M1A Socom CQB Review

My lack of an M1A is the chink in my cultural armor.

Folks should be aware that Springfield Armory imported and sold IMBEL FALs from Brazil (like the early SA 1911 frames) as the SAR-48 (pre-ban) and SAR-4800 (post-ban), in both .308 and 5.56, back in the day.

SAR 48 The Springfield Armory FAL

This article takes a look at the SAR48 FAL. A FAL was created in Brazil and imported into the US by Springfield Armory.

Beautiful rifle you have there.

Thank you.

That's what I call firearm acquisition goals right!

Have I told you that I'm overseeing a program for people that want to donate their FALs to less fortune people that don't have them "aka" me?

10mm I'd like to add my name to that less fortunate list for FALs.

Not an FAL but I threw this .308 AR-10 together tonight.

Since the "Golden Era" of foreign FAL parts imports/builds in the late 90's - very early 2000's the only source of FALs in the US has been DSA (A fellow IL business), but since SA has had a history of importing Brazilian IMBEL FALs, SA should bring the old SAR-series back (both in .308 & 5.56) since Brazil still makes the FAL in both calibers.

SA would reclaim the "Best of both Worlds" theme as per the old ad above, and reinvigorate the FAL aftermarket.

IMO, they would sell many, many more new SAR-48s than they would M1As. Just a hint...

A good friend of mine had an excellent condition SAR rifle that he bought brand new when SA was offering them. He was in the process of moving to a new place in a different state and he gave his firearms to his brother for safe keeping but unfortunately some scumbag broke into his brother's house and stole all of his firearms.
