What would be metric other than barrel threads that I would need to be concerned about?Originally Posted by bradbn4
The DS SA-58 is a nice rifle, looks a lot like the 'normal' FAL. Depending on the configuration will give different ergonomics, etc. I have played with the DSA SA58 18" PARA style rifle and while heavy a nice build. It takes the metric style mags, and uses some of the same metric style hardware.
At the time I had my hands on the hardware I did not have access to ammo or a place to shoot. My opinion is I rather have a new build over a metric parts kits with mis-matched parts. The rifle was picked up via Aim Surplus and was about discounted 400 off the list price. For the price that was paid I thought it was worth while hardware. A bit heavy to lug for deer hunting, but will up to the task. With the adj gas port (not sure if feature on all models), you could dial in what is needed to handle different ammo.
