Yep I tweaked the gas nut hole in the receiver just enough to make it tuff to start. What size and TPI are these threads and where can I get a tap set? Thanks

I do not know the actual thread size for this,but I do know that it is Standard threads even though it might be on a Metric receiver,that said if you go to the FAQ and set your preferances for all questions and look through you will find a series of threads that were posted to serve as a referance for different thread pitches on the FAL.HTH

Look here in the FAQ:

A permanent thread pitch guide from the FAQ (go figure) (http://www.l1a1.com/cgi-bin/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=10&t=000078)

I think it's there.

Also, do a search of the FAQ Forum using 'thread' as your search criterion.

Thanks guys. Putting up my first FAL from a STG 58 kit on a Olympic arms receiver.
