FAL love at first site!

[ordo]

I was at a range outside Atlanta Saturday and met a very nice man and his son. They were firing an FAL at one end of the range while I was at the other end of the range with three of my four sons. At one point he asked if he could use my spotting scope, Sure go ahead, I replied. When the line was cold for a minute, I asked him if his FAL was one of the Canadians I had seen at a local show.

It was not a Canadian. It was a Steyr parts gun built on a dsa reciever. He must have seen me drooling because he immediately invited me to shoot it! It was a dream! He must have had a good trigger job and other accurizing because he had shot out the bullseye of a very small target at over 100yds with iron sites!

After firing this fine rifle we spoke briefly. I was not surprised that this very articulate and knowledgeable man was a fellow TFL member! Thanks friend!

You're welcome!

You should have shot it some more! You were more than welcome to.

You're far too kind on my shooting skills. I was shooting 6"-8" dia. 20 round groups on iron sights at 100 yds, reasonably rapid fire. Today I bolted a 3-9x35 Leupold scope I had lying about onto it. Next time I get down to the range, I should be able to tighten up those groups nicely. That shot out bull was my son shooting at 20 yds - the first time he had shot the FAL.
