    Default FN FAL magazines

    A good month for FN FAL magazine purchases:

    A 30 rounder from Bruce Wentzel (ex 7.62 Bren gun presumably) and two NOS unused still in wrapper standard magazines from Classic Arm's last auction, though I paid through my ring for those.

    Those are some toothy hens you have there ;-). Just in case you haven't seen them, there is someone on the huntandgun auctions who frequently puts up FAL mags including 30 rounders.

    Thanks for the heads-up. I note that there have been quite a few FAL magazines sold via HuntandGun.

    In the year since I have had the FAL, apart from the two magazines the rifle came with and a Rhodesian one my father used, I have managed to purchase another eleven 20 round magazines.

    The 30 round magazine is more for curiosity purposes and probably too unwieldy for practical use - Bruce said only load it with 28 rounds else it feeds unreliably.

    That is with 100 % certainty a real deal original 30 rounder for an FAL. It is an excellent choice when you really want to get your opponent's attention with a frantic but most satisfactory magdump.
