What about the front retaining lip Vince? I never realised that there was difference in the rear catch part. They'd be an ideal candidate for .22" sub calibre conversions
Interesting point regarding the new .22 conversion kit fal mags, they are new manufactured examples from South Korea apparently. They fit and function just fine in my L1A1, locks in in rock solid, but are just way too tight to lock in place on my friends Imbel Fal!
So the metric fits the inch fine, but won't fit the metric without some adjustment to the rear of the shell, go figure..
Out of interest, I know Fal magazine's could be used in the L1 in an emergency, were there any official SASC tests to verify how they affected the function Peter?
Not that I know of. Are the new .22" mags you talk of new 7.62mm mags with .22" inserts or new made AS .22" magazines
Afternoon Peter, Ray imported new 7.62 Fal mags from South Korea and converted them with the .22 mag insert kits.Quote:
