Looks like a good start to a FAL. Butt stock looks like it will clean up pretty good. Get you a buttstock and pistol grip tool. You will eventually need a tool for the front site as well. As much as I hate to recommend them, DSA sells a combo kit that contains all these tools plus an extractor tool along with a gas wrench for 60.00. All of the tools are worth it. You will end up spending at least 600-700 on the rifle- buy the right tools to work on it.

Good luck and let us know how it progresses.

Welcome. You should have no trouble finding a barrel. You have your work cut out to refinish that but is very satisfing and fun, then you get to go shoot it.

I am working on an izzy clone and plosted just before the shut down for some parts I am after, sure never thought it would last this long.

it dose look like its had a hard life but im starting on the refinishing so its not a big deal. so i know there are alot of questions about the 922r stuff but what ive figured so far is if i go with the coonan reciver a coonan gas piston, enterprise muzzle brake falcon arms HTS kit thats 6 parts correct, then i would only need one more i was looking at falcon has a us made front handguard that is the plastic style. would that work on my g1 kit. my other question is apex has a south african barrel for 75 is that compatable with my gas block and gas tube? i cant seam to find any g1 parts the barrels were all cut in half for some reson from what i see??

there was a G1 barrel in the market place a while back,Im shure if you put a want to buy add on there something will show up

Aaaaaaaaactualy the stock ended up spraybombd black..... No I didn't do it my freind heard that I wanted a black polymer one long story short I'm putting a lock on my chem cabnent, so question will apexes south African barrel work what's diffrent with that and a g1 other than muzzle brake I want the threaded. Barrel for enterprises zeroclimb, and is the sight always this bogged down or is it just the upgrade I've tryst to check in several times

You get an original type B stock while everyone else is getting mangled Turkish stocks and you go and spray paint it black?

The FAL gods are very disappointed.
