It’s a real brick at 14 lbs and those ski bipod are super uncomfortable to carry GI style muzzle up! 1960’s desert warfare vibes.That's real old world style with the wood furniture
14 lbs or 14 kg?It’s a real brick at 14 lbs
Lord knows how many locking shoulders a receiver can take but that’s the great part about FALs! Can swap out a good preban receiver in two beers and get a fresh new look.I thought of doing an Izzy on my latest build, but I went for a plain-Jane IMBEL when I lucked into some NBC handguards I was looking for.
Kinda wish I'd gone Izzy now...

Mines an Israeli one, rivets are good and tight, it’s possible you may have to smush your rivet on a press a bit more but otherwise I’d just weld the mount.I'm curious how your trilux mount has held up, and who made it. I used a British mount, and after about 50 rounds the rivets holding the top of the mount onto the dust cover had loosened up so much I could visibly wobble the scope. I've restaked the rivets, but I don't have high hopes. If there's another country out there that made non-shitty ones, I'd like to know!
If the rivets are loose again, you could try to work some Loctite 648 (metal press-fit) into the central barb before re-crimping.I'm curious how your trilux mount has held up, and who made it.
