I seem to recall the Israelis having functioning issues with the FAL because of fine dust.


Isn’t that why the British did the sand cuts to the bolt carriers of their L1A1s?

Allegedly yes. My bolt carrier came from an L1A1 and has the sand cuts.

I have read that Israel had some issues with them in the desert during the '67 War (IIRC). I love the rifle. The StG58 is my favorite version. I have two built on the old LMT/DSA receivers and they are fine rifles.

I used to have one. Great guns. I liked it a lot, but using a normal, comfortable stance it turned out the rear sight was a little too close to my face. Twice it smacked my glasses and scratched them pretty bad. I sold it a while later.
