The following is a list of Alpha articles on the FAL rifle. Many different members of Alpha produced these articles and I felt they needed to be in one folder because the information they cover is so varied. Also I for one like to have all the good stuff about a subject in one spot so I don’t have to wander around looking for it. There are many FAL’s out there and we felt we needed to supply pertinent information to those who might need it. Below you will find links to several articles we generated and felt would be useful as resources.
