RANGE TRIP WITH PARA FAL

**phillyray** · January 16, 2011, 16:59

I made it to the range today to test fire and sight in my new para. I had the gas setting on 4 and it ran perfectly, zero malfunctions! I shot about 120 rounds total, mostly at some steel plates at 150 yards. A couple guys at the range asked me what kind of rifle I was shooting so I had a chance to educate some fella's on what a FAL is and how badass they are. I let one of them take some shots at the plates and he hit everytime, he said "dang dude this thing is awesome! I want one". I thought about telling him how addicting FALs are but I'll just let him figure it out on his own.

Very nice group indeed. I too was shooting this morning. I shot my Imbel and K31 both at 200 meters. Very nice Para there Philly!

How much more drop do you get from a 18" barrel compared to a 21" barrel?

If any, I don't know? I just sighted it in and started shooting.

Is your barrel a factory 18" or is it a shortened 21"?
