The American FAL: Harrington & Richardson T48 (w/ Larry Vickers)
Re: The American FAL: Harrington & Richardson T48 (w/ Larry Vickers)
Interesting to see another version of an old friend. Noticing the similarities and differences between that example and what I carried for much of my career. The charging handle is a strange beast, I think I prefer the folding version we had in UK. I noted their comments on dirt getting in the action when locking open on empty, which of course is a feature the L1A1 did not have, you had to manually lock the action open by pushing a button in front of the trigger guard. Also having a "ramp" rear sight that does not fold seems odd.

Very enjoyable. I think we're all jealous of Ian's job and knowledge.

Very interesting.
Larry looks like he's lost a ton of weight.
I hope he's OK...
