I understand that SCAR mags can be interchangeable with FAL.
You can get oem SCAR mags here:

My posts don't count....
They don't give those SCAR mags away... Can they really be interchanged? Would be nice if true!I understand that SCAR mags can be interchangeable with FAL.
You can get oem SCAR mags here:
My quick search says that SCAR mags lack a front beak for the rock in mag well of the FAL and that the SCAR feed lips are longer due to the action.
I have an inch pattern LAR and a metric FAL. I bought a good number of inch mags cheap BITD, but only had 3 metric mags for the FAL that my Dad gave me... Finally found a decent deal on some metric mags a year or two ago (after Covid).
I think inch mags are the hardest to find, metric will work in inch, but not inch in metric. Metric in inch are not as secure, but they work.
Unfortunately they won't.I understand that SCAR mags can be interchangeable with FAL.
You can get oem SCAR mags here:
Fal is rock and lock, scar is straight insert
Dsa, moses mag, and maybe thermold are the only new production fal mags out there
Range Report: bench rest in the center grouping and using sling on top right.
No jams and honestly the only complaint is that its so dam fun to shoot I keep pulling out a new box to reload! Also FWIW the old Turkish ZSR ammo is now being rebranded as buffalo precision ammo, gas tube must be 100% closed or else FTE may occur. Nice low psi ammo which is nice.

Fal mags can be converted to SCAR17 mags, by the addition of a small square hole and flattening the FAL tab on the rear of the mag, however adding that tab to convert a SCAR17 mag to work with a FAL may be tough/more trouble than it was work given the cost of a SCAR17 mag...

The newer FN "Sporter" model won't take the surplus mags. My Son learned this the hard way.
The special sporter mags went for around $75/ea. when imports began.
Very cool!!!

The newly manufactured FN "FAL Sporter" uses a different very expensive mag. My older Son has one. Beautiful rifle, but they should have designed it for the regular .308 FAL magazines !
