Anybody have or know of any metric FAL paratrooper mags sitting around?

The only ones I ever saw were jumping out of a METRIC airplane, while others were standing in line, waiting their turn.


So, seriously, WTF is it with this metric shit? Isn't that just another way to measure inches?

Lemme try again - I tried googling the FAL metric, and got a lot of parts sellers, plus one good explanation that was fantastic except the pictures had been deleted about 12 years ago, so none of it made sense.

Can't you find them online? Or have they shot up in price? I have a box of them around here somewhere...
Prices are fairly good, just having trouble finding them in stock. When I do I've been buying them for between 15 and 25 each. If you find them please do PM me and let me know what you got/price

Oh...you were serious

FALs were originally designed using metric measurements. The Brits decided they could stomach that so the designed the excellent L1A1, but they drew them in inch measurements. The difference is enough that not everything interchanges. Inch mags have a slightly different lock up that metric mags.

Supposedly the inch pattern guns balance a bit better than metric, but I've never handled an inch gun. I cant imagine it's a huge difference.

Shot an Arsenal 107fr for the first time to day. What’s all the hype about these? It was nice but the prices don’t seem to be worth it to me. Maybe I’m crazy

edit: this is the first arsenal of any type that I’ve ever shot.
