He did indeed.. and I asked if it was an LMG version of the FAL since it looks like a FALGamematt wrote:

[edit] To contribute something, the only gun I've ever held was an AR-15 (was not allowed to shoot it).
I was amazed at how light it was and it felt easy to handle/aim steadily.
Originally it was a FAL LMG that Israel developed. The two most distinct differences are the front hand guard and the longer, heavier barrel (24in instead of the more common 21in). The SAR 48s came along when Israel surplussed the rifles and sold them to Springfield Armory, who disabled the full-auto feature and converted them for civilian use. The rifle is one heavy, cumbersome mother but it is accurate as hell and does an amazing job of absorbing the recoil.FloppY_ wrote:

I figured that a LMG fireing .308 is accurate... But I'm guessing it might not be the cheapest thing to fire!mcgid1 wrote:

.308 ammo isn't as bad as some others. Still, I don't shoot it much cause there aren't that many with a SAR 48 designation and it's more of a collector's item than anything else. A perfectly functional and accurate collector's item, but a collector's item none the less.FloppY_ wrote:

There were more countries that issued the FAL LMG, Canada comes to my mind. Shame though, Israel tarnished the FAL's reputation by not cutting some simple dust grooves in the bolt.mcgid1 wrote:

They did cut those groves in later models to mixed results. Ultimately, the FAL didn't make a great LMG because it had a 20 round clip with a high rate of fire. And I know that more countries that just Israel issued FAL LMG's, but all the SAR 48s were built off of the Israeli guns and are covered in Hebrew markings. Also, the Israelis "tweaked" the FALs into their version of the gun in much the same way they "tweaked" the AK design into the Galil.Lai wrote:
