Seems like the red/green dot scopes or a light-weight magnifying scope would work best.
#Century arms l1a1 reviews install#
I don’t know that I would install a great big scope on the top cover with the mount, though. I also tried a 3×9 scope on the top cover, and it, too, fit nicely – no movement of the top cover when it was installed on the rifle. I had a couple cheap red/green dot scopes around, and I tried them on the top cover with the mount attached, and they all fit nicely – no problems at all. The sample B&T sent me, with their mount already Most of the time, this isn’t a problem, it doesn’t take much to fit a top cover so there isn’t any play in them. Or, you can request one of their covers with their mount attached, and fit it to you own rifle. You can send them your FAL top cover, if it fits tightly on your FAL, and have them attach their mount to your cover. Well, now you can do it, and do it for a lot less money, too.ī&T has several options for you. So, a lot of folks want to mount a magnifying scope or a red/green dot scope of some sort on their FALs. What might be ok at a hundred yards, won’t work at 600-yards if that rear sight isn’t tight and it is moving around on you. My biggest complaint with the FAL is that, the rear sight isn’t the most stable – no matter what you do, many of them will have some play in them – and that is NOT a good thing, especially if you are looking at any long-range shots. You can find these guns on Gun Broker and Guns America, if you take the time to search their web sites. So, when they do a run, they usually sell out very fast – be advised. Only thing is, Century doesn’t run many batches of these guns, they aren’t exactly easy to assemble and make work. The good news is, Century stands behind their products and will make it right if you have a defective gun. Many parts will interchange between the inch and metric guns, and Century Arms did a good job on my sample – however, they have had some bad guns get out there, that didn’t work. I have a Century Arms “FrankenFAL” – meaning, it isn’t quite an FAL nor is it an L1A1, either – it has parts from both designs, one being metric, and one inch pattern. My first thought was, “this looks a little flimsy…” and as is often the case, first impressions are not always the right ones. B&T Enterprises produces a very lightweight and very affordable set-up for your FAL if you want to mount a scope or red/green dot scope on your rifle, without adding a lot of weight.īrian, at B&T Enterprises, sent me an FAL top cover, with a light-weight aluminum scope mount attached to it. I like saving a few bucks whenever I can. There are a few scope mounts out there for the FAL (generic term) of rifles these days, and I’ve tried a few – albeit, they are very expensive and a bit bulky and heavy. 308 Win (7.62 NATO) round – when you want to reach out there and touch someone – the.
There’s just “something” about this style of rifle that calls out to me – and thousands (or millions) of other gun owners, and for good reason, they are time-tested battle rifle, that at one time, served in approximately 90 militaries around the world, and it is still serving – a testament to the design and the. I asked to handle it, and it was love at first sight and touch. It was a select-fire version, hanging on the wall of my local gun shop outside of Chicago.
Even before that, I still remember the first FAL I ever saw. I’ve had a fondness for the FAL and L1A1 rifles for many years, even before I carried one in Rhodesia, (now Zimbabwe) back in 1976.
