and when we could get the Norinco M14S

hah

nope

$1700

700$

^

Yep lol C1s and C2s with accommodation for stripper clips

mine was six something on sale

Stripper clips are neat... but not much more

Yeah. They’re an antiquated idea. Poor people thoughts

I originally had a stripper clip top cover on my first FAL because California

Is anyone even making FAL recievers now that coonan is "restructuring"

slim pickins

Poor government thoughts I should say

DSA and that's about it

iirc

DSA's new FAL line is pretty spendy as well

they made a 6.5 creedmoor version for some reason...

now you can get 3-4MOA with 6.5 Creedmoor!

lol

The M1A1 Carbine has stripper clips.
There fun and actually easy to load and reload. I've got like 12 of em. But I don't really need them or ever use them since I have 5, 15 round mags

I find it interesting that the G3 wasn't designed with stripper clips in mind

but the FAL and M14 were

A 6.5 FAL...

A 6.5 FAL would be neat

6.5x55 mebbe

I understand some militaries use the SA58. Why not more? I’m surprised at least more militaries didn’t modernize their FALs as there’s so many around

it was the Right Arm of the Free World

Poors did the rest went intermediate rounds

🅱 ig think

Because warfare has moved on to intermediate cartridges.

^^^^^

Because everyone who had FAL’s was in nato and nato went “yes we must have 5.56”

That’s true, with the shift to 556

The time for battle rifles had passed

There’s still a use for DMR’s on a section level

But proper battle rifles are done

I guess there was enough of a gap between them and the kind of resurgence of battle rifles and DMRs

?

I mean not like they ever went away but now with military’s fielding SCAR17s and 417s it’s weird you don’t see them modernizing their old FALs that are in storage

But that can probably be as expensive as new rifles sometimes I guess
