Hi folks,

I have been posting original FAL stuff for years now. Still receive many questions on items that i already posted. Somehow it seems to be impossible to get a sticky on my inventory. Breaks my hart to see a "sticky" on a Dutch clone... Serious?

So, since i'm stuck with a lock down in Belgium due to the virus, i'll make one for you. And sorry allready for "GP", some pics are in High resolution. I tought collectors would love it for research. Sorry if his blood pressure rises for that.

All you see is 100% original, NO clones, no builds, just real deal as reference.
Her we go...

HUh? Pics of your attic aren't useful to me.

I have saved some of your images for reference, but until Jen sells it to me, the Fal Files, it will remain a mess of completely unorganized data.

Without an internal hosting ability, when FF goes away, all the knowledge we have collected here will be gone.

Yeah, when I said "picture of your attic isn't useful", I meant it. I've seen the guns before. A bunch of guns from 3 meters away means nothing.

What is useful is the closeup of the rivets on a Holland front sight, where I can print it, and using ratio and proportion, calculate the exact position to drill on a reproduction gas block.

Or variations in a Congolese FN - tall vs short sights, type 1 or 2 stripper clip cover - these are the things I save in my fal-paco-whatever-25.jpg library.

What makes this version different than that version, is useful. A wide view of "look how cool I am with all these guns" picture does nothing but stroke your ego.

 

[paco]

A wide view of "look how cool I am with all these guns" picture does nothing but stroke your ego.

Hey GP, i'm always cool.

On the other hand, i like to help and share with people.
Next time, just ask to mesure it for you. No problem.
