The American FAL: Harrington & Richardson T48 (w/ Larry Vickers)
This video features Larry Vickers showcasing his original Harrington & Richardson T48 FAL rifle. The H&R T48 was a pre-production series of 500 rifles developed in the mid-1950s for US trials to select a new combat rifle. It competed against the Springfield T44, which eventually became the M14. The description details the close performance of both rifles and the reasons for the M14's adoption, including a mistaken belief about utilizing M1 Garand tooling. The video highlights the historical significance of the T48 FAL, with only a few existing privately, and this particular example coming from the H&R company museum. It's a deep dive into Cold War rifle history.
