Editor’s Note: The DSA SA58 Improved Battle Rifle takes the ruggedness and reliability of the original FAL design and adds modern features. This rifle uses the B.R.S. (Battle Rifle Buttstock), which is adjustable for length-of-pull and comb, and also allows the gun to fire when folded. Also present is DSA's extreme duty Picatinny scope mount and M-LOK front handguard. This allows you to mount all the optics and accessories you need to bring one of the most proven rifle designs in the world into the 21st century.

By The Numbers

Accuracy
Accuracy was unpredictable at first, but tightened up to 3-4 MOA once more rounds were put through the gun.
Reliability
Feeding, extraction and ejection were 100%, but that a faulty trigger (later fixed) was cause for caution.
Customization
This rifle is already fairly customized, but rails and the M-LOK handguard allow for any attachments to be added.
Ergonomics
The rifle has exceptional ergonomics. Between the DSA B.R.S., the modernized MLOK handguard and the controls for bolt release and mag drop, the feel of this old design is great.

FINAL VERDICT

"The DS Arms SA58 FAL has great ergonomics and aesthetics, but our non-functioning trigger and lackluster accuracy put a damper on our testing. However, in a world where it’s difficult to find a modernized FAL, the high price tag of around $2200 might be your only bet. I went about this review to be as completely transparent and honest as possible, like any other review. This rifle at first came up short in my opinion, but then redeemed itself." - Ken Whitmore
