Gun Grab of the Week – FAL -The Fabrique Nationale Fusil Automatique Léger or FN FAL for short translates to the "Light Automatic Rifle", and was adopted in 1954 by nearly all NATO forces with the notable exception of the United States. However, with over 2 million examples produced, this is still arguably one of the most prevalent military firearms ever built. This rifle is a semi auto from the Guntech gun library here at Brownells and was assembled from a parts kit mounted to a D.S. Arms receiver. Despite the rise of the AR-308 platform and the dominance of the M14/M1A design, the FAL still has a large, devoted following and the prices of these rifles reflect that. It may be an older design, but it combines light weight with manageable recoil and superb accuracy. Little wonder then why those who use them swear by them and feel little need to modernize.
