maccrage Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Sorry for the kind of change in subject, but is the carry handle durable on the long version of the FAL? Will it break off etc. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, I just stood here and shook mine by the handle pretty hard, and its still fine. It's made from a pretty beefy piece of metal. Edit: The carry handle is steel. Just magnet tested it. Link to post Share on other sites
OverKiller93 Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Thanks maccrage. The long version looks pretty good, but I have found any other videos of the FAL other than the one on youtube. I must have more!!!! Link to post Share on other sites
ArronT Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Thanks for maccrage's L1A1 handguards , here are some photos: Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Love the textural look of those handguards! Link to post Share on other sites
maccrage Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Looks great! Glad to know they made it. Link to post Share on other sites
ruvon Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 So this is a good thing then. That the L1a1 is still to be released. The wife picked up the FN FAL in the shop we do buisness at and wanted it. So thats hers, and then when the real deal is released...IT SHALL BE MINE MUW HAHAHA Link to post Share on other sites
Thorvald Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Ah finally, with the L1A1 we can convert it to the Canadian C1! Now if only someone would make the walnut stock and forearm it would be perfect. Can anyone take a pic of how the stock attaches to the King Arms version? Maybe we can adapt a real stock (they are only $85 Cdn each). --- Does anyone know if the L1A1 will be an entire AEG or a conversion kit? Link to post Share on other sites
1st Commando Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 it will be a complete aeg . Due to the very dubious nature of our exemption and the great price i can currently get the FAL for I bit the bullet and bought one yesterday so I look forward to that arriving Link to post Share on other sites
OverKiller93 Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 Does anyone know what the internals are like (for the current FAL that is out)? All I know is that it is a reinforced gearbox and has a high-torque motor but that's it. Pictures would be nice too, but just a short description is enough. If anyone could help me I would appreciate it. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
1st Commando Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 according to sources they are basiclly an upgraded V3 Sig 552 box Link to post Share on other sites
ArronT Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Coming Soon Product from StarAirsoft ~ http://starairsoft.sev76.001at.com/coming/L1A1.htm be aware of the muzzle velocity and rate of fire.... Link to post Share on other sites
Angry Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 I like the idea of the Star, I've been thinking about getting a DMR. I'm just a bit concerned about gearbox jams. Link to post Share on other sites
OverKiller93 Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Last question, when I have compared the long version and carbine version, it looks like the retailers say the long version has a lower FPS but the shorter version has a higher FPS, yet in reviews, people have said their long version are 330 FPS. What's going on here? Is the long version 270-290 FPS or is it 310-330 FPS? I'm really confused here. Link to post Share on other sites
1st Commando Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 from the experiences of users rather than those that have a financial interest, the FPS reports vary beweeen 320 and 340 fps from the box for the long version Link to post Share on other sites
OverKiller93 Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Thanks 1st Commando, I really appreciate it! I think I've made my descision. Link to post Share on other sites
1st Commando Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 your welcome mate, mine will hopefully be here tomorrow too Link to post Share on other sites
foxtrot58_intel Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 i dont think i have ever been so happy to wait and see how a series of guns has played out. usually i would go ahead and buy but i had a feeling there would be a l1a1 developed makes my month anyway Link to post Share on other sites
OverKiller93 Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 It looks as though King Arms have nailed it, they have made a pretty darn good gun! Link to post Share on other sites
DerMann Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Well my gun is still in the process of being upgraded (can't get the bloody thing back together). I sent an e-mail to KA a while back about the hi caps, and they said they had no release date on them, but perhaps February - it's now February and no news Anyone else e-mail them? I'm buying a scope mount this week and this scope next week (or the week after, depending on when I get money): I've got a Guarder 110 in it, but I haven't been able to test it yet (gun is literally in pieces right now). Once I've got the gun together I'm thinking about epoxying the stock shut to try and fix some of the wobble. Will post more in the future. Link to post Share on other sites
1st Commando Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Mine arrived yesterday and I have to say I'm impressed. I'm lucky as mine feels solid with nowobble or cracks although I can see the weak point where the stock meets reciever and there is a large seem. The gun has a nice sound when fired and is very positive. I will try and write up a full reiew when I'm not half asleep Link to post Share on other sites
DerMann Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 There really isn't a huge wobble, but when you put the 9.6v in, it is kind of noticable. I just like my guns to be rock solid. Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 And that's why I'm looking forward to the Skeleton stock. Hopefully they'll fix that issue. Link to post Share on other sites
1st Commando Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 ahh yes that is something else......... I'm a big 9.6v fan due to liking snappy single shots and liking a good quick reaction of the gearbox for 3 rnd bursts. When testing my FAL I used a 8.4v 4300mah pack and found the ROF to be as high as most guns would fire on 9.6v if not a little more Link to post Share on other sites
DerMann Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Just sent KA an inquisitive e-mail: Evening, I was just looking through my inbox and found this e-mail again. It is now more than a month later since I last e-mailed you. Is there any update on the high capacity magazines for the FAL series? You've released information about new FAL variants - such as the L1A1 and para versions - but you've yet to release even a single word about the most important accessory to the AEG, the magazine. You've even released the rail kit, which is completely useless without a good sized magazine. The FAL is a really great AEG, however it's being held back by the magazine capacity. I believe it was quite foolish to release an AEG without any way to reliably load it. I urge you to put forth more effort into this simple item. If you were to release them next week, they would sell very quickly - I know for a fact that I'm planning to buy two or three as soon as they come out. However, people are reselling their FALs because of the simple fact that they can only buy 89 round magazines, which are not very convenient for skirmish use - I know two or three people personally who sold their FAL for this very reason. Please divulge some sort of concrete evidence that you guys have not completely forgotten about the single most important accessory to an AEG. Many thanks for your time, -Josh K Will post reply when I get it (I'm wagering one to two weeks time). Link to post Share on other sites
1st Commando Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 I don;t think most players put quite that importannce on a hicap mag whatever floats your boat though I would say a nice box of cheap midcaps might be nice to make them affordable to more players Link to post Share on other sites
