Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: As New. 1st Edition. 243 pages. Hardcover with a dust jacket. Almost 350 illustrations. This book is intended as a companion to the three-volume omnibus title The FAL Rifle, which comprises our original studies titled North American FALs (1979), UK and Commonwealth FALs (1…980), and The Metric FAL (1981), initially published as three separate volumse. It is assumed that most purchasers of this new book will already have access to a copy of The FAL Rifle, and therefore we have taken care to ensure that as much as possible of the material herein is new and previously unpublished. New material on various aspects of the FAL rifle has been coming in since shortly after the initial appearance of the The FAL Series. Although received too late for inclusion in the original three volumes, all of this has been carefully archived in contemplation of just such a follow-on book as this. The first part of this book is a new retrospective on the prototypes and ordered models of the FAL as produced by Fabrique Nationale (FN), following the chronological arrangement used in The Metric FAL, which deals with the FAL models of the various countries by inital ordering date. The FAL OREA maintenance manual occupies the central ten chapters of this new book. Very logically laid out with a complete, illustrated breakdown of all the parts within each component group, the manual first establishes a set of inspection standards, and then follows up with detailed repair and replacement procedures for each component, including unbreeching and breeching the barrel. The evolution of the FAL rifle design, is evident throughout the FAL OREA manual. Next we revisit the story of how the FAL was redimensioned and redrawn for production in non-metric oountries. The book concludes with an authoritative retrospective on barrel threads, barrel interchangeability, and official rebreeching instructions for the Canadian C1/C1A1 and British L1A1; an illustration of the investment cast FAL components - including the "type 4" receiver. Very detailed. An excellent study. A Very Fine As New copy.
