poncoolride yes indeed, the sights are really crude. Actually a good drum peep sight with the G3 would be much better. The factory sights are crude and flimsy and wobbly and suck.
+ThurisazPL hi buddy, it's just an 1960's end of the decade, usual, run+of-the-mill, 12 a dozen brasilian IMBEL. Not even hand-selected, vendor had like 4 of them, just picked up one with a serial number I liked :). I checked the barrel, the action, and bought it (barrel is 99,9999% mint). Trigger is kinda on the heavy side, though... but still, u can learn to live with it. It's for all intents and purposes, a used milsurp gun. IMBELs are easily top tier rifles, as the whole assembly line, building material, everything was set up directly by FN (Fabrique National, Belgium), zhis is as belgian and FN, as it gets.
+Bear of Sinai I plan on buying Imbel FAL in the future and I'm simply amazed that you can achieve such a good accuracy with a rifle that has been used for so many years in the army. It seems that they took good care of their weapons. Nice video, thanks for posting it.
ThurisazPL hey buddy, let me get one thig straight. The manufacture date of a rifle has NOTHING to do with it's true potentials. Most CONSCRIPTION (obligatory military service) armies produce waaaay more guns, that they actually rotate in training, and during the training, they hardly actually shoot the rifles. I see on daily basis MINT condition hungarian AKs in the stores here, which are milled receiver, ergo early 50's, mid 50's, and they are like brand new. A hungarian conscript get to fire 8 shots during tha training, at least that's what I was told. So, all in all, the milsurp rifles can be almost brand new, just check the barrel (wear, and corrosion), and the action, and you shpuld be good. Check out my other videos, where I shoot my 102 years old (!) swiss Schmidt Rubin, and make sub MoA with it...
+Bear of Sinai Talking about Brazil and old guns, there are a few units in brazilian state police that uses Madsen LMGs converted to 7.62 NATO in their fights against drug dealers. Its amazing how well made weapons will last with proper care. And I dont know how this rifle ended up with you, but I can assure you that 99% of the FALs in brazilian military and police are very beaten up (and they still get the job done).
Ever do a video on how to adjust the rear sights on the L1A1.
The sights on these could be better. I think with a decent scope and a good scope mount you could get better results.

Is your rifle brand new or is it military surplus gun?

J Cavalcanti well as long as the barrel rifling looks sharp I can live with that
