Looking for a SLR (FN FAL) to buy

[Kit Jackson]

I’ve been playing airsoft for not too long and I would really like to buy an SLR. If anyone has one for sale and would make a deal, then I would be happy to oblige. My tops spending is £200.

Good luck finding a FAL for that price ?

Maybe a boneyard one that needs repairs...

 

[Kit Jackson]

Yeah budget is kinda low, little low on that now. Good idea though.

How much was your M16 and Ares L1A1?

 

[EDcase]

M16 was £199 HERE

I got the L1A1 in this forum classifieds but can't remember the price.  I think around £270

 

[Tackle]

there was one on zin recently for £250 I think, dunno if its still available ?

edit: it was this one, unfortunately he dropped the price to £200 & it sold bloody quick.

Click to shrink...

That looks quite good

KitJackson: If you went for that you'd have to ask them to reduce fps to 350 or be prepared to change the spring yourself.

Also can look for an SA58...?

Same as above with a different name I think

Stretching the budget just a weee bit...

(again, ask about limiting fps or change yourself)

(Shorter is actually more practical if you intend to skirmish it)

 

[Druid799]

I’ve actually got one my self and it is a dam fine gun for the money , it’s a copy of the classic army SA58 big difference though is the JG has an electric blowback which whilst not delivering any noticeable recoil it does make a very satisfying noise when you fire it ! ?

 

[Kit Jackson]

Cheers to everyone who is helping me, really useful.

 

[Druid799]

Further to this bud the wknd warrior one IS THE EXACT SAME ONE !and there asking £100 more for it ! F**k that for a game of soldiers ! ?

if you were to buy one from Gunfire they will down-grade it for you so your warranty is safe .? 

 

[Kit Jackson]

Druid 799 by any chance do you have any photos of this weapon. Does it have a rail or is it just smooth metal. Is the barrel long and is the stock non adjustable because that would be idea ? 

 

[Druid799]

The one Gunfire are selling is the exact one I’ve got (except I bought mine from Taiwan gun 2yrs ago) mine looks just like the one in there pictures .?

 

[Kit Jackson]

Ok i’ll Keep it in mind, thanks for looking.

All of these are really good ideas and that’s all of you for looking, i’m Still looking for something closer the the SLR form the 70s and early 80s. I could probably stretch my budget to £300 but that’s pushing it  

 

[Druid799]

I’ve also got a king arms FAL carbine that I’ve modded to look like an L1A1 (was my baby when I was in) so started off like this ;

[Kit Jackson]

That looks fucking beautiful. I am probably gonna do what you did, it looks great!

Where did you buy the fal carbine?

 

[Druid799]

I got mine 3-4yrs ago from the dodgy fecker that runs the shop at my local site !

Could be a steal:

for a proper SLR your only choice these days is the Ares one as the KA version has been discontinued for years and is very rare . No one else makes a proper SLR or anything close to the correct length
