EOTech 512 on FAL

I bought an EOTech 512.A65 for my AR for work. I believe I am going to like it as, pushing 60, my eyes aren't what they were and they never were very good.

Has anyone got much mileage on an EOTech on an FAL or HK91 type? I am thinking about putting another one on my lightweight DSA/STG carbine. I have one Williams top cover mount left.

I put a 512 on my FAL this spring to run the match Stimpy hosts every year. All the shots are 100 yards or less. Worked quite well for that. If you're shooting further I hope your eyes are better than mine.

I'm sure it'll be no good. Wanna sell that Williams mount?

I'm still willing to bet that somewhere in Western Oregon there is a buttload of those sitting forgotten in several dusty cardboard boxes.

I have used an old Eotech on my FN FAL that I used for 3 gun competition. It is fine for 100 yards or less. And then just get the magnifier for the longer shots.

On my Para it works great with the smaller MOA dot it will do farther than 100 easy with accuracy.
