I finally got around to having an OLD Federal Arms South African kit refinished and built.

I had Jim at PCS park the parts, time the barrel and headspace.I also had a bunch of magazines that looked crappy so I had him park them also to match the FAL.

I got everything back today and like the last time I had him do some refinishing everything looked great.

Here are some pictures of the refinished parts. The receiver is Imbel, the front end DSA compact elite.

I'll post some pics of the gun once I put it all together. Hopefully I'll also get to testfire it in the next couple days.

How much did it cost for the project?

I cost me $140 to have the whole thing blasted, parked, barrel timed, headspaced and letters painted.

I know I've seen it a million times- but damned if I can find the PCS contact info now.

Can anyone give me Jim/PCS email address?

Ok here is a picture of the gun put together.

In this picture I have the DSA scope mount with Aimpoint Comp ML2 on it.

And here is a pic of me firing it, works great on a 2 setting.
