Where you at mellow?

VA is a big state.

Goes from the Atlantic Ocean to points longitudinally west of Detroit.

FSD5D0 · October 27, 2012, 21:59

I'm in Fairfax. First Imbel should be here next week.

reganhouse · November 14, 2012, 20:38

I am in the Herndon area (NoVA). Here's my story of FAL 'love at first sight'.

I had a problem with my Glock 32 and there was a thread on FALfiles about it (Glock forum). One night after replying to a poster on the thread, I started innocently nosing around the FALfiles site. Before you know it, I had purchased a DSA StG58 from an individual on Marketplace.

My next step toward long-term addiction came only 3 weeks later when I thought of searching on VAGunTrader.com using "StG58" for the search term. Unfortunately for my budget, I found an early FN-built StG with an Imbel receiver. My measured response? I bought it.

I guess that about sums up my situation for now. I am attempting to exert some self control. Love the FALfiles site for information and entertainment.

I would enjoy connecting with other FAL devotees in VA. I am working my way through The FAL Rifle, Classic Edition, but I have lots to learn. I love this rifle. Fortunately, my safe is full preventing further impulse buys.

All the best,

Bob

Sounds awesome! That's somewhat how I found them as well, although I was looking for information on my Galil and found an interesting thread here.

reganhouse · December 06, 2012, 16:39

Yes. Awesome, if yet another addiction is awesome. Where are you located?

NewCenturion · December 10, 2012, 21:51

Richmond here, too. I started lurking around here several years ago, and also bought mine from the Marketplace.

blackmatt · December 29, 2012, 21:32

There's quite a few of us here in the Richmond area. We should hold our own FAL mini-fest.

**mellow** · January 06, 2013, 09:38

Isnt there a FALfiles member that in Virginia Beach that had fal tools for rent? got 2 Argy coonan receivers on order and want to get them built as fast as possible when they arrive........due to "political" climate

oSPANNERo · January 06, 2013, 21:15

I'm down here in Blacksburg. I am new to the FAL community after picking up an STG-58 built by Imbel. Unfortunately I am currently fighting the urge to "upgrade" it with rails, grip, and stock....

blackmatt · January 09, 2013, 14:43

Mellow -

I'm in the Richmond area. I have all the tools. I just need the know-how to use them.

I've watched the DVD. FALs are relatively straight forward unlike say an AK. I moved down here from DC (thanks BRAC) so I have only recently gotten set up with a decent shop space (my garage). I have too many kits to build ! I think I'm going to start with a G1.

Valkyrie0002 · January 15, 2013, 12:11

Fredericksburg.
My FALs are my favorite rifles. Built my first FAL in 2003 when I lived in Buffalo, NY area. Built the last one in 2010.

agbrookman · January 23, 2013, 11:55

I caught the fever almost a year ago. I'm in Newport News. I'd like to shoot a lot more than I do but ammo prices and availability are a little worrisome. Starting to think about reloading.

**big44man** · January 23, 2013, 12:23

I'm now down to two FALs in Va Beach, just sold one on GB to a guy in Kansas.
Guess I'll be hanging on to the last two, since they are both Century builds, and
everyone it seems avoids them like the plague. Since they run great, and I have
had no problems in the five or six years that I have had them, I'll just keep on
enjoying them.
