Installing your DSArms Extreme Duty FAL Scope Mount

[@shrike30]

I would have loved this video 15 years ago. Still totally valid :)

[@JohnCBobcat]

Is there a preferred torque limit? I realize the instruction was "be careful not to over-torque the screws" but approximately what qualifies "over-torque"?

[@dsainc]

30 inch pounds is what we would recommend but honestly snug them and do an 1/8 of a turn and use blue locktite

[@JohnCBobcat]

@@dsainc many thanks!

[@williaml39]

Just tighten it till you hear a snap and then back it off a quarter turn. How to torque to spec 101.

[@christopherbost5387]

I got some button head hex screws from Fastenal and used blue threadlock. Button heads mount flush and look better than the slot screws.

[@1968usaf]

What size screws did you use?

[@1968usaf]

@BUTCH NOWAK Thanks

[@1968usaf]

I found these on Ebay. $3.91 for a pack of 10 with free shipping.

[@Milkman3572000]

Part number anyone?

[@glennarnold4108]

Suggest you show how this is done with the PARA version; both standard cover and this newer cover, since more and more PARA versions are sold. Excellent idea for another demo here. Also a demo on PARA stock assembly, install and removal please. 👍

[@jburgess6576]

You have to buy the specific rail for para model, I learned the hard way.

[@glennarnold4108]

JBurgess Yes I know that already. It’s the very reason I made the suggestion. I’ll let DSA respond with more demos like I-asked/suggested since that’s who I made the suggestion to.

No domino el ingles pero con lo que entendi me sirvio mucho tu clase Master. Thank you!

[@eduardolimaargimon5499]

Wonder if this would fit our imbel MD97 Its literally an FAL with a firing pin, extractor and barrel changed for 556. But the external parts are all of the Imbel Para fal

[@dubb5508]

I have this dustcover. It's nice. But I found its hard to clean inside the receiver when you can't take off the dust cover. It's gotta be a pain unscrewing it everytime it needs a cleaning.

[@dsainc]

The FAL does not require in depth cleaning often so the access to the receiver with our mount installed is amble for what the fal needs in normal cleaning.

[@Odessa45]

Use a spray can of brake & parts cleaner ... the stuff you can buy at any auto parts retailer. It'll blast the crud out of the rifle, no problem. CRC Brakleen is your friend ;)

[@Milkman3572000]

I concur with DSA. 99% of people overclean. That can damage a rifle. The FAL is not an AR. Use common sense here, drop it in a lake, sure it needs cleaned ASAP. And stop loaning your FAL to Robski.

[@alexburnside7838]

Will you lose your zero when you take this off and re attach it? I want to buy this however every time I shoot my rifle I clean it very thoroughly and this covers up what the dust cover usually covers so I’d want to take it off for cleaning.

[@dsainc]

You will have a shift a small one this is meant to stay on as much as possible and the FAL does not need the over cleaning you are performing over cleaning can wear guns a lot more than you would think

[@Helghastdude]

is it shorter than a L1a1 top cover? Right now i have a scope mount from leapers installed, but it is 2mm shorter than the original dust cover.

[@masterman045]

Does it fit on a surplus Royal Small Arms L1A1?

[@andersondesouza5633]

Very good.👍

[@Odessa45]

MOAR LOKTITE MOAR MOAR MOAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@07slowbalt]

I have a century arms l1a1 and my dust cover needs to be replaced. Will this extreme duty mount fit on my rifle?

[@dsainc]

It will if the receiver is within spec and most likely it will be

[@jamesbuckley6951]

I have a heavy barrel Israeli FALO what do you recommend?

[@svarrekevin3863]

Alguien sabe de algun video para montar el guardamano con riel picatinny para FN FAL????? please!

[@mikeg2092]

Probably easier to do with the lower receiver removed. And I'm assuming this will work on the Voyager line as well?

[@Steinstra-vj7wl]

Good advice DSA? As I was wondering too how anyone installs them little plates way up in there?

[@zxg-tuto5205]

Does it fit in an Argetinian FAL/FSL ?

[@blessed633]

Will these fit metric imbel fal?

[@dsainc]

yes fits imbel great

[@biergarten1358]

Will this work with the heavy barrel Israeli models

[@dsainc]

yes it will

[@2TimeGarage]

Why are these so hard to install my lord spent 3 hours doing nothing

[@Kettlewulf]

Try installing the mlok handguard.

[@AWZ1287]

3 hours yikes, what made it take so long

[@2TimeGarage]

@anthonyz.4560 trust me it was not easy

[@الهيبةالجنوبية]

FN FAL ✌✌✌

[@moemaster1966]

Buy 3 bottles of loctite and a rag to wipe up the mess

[@jamesgothard3488]

Can someone tell me what glue he is using? I just bought an scope mount for my FAL and would like to know what that stuff is that's he is using for the screws.

[@googleuser9013]

Loctite blue. just google that and you find it.

[@lyfandeth]

Permatex Loctite is the usual product in the US. You might want to check their web site. The blue product can be unscrewed with just a little effort. The red product, if applied to clean metals, needs to be heated to break the bond before you can remove it. The product has, IIRC, a two year total life, or one year after opening. They also make a new series that are like lipsticks, those can't leak and should have a longer shelf life. There are other good brands of thread lock. The important thing is to alcohol clean the screw a d hole threads first.

[@AutodidactEngineer]

What if I want to keep the original smooth hand guard because I don't like the look of the "Tacticool" handguard that comes with the kit?

[@mrnic3058]

I’ve looked quite a lot and I don’t think there are any new scopes being made for FALs that don’t use pic rails

[@AutodidactEngineer]

@@mrnic3058 :(

[@hansstrouf]

The FN Fal had its own rail and optics, the rail was fixed on the cover of the breech, the Sa FN SAFN had a rail and a magnificent optical aim FN with the rail, DSA invents what FN Herstal was doing 50 years ago (FN should redo modernised FN Fal in accordance with the Look of the enceint , I like a heavy rifle it is more accurate, may the majority reproach the weight and recoil, today FN is able to improve it's unjustified reproach, the problem is the price, I imagine that FN studies the replacement of the SCAR that will fall into the public domain, 20 it's too short for a patent , HK will immediately copy the SCAR h

[@dsainc]

FN never made a mount like our the South Africans did and ours is based off that not an FN

[@Terminxman]

I don't even know what you were trying to say here

[@justlookingaround]

@@Terminxmanyep it was hard to read.

[@Steinstra-vj7wl]

Cumbersome way of installing and fixing a scope mount...while the original cover just slides off and on.

[@dsainc]

If you want it rigid then you need this style slide on mounts are sloppy by nature

[@Steinstra-vj7wl]

@@dsainc Needs a dust cover too.

[@TheChibitodd]

You still make shit mags.
