While the Fusil Automatique Leger (FAL) was developed by Fabrique Nationale Company of Herstal, Belgium the production of the rifle in its various styles was the responsibilty of the individual countries that adopted this fine rifle for the military. In 1957 Great Britain manufactured the FAL as the L1A1 SLR at the RSAF Enfield and BSA factories. Austria adopted the FAL as the Stg.58 in 1958. These rifles were manufactured at the Steyr Arms factory. DS Arms acquired all of the original Steyr blueprints, parts inventory and machinery for the Stg.58.
Does that make it clearer? (like mud? lol)
But thanks for mentioning it.
