    Default Pulled the FAL out of the safe had not shot it in 10 years. Put a smile on my face....

    Had not shot it in close to a decade, and had not been to the range all year. I needed to get out and shoot.

    Love it but even as a Para-Fal it is a heavy pig (but thats just speaking of range use). Austrian Para Kit built by DSA and bought at Jensens in Loveland years ago..

    I would say I need to adjust the gas setting but it looks like it is ejecting erratically and not in a constant location. Oh well just another reason to shoot it again.

    Thanks. The last time I took the family to the range all of the rifle spots were taken. The daughter was disappointed she did not get to shoot the Bushy and I did not get to shoot the M1. Next time.
    I have a Super Blackhawk that I have not shot in over 20 years, I guess I should pull the brute out and shoot it. Took this photo about that long ago.

    I fell in love with the FAL many years ago when I shot one of the first imported to the U.S. Owned two since then and have an Imbel/Coonan’s kit that needs assembly.

    I've always wanted one but never had one. You just re-kindled me wanting one again. Thanks for nothing!
