Fn Fal 308 cal
So i finally got it! Not tha (most) extravagant gun but it rocks and is dead on @ 800 yards! I'm havin trouble findin accssories for it though. I found **** for it but did'nt like tha price and since it not such a popular gun i wonderin if ne one knows where to get **** for it? I need the following: Muzzle brake/flash hider, picitanny fore stock, folding rear stock, broom stick handle? not sure bout tha handle but it makes em nice for quick aiming and firing. lemme know......... i really need the fore stock!

Re: Fn Fal 308 cal
In your other thread you said it wasn't accurate at all. I call bullshit on 800 yards.
Hey man turns out you might be right? So i hooked up the rifle with all the goodies i wanted and it shoots like ****! At 300 meters my best grouping is like 8 inches! WTF! So i got rid of the high powered scope and put a bushnell 0 magnification red dot on it and i'm pretty good up to 200 meters. All kill shots. I was wondering if mabey i need a new barrel? It is a used gun and who knows how many rounds went through this thing? Is there a way i can tell if i need a new barrel? i can get a match grade for around $600 but i dont know if the rifle is worth that barrel? Thanks man.

Did you make that shot standing up too? or is that extra "0" on there by accident?
Also for accuracy problems, check your ammo before anything else... try many different brands, each gun shoots different ammo differently.

Not only is every make and model different but every gun can be different, shooting better or worse with different brands and loads of ammo. See if you can get some good handloads as they are probably the best for accuracy.

Re: Fn Fal 308 cal
Being that the Fal is on of the longest battle rifles out, close in size of the HK G3 it isnt an ideal weapon for "tactical" use. With such a long barrel, and large round(7.62 Nato) it's not an ideal weapon for clearing a building.
The broom handle thing, is called a FVG or Vertical Forward Grip.
Although the Federal Assault weapon ban expired in 2004, New York state and California codified their own into law. Thus, being that you are in New York; your weapon is required to have been manufactured before 1994 to attach a folding or collapsable stock/have a threaded barrel to accept flash hiders or muzzle breaks/ bayonet mounts.
If you add any of those items to a rifle manufactured after 1994 inside of New York state, it is a felony. You can thank your Chuck Schumer for that. Here in FL, none of those things are illegal.
Anyways, www.dsarms.com builds STG58's which is a FAL rifle. They have all the parts- although expensive- you are looking for. But again, legally you can't do anything more than add a VFG and piccany front rail system.
Hope this helps.
