The LM6, developed in the late 80ies, is one of the best rifles ever manufactured in South Africa. Short, handy and super easy to operate, it stands out as a reliable and accurate short rifle.
This rifle was made with mostly South African parts on a US-made receiver, with the correct LEW engravings.

I patrolled the Mozambique border back in 93/94 with the SAP catching guys bringing AK`s over the border to supply the cANCer during "The Township War" and ALWAYS carried my 50 round mag as my first mag...we all did...8 guys with 50 rounds each to return fire when we bumped the gun runners always turned them into Olympic athletes...

Thank you for your piece of history. Much appreciated! And thank you for your service, trying to keep our country safe from terrs.

This might be a little strange, but where are you actually from? Because i assumed the US, because of yoru accent, but at the same time it's not fully American, and you Afrikaans almost sounded more like Dutch, but you also just said "our country", so now i'm super confused lol@@thefalguy9848

@reubenventer860 16 дней назад

93 / 94 we did township patrolls! Most of us where doing camps as intake stopped in 92. We where all issued either with R 5 or R 6 not the lm 6. Never did we run arround with the 50 round as it was not readily available at that time. Magazine pouch only accomodated the 35 round magazine.

@Leec_1972 10 дней назад

There were a few 50 round magazines floating around, but no one was actually issued them in my unit. The PF leadergroup would have a few and play with them on the range occasionally. We had plenty of the standard 35 round steel and polymer mags but only loaded 30 rounds in each.

@jumanji5239 8 месяцев назад

The 50 rounder was actually carried in the weapon during patrol to provide enhaced volume of fire if ambushed. It was not a magazine of last resort. Only one 50 rounder per person was issued.

@thefalguy9848 8 месяцев назад

Thank you for that detail! I appreciate it. I did meet a few ou manne who said their 50rd mag was the mag of last resort. Maybe it was unit SOP...

@capetownguy7438 7 месяцев назад

I always hated the length on the R5 stocks, but, I still pine for an LM6 and Micro Galil. I would be interested in a local (US) LM6 SBR.

@thefalguy9848 8 месяцев назад

Well, you can have your US-made LM6 built ny various gun smiths. And my company usually has certain LM6 parts in stock

@TheSilmarallion 13 дней назад

The R5/R4 had a longer stock the the Galil think the Israelis had shorter arms than the SA guys. Personally the R4 for me fitted perfectly. Loved that rifle was very reliable easy to clean and operate.

Own an original Galill made in Isreal. The R5 is better with the recoil buffer in the back and the FL on the firing pin. 🔥 if I had a choice between FAL7.62 or R5 / R6 FAL (R1 ), i would prefer the R1 by far.

@thefalguy9848 Месяц назад

An R1 has its benefits in specific environments. So does the LM6. The compactness of the LM6 is a huge benefit to the rifle system

@dannyarcher6163 10 месяцев назад

Dagsé! Lots of talk about short 5.56 not performing. But use in SA proves otherwise.

@thefalguy9848 10 месяцев назад

It has to do a lot also with the type of ammo being used and the expectancy of the performance. Can I reach 500m and still get sub 2 MOA with a 5.56mm 62gr bullet out of an 10..5-11" barrel? Probably not, for that I got other tools. But for short ranges this barrel length is great

@mrdato116 10 месяцев назад

Yeah FN literally makes SCAR in 556 with 7.5 inch barrel. It's still more deadly than PDW in 9 mm or 10 mm
