So...went to the range today.
« on: September 02, 2011, 11:44:54 PM »
Yup....and I fired my FN-FAL  8)

I am extremely happy with the recoil reduction... though I am maintaining the video footage for a futer....contest entry muhahahahahah  muhahahahaha  muhahahahah

quite surprisingly there wasn't that much of a fireball at all.

The only thing I can say was about 5 inches to the right at 100 yards... any idea how to fix it? if I can't I'll just end up throwing a rail and some optics on it.

Hmm, thats some serious adjustment on your sites?? Do you see any Misalignment or crooked parts or items? If Not, I'd say disassemble the site assembly and see if thier is  way to more the front or rear site inthe right direction to adjust?? In many cases the Front can be adjusted more easily on COO Block, on a Fal, It would see easier to corrct by the rear sire for Both Elevation and Windage! Adding an Optic is one way but doesn't fix your origional problem!!!

Yes, for sure between what the rear and front site will adjust you should be able to get rid of that 5" problem?? Fal, I thonk asks ya to corrct from the rear site but It's been many moons since I had a fal in my hands? Yes, I got the E-mail and sent a responce Aol and e-mails not too reliable right now it seems?

There are two flat head screws that can be loosened/tightened on the rear site block shifting it left & right. I'm sure with a little bit of tinkering and some fun I will get her perfectly zero's, this still leaves me with the current want ( that I hope will go away ) to mount optics.

YUP, man, You really need to spend some time looking over the Rear Site assembly before ya go back to the range, see what moves what where? Then you will have a Better idea, then when you do Hit the range move in like 50-100 yard and go a Bacic Site inand then adgust for range? I'm Recoment a few folks to Help ya site it back in, as well as a Medium Range Spotting scope, can ya go Optics on a fal, sure, But you have to ask yourself, WHY?? Was the Arm to the Free world and yes the Brits added optics as a few others did but with Millions sold and used, thats a Minority, for  a reason??? Thaink about it? Man?
