British Army during 1960s/'70s. L1A1 - Imperial Measurement version of Metric FN-FAL - was a very serviceable and reliable rifle, good enough for repeated hits at Half-a-Mile. I was Company Marksman and had a top cover which was fitted with a No.32 Telescopic Sight, as fitted to L42A1 British Sniper Rifle. Even with iron sights, 600 metres was well within range for repeated hits. My first choice for a Battle Rifle, despite its length. Easy to service and easy to clean and keep clean. I would also consider the FN Para-FAL with folding butt, despite shorter barrel and less accurate at extended range, but still good enough for reliable and repeated hits at 400 metres. As with everything in life, 'Better the Devil you Know' and 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it'.

I have a para Fal made by DSA. Great rifle! I only have two complaints. It is extremely hard on brass bending the rim so it is very difficult to reload. It also doesn't suppress well. I have even custom machined a new gas key with a small port so I don't have to dump a lot out of the atmosphere and it's still pretty loud. It is extremely reliable and well designed.

Magpul, an American manufacturer of plastic magazines, grips, bipods, stocks, and so-on has a rather expensive, not-particularly "slender," but possibly quite USEFUL after market stock for the FN-FAL. Unlike the usual stock, the cheek is higher-up, allowing better, more comfortable use of optics, than what results from the downward "droop" of an ordinary FN-FAL stock's configuration. I have a friend who would have ME run his FN-FAL, with a large variety of loads, from magazines labeled with masking tape with the load printed onto it, both for Chronographic velocity testing, and for accuracy, to see which load the rifle "liked" best. One thing that I noted was that the FN-FAL didn't seem to have as much felt recoil as an M-14. I'd also noticed this about the FN SCAR-17, and I suspect that this may derive from the "brick-sized" bolt carriers being able to soak-up the recoil impulse.

Wanted a Scar, could afford the Tavor, I am extremely happy with it so far. It's got to be one of the more high speed/low drag battle rifles of the bunch, yes it's not quite as accurate as the Scar or nicer AR10s, but it makes up for it by being such a tight package and so easy to shoot well within 200 yards.

I personally prefer the Springfield Armory M1A SOCOM-16, I've put 2K NATO rounds and never jammed, never misfired or slamfired, it's incredibly accurate and the M1A imo has the best iron sights of any Semi-Automatic Rifle. Love how it feels, easy to take down to single components and put back together.

I think your advice is the best I have heard. "Choose what's right for you." Well done and well said.

The weird forward and backward recoil happens on air rifles, but specifically on gas piston and coil spring break-barrel air rifles due to the piston or coil releasing. Interesting to learn that a piston driven firearm also does that. Makes sense. Cool.

Interesting. I love my M1 but I've always heard careful what ammo you feed it. Supposedly most modern ammo is more powerful then m2 ball and could bend an op-rod. Its reliable enough but then again I'm not getting it that dirty sense its mainly just being used on a plinking day.

I remember getting tagged to carry the M60 during PLDC. (Primary Leadership Development Course) Sergeant school. Those get heavy fast. I pulled a Tom Sawyer on one of the nice, but thicker guys. I let him carry it in a mock ambush. Then I went on and on about how good he was with it, and it was too bad he didn't have one. He almost begged me to carry it after that. Like we said in the Army, if you ain't cheating you ain't trying. 🤭

Not all are created equal. Just never use the L85 /. SAE-80 British version. It's probably the worst battle rifle created.

Love all the videos thank you

Great video. Thanks for posting. Personally, my favourite was the one I was issued by the British South Africa Police, now Zimbabwe Republic Police, which was an FN FAL. I did have a stoppage in the middle of a firefight where the cartridge must have had a weak spot at the head, causing it to sever at the groove. As a result the full casing was not ejected, and the next round was forced into the now headless spent case. Getting it out was not easy, but after 30 seconds or so I managed to clear it, and continued to fight. Back in the city I showed it to the armourer and he said he'd never seen that happen before. Even with the stoppage, the FAL remains my favourite.

You were lucky, being able to clear the stoppage under those conditions, then continue in the fight. I was SADF 74/75, radio operator/ COIN ops. Issued FN, fortunately never experienced stopages. Excellent weapon. My cousin from Plumbtree was in the RLI, also during the 70's. Was ambushed while in transit, more rounds up in the tree branches than in the vehicle, he sustained many injuries, mostly his face/jaw and spine. He survived. Sadly, his brother took an RPG to the chest, not much left of him. Yet another cousin on the farm was told of a ter down in the compound. He was a sharp shooter, took his rifle, saw the ter, emptied his magazine, missed every time. Was taken out with just one shot. My wife's uncle and aunt lost a son in Rhodesia. They moved down to SA and lost their youngest son serving in the SADF. We lost a number of family members, cousins, during the war.

I have a relatively new production RFB 24 and keep waiting for it to do something, anything to make me fall out of love with it. It's accurate, more accurate than I can be given how little I take it to the range these days, it has virtually no recoil once you tune it to the ammo you run using the gas knob at the front, the trigger is just incredible, it's east to clean, once you learn the mag change drill for it, it's fast enough for anything practical, it uses FAL mags so you can get 30 round mags for cheap, I could go on and on. Plus, it's forward ejecting which is just awesome and cool and always fun.

Great video good information helps with my decision on a new rifle

Good video! I just brought my new Tavor 7 home yesterday, sweet gift from my wife. I’m not depending on it for distance, just 308 power in a shorter rifle. I’m hoping the Holosun green optic holds up to the punishment. I’ve had no problems at all with the one on my sweet little Banchee truck gun. I have other .308’s M1 A1 Socom2, AR 10, Howa Hunter etc. but I thought I was going to build a .308 pistol. I love my AR pistol so I just lusted for a short .308 ass kicker. I am a bit concerned about steel cased ammo as I have had thousands of rounds in storage. No problem ever in my AR10 but the video I saw last night of failing to fire in the Tavor 7 test sucks! Hopefully I’ll know in a few days. Thanks for your videos on this rifle reinforcing the visual operation of this beauty. It is nothing like the firearms I’ve used for years and the manual is pretty intense for this old fart! 🇺🇸💪🏼🍊🥁

I’m with you on the Tavor 7. I’ve been salivating from a distance for awhile now...hope to get one later this year. Thanks for the review.

Agreed! I have the POF revolution. A great gun and deadly accurate

For normal long range I invested in 300 WinMag. For long long range 50BMG. For fighting close AR10. For cheap fun AR15. I have store bought ammo and self-made including the bullets in all calibers and types.

I used the fn fal for 10 years as a regular army in a country far away that doesn’t exist anymore. It was an ideal weapon against 7.62*39

yep, pretty much, though stretches the idea of an "assualt rifle" since they sport a full-power rifle round. IMO , 308 puts many such rifles into the "Combat rifle" class rather than the "Assualt rifle" class. The FAL and M14 are there.

Though I loved mine, no matter the ammo or mag, if the mag came in contect with the ground in any way, it would jam by double feed. Perfect otherwise, but I sold it!

i also appreciate bull-pups because they offer a compact and nimble platform using a 16" barrel. i guess a lot of people don't like them as much as the ar15/ar10 platform because of the awkward mag well location and they can be challenging while shooting in prone position.

Inch pattern Lithgow built SLR. Towed that thing all over Waiouru, weighed a ton, but a real pleasure to shoot, less so to clean.

I just saw your sic semper tyrannis MAC. I've already liked and subscribed; I only wish I could register my approval even more.

Love the Tavor-7! It’s my go to moose rifle! It’s great for pushing the bush or operating from an ATV.

The only thing that is keeping me from buying a scar is the price. I can build a very nice ar10 and a whole armor setup for the price of a scar with irons on it. Another thing is how finicky the scar is you can't really change anything other than the rail on a scar without having to tune it. Even upgrading the plastic hinge to metal can affect how it runs

I love the amount of information that you share, it has been very valuable for me. What do you think of the Zev 308?

I've been on the fence as to which 7.62 I wanted to get... the SCAR or the Tavor. I've had both guns in 5.56 and I do like them both. My main dislike on the SCAR is the charging handle and how it cycles with the bolt. I know there are mods out there to change that too... but I also like to go with the path less traveled at times too. That's why I have purchased so many IWI, Kel-Tec, and other brands like this. This video & review have given me multiple reasons to go with the T7... one of which was the Boba hat. The hat just tipped the scale for me! ;-) THIS IS THE WAY!
