The common opinion is that an American made FAL will not make it to the end of many 2-gun matches.
I wonder why.
Willard suspects that following FN's directions on setting the gas regulator is the problem.
FN says you should start with the regulator wide open and fire single rounds until the bolt locks open on an empty magazine then close it two more clicks.
I go three.
This works great for a range toy.
Willard closes his all the way and, like a man, takes the increase in recoil.
There's something to his theory. Using all the gas all the time means it's going to keep running until it just can't anymore. That's a lot farther than if you use half the gas and it keeps getting dirty.
I also wonder if it's the proliferation of the short gas tube on American made guns. As sloppy as the threads in the gas block are, I can see that thing being soldered in crooked. Just enough that it balks when it gets dirty, but not so much that a casual range session sees it.
But I'm too darn old to enter a match to prove mine will make it. Timing out on every phase because I can't run doesn't really test the rifle much.
