Think Taidi had a couple of sets when they got the Brownings
Ah now now, Beemer… settle.
You don’t have to be the first kid on the block to get a full woody.
Had some amazing grenade launchers too!
i saw those…
But the price was a bit too high…
Quite happy with my cut down Aliexpress cheapy…!
Edward good wood. Definitely do able for sure, take a bit of handwork.
They make a sa58 with a full length handguard Classic Army SA58 Full Size FAL Gel Blaster | Tactical Edge – Tactical Edge Hobbies , from there you could attach the wood furniture without modification and remove the bird cage muzzle brake and attach a proprietary threaded external barrel to resemble the 11’ inch barrel and then finally borrow the muzzle brake from the m14 and your l1a1 looking rifle is complete
Oh, if only it was this easy
The idea of converting an SA58 into a half decent L1A1 has been kicked around for years. Have a gander a few posts up and you’ll see the discussion about converting an SA58.
There are lots of differences in the receiver that stop it being a good candidate for an accurate replica. Ain’t no place for a top pic rail on an accurate FAL.
It’ll be close, which may be the best we can hope for… but it won’t be quite right.
I mean, you could even just extend the outer barrel and be done, later FALs did have polymer furniture anyway. But if you’re going wood, you really want that receiver to be correct.
That was my plan.
Tac edge have long since sold out…It looked like Azraels had one, but it turns out they were sold out too…
Then, the furniture kit.
It was sold out everywhere.
Hero outdoors ( Canadian) were advertising it as being available…
I ordered it…turns out they didn’t have it in stock, and gave me a refund.
So, i kinda just left the whole project…not a huge MUST HAVE item for me.
At least, M-60’s are now available again, for you to purchase…
Yeah, it’ll always be one that plenty want.
Taidi were the closest with their FAL hybrid long boy… but even that was pretty inaccurate.
Shame you can’t get a hold of one of those… mill the pic rail off the top of the receiver, wooden furniture… pretty close.
I’m guessing you were affiliated with the store somehow…
Good luck to you…!,
Good to see the custom pieces…they make the hobby interesting…
Everyone has their “must have” models…
That’s an SA80
Where TF did you get that?
Aint no SLR for sure
That is pretty cool they are about to get rid of the HK upgraded L85A3
Moving to the LMT AR’s last I heard same as NZ
Looks like you’re lucky enough to have some pretty unique units there.
Are they gel blasters or are they non-firing replicas?
Yeah… my bad
Very cool to see different blasters popping their heads up on here.
Gettin’ just a bit jaded with the current offerings… which is why it’s good to have Rok and AKG onboard. Access to something different.
Have to call you Keyser Soze…!!
" And, just like that…he’s gone…"
Some very nice pieces there @SoS66
I am surprised there hasn’t been SA80 / L85 in gel yet. Apart from yours obviously!
Wouldn’t be a huge seller but there would be those that couldn’t say no!
Yea, being a big bullpupper, I’m droolin’ over the SA80.
