Finally got out to the range to break in my new CAI FAL. I have been "Jonesing" for an FAL for quite some time and decided to jumo at the chance to pick up one of the CAI FALs for $720.00. I read all the mixed reviews on CAI rifles, but have had good success with my Golani Sporter so figured I would roll the dice one more time with one of their builds. I loaded both mags with 147 grain FMJ and headed out to Omelanden. Set the target at 25 yards and squeezed the trigger. Everthing worked great and the gun was a hoot to shoot. I went through 60 rounds of 308 without any issues what so ever. This rifle was quite accurate as well. I will post pictures later of my groupings. I am actually thinking of selling a few of my other rifles to buy another FAL and add some optics and wood furniture. This is hands down one of the most fun guns I have shot, right up there with my Golani. I had a grin on my face the whole ride home For the price this is an awesome rifle.
Finally got some pictures of the grouping for the FAL. I also used this target for my Galil. The center grouping is the FAL, the outer top and bottom right diamonds are from grouping from my Galil at 50 yrds. The other diamond is from my Mini 14 (yes I know, based on this I need to work on zeroing this rifle in )
