The Indian 1A1 rifle is a unique hybrid variant of the FAL, reverse-engineered to incorporate features from both British Inch and Belgian Metric patterns. It officially designated 'Rifle 7.62 mm 1A1', it uses an inch-pattern magazine and features a two-position selector for safe and semi-automatic fire, following British design conventions. The pistol grip includes a removable section for a winter trigger guard, highlighting its practical design considerations.
