Interesting Jim, did you fit a C1 TMH to fit the C1 butt?
I had a 1A1 for a while, its now with another member.
An interesting, if rather rough rifle.
I remember being somewhat surprised that a SUIT top cover wouldn't fit, literally Jammed solid halfway on!
Yep, a curious beast, Fal back end, with non tabbed top cover and a sort of low quality Inch pattern copy front end.
It has the look and feel of a Khyber pass special, with everything just not quite right...
They make a very interesting study if any member has one to share images of?
It goes without saying that FN were absolutely bloody furious that their design was blatantly stolen and the Indians were forced to reach an agreement with FN regarding payment, plus orders for Fals and Australian and British L1A1's.
