Right on. Good luck on your quest. FAL Files Marketplace is also a treasure trove for parts.

Outstanding, eternal. Very cool rifle, and that paint job looks like absolute shit- just the way it should.

Our DSA built DSA/Imbel and one of the best running FALs I've ever owned. Just mounted a Redfield Revolution 2-7 and hope to make it to the range for an evaluation in a few days. |

So pumped, almost done. Waiting on the locking shoulder then hopefully soon take it out to stretch its legs. |

H&R came up with something similar for triangular handguards that got support from a metal band which wrapped around the outside. This one works fine on all vent holes on a set of SA handguards that I have on another rifle, but it required a bit of file work to fit where I have it on these IMBEL handguards. Bipod-cut handguards also don't quite fit right and it definitely won't fit through the front hole at all. I strongly prefer this method of mounting over the barrel mount for carrying, tactical sling use, and, of course, for slinging up to support the rifle. I need to get a repro made so I can take it off and put it away given how rare it is. A repro with a QD swivel cup at the bottom would be even better. I'll post a picture of it by itself later. In the meantime, my rifle got a bit dirty playing in the mud at Cola Warrior last month: |

Love it man, did some searching around looks like impact weapons components makes a qd that could install on FAL handguards. The only downfall would be the 1/2 inch hole needed to fit the qd but it fits flush and looks nice.

I found nothing like that anywhere that’s not a bad design though. It just threads together?

I'm shocked I found this one and that no one snagged it before I had the funds in hand. I literally had only seen the one presumably owned by Peter Wells of the South African Arms Collectors Association. He's posted a single picture on the FAL Files and the now-defunct SAAACA site. I've tried in vain to search for any other images of the swivel, or of the DMR R1s still in service fitted with it. Can't find pictures of either. No other info on it besides what Wells posted. This is only the second one I've ever heard of in private hands, and the only one in the U.S., which is part of why I want a replica, so that I can put this one away as it's a collectible. The only things similar are the H&R devices for their T-48 rifles, which are also very, very rare, and I'm not sure that any exist outside of the few H&R rifles or parts kits that are in private hands. The more typical FN T-48 handguards made for that contract usually have something like this, and the assembly looks very similar, but with the plate replaced by the stock itself, which is a one-piece type. Also rare and people want them for T-48 clones. |

All matching stg58 kit on a century receiver (not imbel or fmap) that actually runs, got it for a great deal and was hoping it wouldn’t need a re-build.

Springfield Armory SAR-48, built in Brazil by Imbel.
A pawn shop find in amazing condition considering it was imported in the late 80's. Very low round count apparently with minimal internal wear. It had to come home with me and I wasn't even shopping for an FAL. The fit and finish on this Imbel built FAL is nicer than any FN built FAL I've seen. Shoots great too, such a beast !!
