Rare early (1971) Lithgow full auto L1A1!!

[browningautorifle]

It is an FN/FAL

Yes, that's the FH I was expecting. Since it's the original, the one they designed to be with it, it might do a better job of keeping things steady...I haven't shot one of those on auto so I can't say. Guess I'll have to grab about 1000 rds and we can warm that one up. I remember how to clean them...I still have my kit here...

This rifle is an odd ball since it has an Isreali proof mark on the mag housing. No idea how it got to the US, But I'm glad it did!!! Yes, As I said before - it is a dream to shoot on FA!!! Definately one of my top 2 or 3 favorites.
U'all come on down! We can just exercise the hell out of it! I like shooting pop up targets when ever I get the chance to go to the ranges on the local Army base (which is about anytime I want - pays to know the right people).

Yes, I've seen those too. They would have been there a long way back. I had one here that was about new and just beautiful...that was a long time ago...

Yep, mine is in Exc cond. I doubt it had been shot much before I got it. I know the guy I bought it from had not shot it.
It is still in Exc cond and I shoot it with some frequency. As said before it is one of my favorites. IF the SHTF it is one of several that I would take with me when I headed for the hills!
