I'll look when I get home tomorrowWho is the mfg of the upper receiver?
Upper is DSA.Who is the mfg of the upper receiver?
First 5 letters/numbers of serial number? Any info on where the barrel came from?
Nice stick.
It is a SA 58 1st 4 of the upper aerial is DS27. The barrel has a 13 on the underside, hope this helps.
So I'm kinda still interested in this rifle but I would like some additional info/pics if you are willing. I recently purchased another FAL variant but it is an unfired IMBEL manufactured example from 1988 so I'm thinking I might need another one in the safe to keep the virginity of the IMBEL model intact.
The DS prefix receivers were manufactured by LMT and were forged instead of cast like the later receivers made in house by DSA. DS prefix receivers are more desirable. The Grayslake receivers are more desirable than the Lake Barrington marked ones.
Most of the early DS prefix rifles were built with matching Steyr STG58 kits. Later they began adding US made barrels and parts as the kits began to dry up. Are there any additional proof marks under the barrel beneath the hand guard? If you remove the hand guard and look on the barrel it would have either STlf3 ,VCL , KAL or the FN egg and crown. If it is any of the 1st 3 , then it's Steyr. If the egg and crown it is Belgian (FN).
The lower you say is Rhodie. Did you add it or was it previously on the rifle when you acquired it? The South African guns sent to Rhodesia were sanitized of their marks since there was an arms embargo in place at that time. Once received, Rhodesians marked their weapons with their own serial numbers. These electro stenciled serial numbers with a "RA" prefix help show that the parts were in Rhodesian Army service. They were marked in the following locations: the bolt, the bolt carrier, the upper receiver, and the lower receiver.
I realize it sometimes a pain with photos on this site, but if you can add a few, I would greatly appreciate it.
The lower's serial number starts with ZA.
It is.Is this still available?
