  • In this video we will talk about the suppressor mounting options on an FN FAL rifle. The rifle I used is the DSA OSW with a Surefire muzzle brake. The suppressor is a Surefire SOCOM762 (in .30 cal).

      There is hardly any recoil. And it's extremely smooth to run. I would not have expected that from such a short barrel - 7.62x51mm usually has some kick to it.

      The full size fal suppressed with it’s 21” barrel will be long as hell. 😂 I kind of want to build an FAL of an IMBEL kit, but I do want a surefire suppressor installed on it as well. FAL builders I’ve talked to say that the dsa barrels are fine, but the IMBEL barrels are better. Dsa barrels typically have the 1-10 twist and you can get barrels with the correct threading for surefire suppressor adapters. Is it worth using a DSA barrel in order to use the suppressor?

      @@justsomeguy922r3 if you plan on using a suppressor on your FAL, go with a DSA barrel. That's my plan too. I want to get my surefire can on my 21" rifle.
      If you are unsure about to suppress it, go with the Imbel barrel. But if you properly install the DSA barrel and adjust the gas system to the rounds you're shooting, the DSA barrel will be good enough for you.

    It's interesting that a different Gas Plug is needed, the Gas Regulation is so adjustable as is one would think that would suffice at a low/ near cutoff level to run no problem. Great video bru!

      when you cut the barrel off on a fal an inch in front of the gas block you have to drill out the gas port with a 1/8 drill bit and it cycles violently.i cut down a 21 to 16 inchs and I wish I hadnt.maybe18.

    Hey FAL GUY, I just shot my first rounds through my osw 12" FAL today suppressed. It was amazing except for one problem, there was an insane amount of gas to the face/eyes. I was using the suppressor gas plug without the additional bushings. Did you have to switch to the 2nd or 3rd bushing to get the gas to the face to go away?

      I would recommend a 16 or 18" FAL for these distances. The OSW is great however it is limited in terms of accuracy long range. I get the best results out of my 18" Recce rifle with the LPVO mounted on it. However, my Para with 16" and the EOTech and magnifier is a superb setup as well and has not disappointed me yet!
