My new FAL

[Il Duce]

Scored this killer Imbel FAL with British L1A1 parts kit. According to the guy I got it from it has only had about 130rds through it since the original owner bought it new in 1993.

FALs are great!!

Say hello to your new best friend....FALs are a great rifle..... :up:

I really need to get on the ball and pick one of those up. One day.

Out of curiosity, why are the FALs so expensive? Lord knows enough have been made, you'd think they would be about what an entry level AR would cost...

The Right Arm of the Free World! Awesome score!

Fal is a little more difficult to manufacture.  There is only one real domestic maker - DSA.  Import of kits was stomped on.

 

  I'm fond of mine - I need to go ahead and put it on the market but I've had it so long - the first long gun I ever bought.

You would think that but they really dont come up for sale that often or at least the quality ones dont.

Nice score. Let us know how she shoots.

Btw, Duce, that is actually Portuguese 7.62 NATO ammo, not US M80, I was told wrong. Edited March 2, 2014 by austin7.62

I like my mutt. It is an L1A1 kit on a Imbel receiver with some Israeli and US parts.

It is a fun shooter. I hope yours is as good for you .
