The Right Arm of the Free World Lives On at DSArms


If that's correct, they are the only manufacturer left making the FALs.

I remember the Coonan, Enterprise, Century, Imbel, and the Argentine plant that made FAL receivers back during old times.

I know that the times have changed but I thought the Imbel still had the capacity to make them again but I guess not now.

In reality,  it's the only one we've ever needed.  Except for poors.

It seems they are still improving and making more and more awesome reproductions of some famous FALs.

I mean who thought 20 years ago in 2026 you could buy a brand new FALO or Rhodie inspired R1ish clone or a OSW.

They even made that cool pinned SAP rifle repro.

I say good on DSA for focusing on improving their product when every other company is tripping over each other to make a new polymer pistol or AR.

Mine was 375 bucks, STG/Imbel ban era gun.   Little did we know those were the good old days.
Old bbl stub included.
The thing just keeps working

PSA's H&R was making a T48 clone not long ago, OOS now

No idea if it is any good.

Yes, that was a joint PSA-DSA project, though I think PSA’s contribution was limited to the H&R name and the exclusive sales rights.  I wonder if there’s a time limit on that, if DSA will be able to make a SA58-T48 as long they don’t use H&R on it anywhere.  Have to be more affordable.

Imbel still lists a para FAL on their website but I have no idea if they actually make any, the IA2 is their newer hotness.  Maybe someone should get Springfield to try to import some Imbel sporters.

Yeah, Imbel has their hosting screwed up a little bit, but a foreign gun manufacturer doing that is not surprising here in 2026.

Some new Imbels would be incredible!
