Our Assessment: This DS Arms SA-58 is a faithful and rugged reproduction of the iconic FN FAL, based on the Austrian STG-58 pattern and chambered in .308 Winchester / 7.62×51 NATO. Known globally as the “Right Arm of the Free World,” the FAL platform was adopted by over 90 countries during the Cold War era. DS Arms has earned a strong reputation for producing high-quality, American-made versions of the FAL, using both original surplus parts and new U.S.-manufactured components. The SA-58 variant preserves the original aesthetics and function of the military STG-58 while offering modern durability and civilian-legal configuration. This rifle features a 21” barrel (22.5” with the muzzle device) and retains classic elements such as the clamshell handguard, adjustable sights, and integrated folding bipod—making it a versatile platform for both collectors and shooters. The parkerized finish is intact at about 96%, with only minor handling marks and a small rust spot near the gas piston shroud. Mechanically, the rifle remains solid and functional, with a bright, sharp bore rating 9.5/10. The polymer stock set is in Very Good condition, showing light handling wear with no cracks, and includes the dropped comb stock and sling ring typical of the STG-58 style.
For those seeking a modern, reliable battle rifle with historical pedigree, the SA-58 is a top-tier choice. This example comes with two 20-round metric magazines and would make an excellent addition to any collection of Cold War-era rifles. Whether you’re looking to enjoy its smooth recoil and proven accuracy at the range, or simply want a durable and functional .308 semi-auto with iconic lines, this DS Arms SA-58 delivers performance and heritage in equal measure. -R.E.
