=== DSA SA58 FAL ===
American company DSA (David Selvaggio Arms) manufactures a copy of the FAL called the [[FAL DSA SA58]] FAL that is made with the same Steyr-Daimler-Puch production line equipment as the StG-58. It comes with a 406&nbsp;mm (16&nbsp;in), 457&nbsp;mm (18&nbsp;in) or 533&nbsp;mm (21&nbsp;in) barrel, an [[Hiduminium|aluminum-alloy]] lower receiver, and improved [[Glass-filled polymer|Glass-filled]] [[Nylon]] furniture. Civilian clients are limited only to semi-automatic configuration, but military and law enforcement clients can procure select-fire configuration that is capable of firing in full auto with [[cyclic rate]] of fire of around 650–750 rounds per minute. The SA58 FAL can use any metric-measurement FAL magazines, which come in 5, 10-, 20-, or 30-round capacities.

Early versions of the DSA FAL included a 4140 billet upper receiver, machined from a 19-pound block of 4140 steel, and a lower receiver milled from a block of 7075 T6 aircraft grade aluminum.<ref name="GunsMagAug02">GunsMagazine.com, August 2002</ref> The barrels were provided by Badger and were double stress relieved, cryogenically treated, and had an 11 degree target crown. These barrels featured broach cut rifling, were lapped by hand, and made from 4140 carbon steel. Barrel twist was 1:11. Rifles produced during the [[Federal Assault Weapons Ban]] from 1994 to 2004 included integrally machined muzzle brakes that served to reduce muzzle rise and recoil.<ref name="GunsMagAug02"/> Further more, these muzzle brakes added additional length to barrels to achieve the 16.5 inches that would otherwise have been considered [[short-barreled rifle]]s under the [[National Firearms Act]]. As such, DSA FAL barrels that were effectively ~14 inches, could be legally considered 16.5 inches due to the integral muzzle brakes.
