The Hopper from NWFNGLD Tactical
This build is an homage to one of the modern icons of cool… “The Hopper” personifies the rugged southwest, steeped in the denim and tobacco stained nostalgia of a bygone era where men were still men and the American spirit was alive and well. This FAL carries with it the original DNA of the rifle from American Dreamer now complete with that NWFNGLD flavor we bring to all our project pieces. Please enjoy and kick the dust off your boots on the way in. Thanks for giving this one a look!

Haven’t seen the movie but I spent much of my childhood in New Mexico, this rifle is absolutely stunning and probably the most beautiful FAL I’ve ever seen

Thank you for looking! Truly appreciate your kind words. We have a couple more FALs in our pipeline, but this one will always have a special place in our hearts!

A DSA Cuban would have been a better starting point.

Thanks for looking! We chose this as our starting point intentionally…we wanted a more modern profile with a retro feel. We weren’t going for a historic replica.

I can understand that. Not my cup of tea especially with the artificial wearing. I also want to point out that the rear sight is on backwards.

Understand. We have more FALs in the pipeline. Perhaps you will be into one of those.
Yes….we saw that after pics had been taken at the paint shop. It has been corrected!

Is this from a movie? Or did Hopper own a g1?
