How much experience do you have with FALs?
I am considering mounting some optics on my FN.

Friends dad has one of these KelTec RFB rifles chambered in 7.62. This thing is a monster and because it's a bullpup it's super accurate while maintaining a small package. LINK

FAL's are not real easy to mount optics on, but if you get the right stuff, you can make them pretty darn accurate.

Thanks.
That mount looks like it will handle some abuse & I like the extended rail for adjusting eye relief.
I will have to find a few positive reviews before I try it out.

Mount on a para. Try FALfiles for more info.

I love a FAL, its usage and stories especially out of Rhodesia, but it is a 3MOA rifle and will cost you a lot of money to get tighter than that.

Some guys mark the screws on the mount so in the unlikely case they start to back out you can see.

I'm not trying to turn it into a tack driver, that's what they make bolt guns for.
I just wanna be able to pile up hogs like firewood!

Maybe try this on the FAL, I have one on a 308 AR I use for hogs.
