Something doesnt quite look right about that RIF and I cant put my finger on it.  Dimensions seem slightly off, think the mag is too long for a start.  Meh, I have a GBBR version anyway :)

Now the $64000 question, go for the King Arms or wait for the LCT version? Curious as to how long they take to get the KA out to retailers.

Looks to be an interesting year for FALs then. My money is one whoever puts out a decent L1A1 first.

The idea of LCT making mags for the FAL worries me after their issues with G3 mags.

Interested in a folding stock FAL myself, would probably take a similar view and go with whichever came out first. King Arms can be stingy with the provision of certain variants. For about a decade you could get a Galil SAR no problem at all but a Galil ARM was a nightmare to find in stock.

Extremely valid point. Had a G3 from them a few years ago and couldn't get it to reliably feed on midcaps. Similar problems with their newer HK33. Tried even going to the extent of attempting three aftermarket hop units. One wouldn't fit the aeg, the other would but the magazine wouldn't lock in.  Third made no improvement over the stock unit. Ending up flogging them to someone at a heavy loss that was happy to put up with Hicaps only.  It would be too easy for them to be cross compatible. 

 

Still as above, should be a good year for FN FALs. Potentially two AEG models and VFC bringing out some tacticool options on their GBBR line.

Also a bit surprised to see not even a basic ETU/MOSFET included for an updated old gun. This is kind of becoming standard on allot of new AEGs, and King Arms have done this with other guns such as their old Thompsons. 

Will have to wait and see. The Facebook post describing it as a Ver. 2, might mean an internal tweak or two. Hoping it's closer to the Thompson than say the Galil series.

See on the company's Facebook page that they have the RIS handguards as coming back into stock. Would be a positive sign. Imagine scope mount rails aren't far behind.
