Sunday night, after reading reviews of his work, I placed an order on his website for an inch parked carrier / chrome bolt set and a pivot pin. I received an email Monday saying that the items had been shipped. The package arrived at my door today (Wednesday). Folks, that is pretty darn fast. I had figured on another day or two for USPS to get it to me (in Ohio) from Washington (in fact, since I wasn't expecting it this fast, the wife got the mail .... which meant that I had to do some dancing! ).

The items were well-wrapped.

While advertised as being in "excellent" condition, the pivot pin looks new or refinished -- thumbs up!

The chrome bolt is beautiful! It's a really nice matte chrome. Looks business-like (no pimpin' bling-bling finish! ) The parked carrier is a nice, even matte black - perfect for EBR's! The bolt and carrier retain their original (unobtrusive) markings.

As a bonus, GPG threw in a free speedloader (Imbel?)! What a nice surprise!

To sum it up: GPG offers some great products at very good prices. He has good communication (that's important for Internet sales!) He ships fast and packages the items well. He goes above and beyond.

GPG goes on my short list of trusted vendors. I'll be sure to check with him whenever I go shopping around for FAL items. He has a repeat customer here!

For any new 'Filers out there wondering who are some of the "good guys", I can recommend GunPartsGuy, GunThings, SLR-5000, Court in Fl, Ratas Calientes, Dan's Sporting Goods, DSA (expensive, but topnotch; they seem to be a little flaky lately due to employee turnover), The Dealer Warehouse (expensive, but topnotch), and TAPCO (I know, I know). I've personally done business with them and have been pleased with all of them. There are other "good guys" not listed here, but that's just because I haven't done business with them... yet!
