Designed by Dieudonne Saive of Fabrique Nationale, the Fusil Automatique Leger (FAL) is an much improved design upon the earlier FN 49 rifle.
One of the most rugged and easy battle rifles to maintain and operate. During its height it was carried by over 90+ countries and manufactured by more than 10.
Chambered by FN in 7.62x51 NATO to attract American sales. Was almost adopted by the U.S. in the mid 1950s where it was only marginally displaced in competition by the rifle now known as the M14.
The FAL is found in two different patterns: Metric and Inch.
Known by many designations including: Canada: C1 (inch), Great Britain: L1A1 (inch), Austria: StG58 (shown above) (metric), and West Germany: G1 (metric) to name just a few.
