Nice FAL you picked up, looks good! Bought a DSA 21" Bush Tracker with the Rhodesian Brushstroke Cerakote a few months back. So far my sample has been reliable with no issues. It's a fun rifle to shoot. I haven't tried the polymer magazines and have avoided them since they dont have a good reputation. DSA occasionally has steel magazines in stock, but only the brushstroke cerakote variants and they are charging 69 dollars a pop. Northridge Inc sells pairs of FAL aluminum and/or steel surplus magazines with a pouch. They are kind of pricey as well, but they usually have some in stock. Happy Hunting!
I admire the classic 21" barrel DSA/FAL. Thoughts to ponder: why are FAL mags are so "rare" and expensive, and why are G3 mags still cheap, even in 2023?
Not that I’ve looked into it at great depth but really does seem odd. G3 mags are not only extremely widely available by comparison and also go for like a tenth of the price.

Thanks for watching and the heads up about another mag source; hadn’t heard of that one!
Looks clean
Yeah they did a good job with it.
I have an OG Rhody FAL and a DSA early 00s Austrian kit

G3 mags are a lot easier to find which is interesting
Sure would be nice if FAL mag availability was more like G3.
What about accuracy?
Once you go FULL Rhodesian there's no going back Mate.
These are all brand new. Alright quality. There really aren’t a ton Of other options unless you buy a Imbel or Indian kit.
Poly mags are trash
