OK so about 30 miles, that's about about 20 minutes the way I drive!

Little update. I'm 99% sure mine is a Sabre Defence Congo (which tallies with the 16" barrel). Found a magazine article from original owner with the spare mags and other bits and pieces:-)

If the serial starts PAC it's a Sabre Defence rifle. I think my FAL barrel is 19" without the brake on, so I'd say yours is a congo.

Yup, PAC.... Many thanks!
Do you think it's ok to pop the article on here or will it present copyright problems? It's from 2003

Research/commentary is a valid reason for "Fair Use" so it should be fine.

Thanks I'll have a read later. Your FAL looks lovely... clapclap
Where did you get the extended cocking handle... Looks nicer than the plastic one on mine.

You sweet talker you! Must admit it came with it, so no idea I'm afraid.
