If the first line of your article could easily have been plucked out of a Ruger product description, then you have failed as a reviewer. The last point is the best.

Sturgeon Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 Yeah, a 540 series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.E. Watters Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 Don't forget that both Manurhin and FAMAE were licensed to produce the SG540 series. Manurhin sold some to Lebanon prior to (or during) their civil war in the 1970s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if this the reason with the US tested FALs in particular but, "disposable" magazines for the longest time were anything but disposable, and actually rather expensive a pain in the ass to properly manufacture. Might've been in the event magazines were low on supply but ammo was more abundant. (at the end of WW2 for example, MP44s had far less impact than people will have you believe, you'd be lucky to even get 30-60 rounds for one, even luckier still to actually get a damn magazine and blessed to get 2 to use them for the damned things.)

Also, you literally cannot get spares for them anymore, as they are substantially dimensionally different from every other series of Mini.
