Watching you field strip this rifle got me reacquainted with the FN FAL. I used this rifle in the New Zealand Army 35 years ago. Loved this weapon.
the FNFAL and the HK91 are my favorite rifles of all time.
Thank you very much for taking the time to post this great video! I just inherited an FAL, and I'd never disassembled or cleaned one before. Your video really helped.
Jim's videos are so cut2the-chase, non-BS. Plus always good to get advice from a veteran.
This vid just saved my rear end, its already 5AM, thank you!
Thanks for the video. Just purchased an 11” SA-58 OSW from DSArms and had no idea on how to field strip the thing. Thanks for your service also sir!
Many thanks for the informative and easy to follow video. Greetings from New Zealand.
This brought back the memories. I was taught this stuff a long long time ago. And, for a field-strip, we used the inside of our beret to put the bolt and bolt-carrier on. It didn't matter if there was an oil-smudge on the inside. Not in the field, anyway. The gas piston and spring were long enough that you had to be careful.
Thanks, Jim. This is the video I've been looking for. Very helpful for a newbie FAL owner. Keep up the good work.
Just got my first FAL, and this video is superb. Thank you so much! I'm used to the stoner platforms, so the FAL, is a whole new ballgame, but one I'm really liking.
Thanks for posting this vid, just cleaned Dad's FAL from top to bottom to get it ready for 3 Gun this weekend!
He's getting real good at narrating and showing the procedures !
Holy cow ! Your from Lords of War!
Love your show man!
Great talk through. I got more from your overview than from the manufacturer video. Semper Fi
Great video Jim. Thank you.
Another great vid on a cool gun! Thanks Jim.
Dang Jim you're extremely knowledgeable, great video as always.
I am kind of new to the FAL rifle but I really like. I also really liked your video! It was very very informative thank you.
I have heard previously that for proper fal semi operation you close the gas block until it stops cycling with that ammo then open it back up 2 clicks. Thought that might help someone get the most out of this great rifle.
Nice work on the video, appreciate the info. Proud to hang the SA-58 on the wall... nothing says hello like a well-placed .308 round. And you gotta love the adjustable Gas System - firing almost ANY ammo (.308 / 7.62X51 NATO) is a big Plus on the modern battlefield.
Now, if I could only afford the ammo to Shoot the dam thing!!!
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing.
Just traded for an FAL yesterday..thanks for the video
thnks jim...i like the new show you're on...
Thank you for the video. Very informative.
Good to see you're still working now that you're a famous moviestar. :D
I was havin issues figuring out the break-apart joint. I've never seen one like that that is a screw type. Thanks!
Thanks!!! You've helped me a lot!!!
Great video!
Great video Jim. Maybe you can answer a question for me? On some of the Belgium FAL's, there is an asterisk added near the serial number on the side of the receiver. Its not on any of the Imbel or Argentinian FAP guns, only the Belgium ones. Its not part of the serial number. Any idea what it represents?
Hermoso video, muy bien explicado, me arruine con el idioma pero voy a traducirlo y me lo descargo.
Felicidades por este video, me sirve de mucho....
Merci monsieur pour cette video bien détaillée qui va m'aider pour mon nouveau fusil.
++++++
Wha kind of handguards are those? Very interesting looking!
Thanks, I got a FAL 5 hours ago and wondered about the pivot pin/screw thing. The answer was just to hold a finger on the sarlacc side.
BTW In your video, the screw pin thingie was reversed compared to a Stg58
Good video, thanks.
If you want to upgrade your stock to a modern stock and you have a Century Arms R1A1 what would you recommend and what ia available.
Thanks for explaining the adjustable gas system, I just bought one and it didn't come with a manual.
hey jim! you still in the downeast area? I've got a c-96 that needs a bit of work...
When I was cleaning my fal, i pushed the hammer forward, like you warned about the 547 mark, and the hammer strut(?) popped out. Should I take it to a gunsmith to replace? Thank
Thanks Man
Semper Fi Devil Dog. Nice review.
I am looking for the scope mount, I ordered the one from DSARMS, but 1mm too long, any recommendations?
Any tips on adding a carry handle?
learned a lot. Thanks
Does this Field Strip also hold true for the DSA Sa58 FAL Rifles ?
good job!!!!!!
It looks like the recoil spring is in the stock ??
What type of recoil spring is used ?
Hi, can you put on safe when it's not hammered? Since for example in the M4 Carbine if it is not hammered it can not be put in safe.
Just make sure to never try to remove the recoil spring inside the stock...
At least not on an original FN-FAL. Takes days to get it back in ;o)
I speak from experience
Hey guys, is there anyway to swap trigger groups on a rifle if the takedown lever is broken thanks
Bro, what about the gas piston and gas piston bore to oil , not to oil .? Cleaning etc thanks
A quarter works perfectly
I like the T48 style polymer grip. Need to get one of those.
very good.........
would you please tell me how to change the front sight tip.MINE IS BROKEN
I have pretty much the same fal as in this video but my disassembly lever is stuck. No matter how hard I press it, it won’t budge. Im destroying my thumbs just trying to press it. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks
I bought a used one but it didn’t come with a carrying handle, if I buy one from online could I slap it on and if so how difficult is it?
I have been looking for synthetic stock with the flip up rear stock plate. Do you know where that came from?
FoE Dekker that's a Tapco SAW stock and the hand guard is a Tapco T-48 hand guard
Pretty cool lookin gun ,considering its made in France...i have a French Semi hunting rifle vintage,but this thing is very cool.
So my fal has the same break point as yours. But when I try to break it, it won’t open up all way. It gets stuck. What am I doing wrong?
Built it !!!!!!!!!!!! Or several just like it.
I would like to own one of those rifles some day
I am having issues with my FAL breaking down from the rear when firing. I bought it thinking it was all functional, and if I pull down with my right hand on the pistol grip, and push up on the handguard it will cycle flawlessly. Does anybody know what may be going on? nothing appears to be worn.
Hay my fal jamd and i need some info on how i can fix it a
Is that a stock from a SAW?
Double tap triggers are completely legal, I wish I knew how to convert that full auto position on mine, to a binary function.
Not likely to happen. There are parts required but are NOT in a semi auto FAL to make it fire full auto. You won't have the proper auto sear in the semi auto receivers. And no way to install them, either. I seriously doubt you can make it full auto by jiggling anything. If you think so, please explain how you get the required hammer delay as the bolt is closing and locking ? Otherwise you have hammer follow as the bolt closes and not enough energy to operate the firing pin. And having one of these guns fire from an unlocked breech is dangerous to the shooter
Your post reminded me of something ... DSA has a carbine length (16.25" barrel) complete front end with a quick release gas plug. If I'm going to convert a 21" to a 16.25" carbine, fixed stock, how would I go about the swap or should I just drop in their carbine length barrel that comes with an attached closed-ear gas block?
---
Or should I just get an 18" and be happy with it because apparently pushing it below 18" will, according to many, bring with it a host of annoying problems?
I don’t like correcting people, and I’m not sure what you consider being the arm for a country. As far as I know however, the FAL was adopted in 93 countries. I don’t know if you are talking about countries still using it or what, but most numbers I hear are in the 90’s, not 49.
You look like the definition of gunsmith
how do you take the stock off -- and don't say 'unscrew it' -- won't work
Good video, 87 countries used this weapon.
I didn't know those had an adjustable gas system, neat feature. I wish more guns came standard with that...would make shooting underpowered russian ammo easier.
What handguard is that?
Tapco T-48 hand guard, the buttstock is a Tapco SAW stock
You guys just got constitutional carry, congrats!
I rotate my gas plug and it doesn't come out? It's like it's hung up on something?
right on!!...keep it up...i'm sure you wouldn't trade occupations for anything...
the tapco furniture doesnt do the fal justice, i have the stg 58 furniture on mine, looks more sleek
FAL Fusil Automatique Leger, light automatic rifle.
I hear discovery channel has an open slot for a gun show! good video, i just acquired one of these in a trade for a BPS 12 ga.
HOW DO I REMOVE THE PISTOL GRIP PLEASE
Depends on if its an L1A1 or an FAL. The FAL has the screw in the base of the grip. The L1A1 screw is inside the lower receiver
Lol I love your accent
"Laaeet Atomatuk Rafahl"
The bolt carrier wont come out
ماكو بلعراق مثلها غير شكل اكو خشب مو باغه
His gunship has been shut down :(
90 countrys......
Rather complex weapons, RPG-7 as something more interesting ...
Thanks... I think.... Hahahahaha
I don't have an accent... Or at least I don't think so, hahaha
Yes Sir, I knew what the letters stand for, but have you ever heard a hillbilly try to speak French / Belgian ? Not a very pretty sound at all.
Honestly? This guy would rather have an M 14 than a FAL?
Its Belgian not french....
Bahaha
Naaaahh, not a movie star at all. Just a gun crank still trying to get by.
