I slepped an FAL for 4 years when I was in the army. It is a fine MBR and extemely reliable. I don't remember ever having one jam or miss feed, when the ammo was good that is. You talk about about Vietnam, the Australians carried their's into battle over there and were very happy with their performance. Even when the M16 can into popularity over there, the Aussies had two per section (squad) as a light support initial spray gun to get their heads down; but when the business came, it was the FAL L1A1 to go in and shoot that b*stard THROUGH the tree. You'all missed out on a fine MBR.
