one. The ballistic arc of 7.62x51 starts looking a lot like 7.62x39 out of a 16" barrel.

What about sometihng like this?

Imbel parts are good, but then you still need a receiver, and a good FAL builder to put it all together. Some builders have been crap, some have been great. I loved my DSA built STG-58, and I had an Imbel parts rifle that shot well but looked somewhat ratty.

Very happy with my current all DSA carbine.

some of us just do it for fun. build what you want that way you know your fal inside and out... cbr
1. imbel/imbel type III cut to 16"
2. imbel/dci type I cut 18"
3. imbel/dsa type II cut 18"

Looking good CBR. Is that number 4 just in the to of the frame of the pic?

This guy built mine years ago,

I have a really nice StG58 built on a PAC gear logo receiver.
