Soft cover. Condizione: Near Fine. 1st Edition. 260 pages. Soft covers. UK and Commonwealth FALs" (Volume Two of the FAL Rifle Series) by R. Blake Stevens is the definitive historical and technical reference covering the evolution of the Fabrique Nationale (FN) FAL as adopted by Great Britain, Canada, Australia, and other Commonwealth nations. The work meticulously documents the progression of the rifle in these regions through the following key areas: Explores the rifle's wartime infancy in England, detailing Great Britain's initial development of the bullpup EM-2 and its testing against early FN-designed FAL prototypes. It covers the pressure from the United States to abandon the intermediate .280 cartridge in favor of the T65 round, which ultimately led to the standardization of the 7.62x51mm NATO cartridge. Details Canada's pioneering involvement with the platform, as they were the first Commonwealth nation to adopt and produce the FAL (known as the C1 and the C2 heavy-barrel squad automatic weapon). Chronicles the long, arduous journey to standardize the L1A1 Self-Loading Rifle for the British Armed Forces, including the inch-to-metric dimension changes and manufacturing nuances. Discusses the Australian adoption and the heavy barrel variant (L2A1), along with the operational challenges and field performance of the Commonwealth FALs. Features original source documentation, line drawings, parts breakdowns, and black-and-white photographs of the guns in service. The book often serves as a key resource for military historians and firearm collectors. Scarce. A Near Fine to Fine copy with only very light use at a reasonable price.
