Stu,

Here's the ones I promised. Teh first shows the markings and new style take down lever.

Another shot of the markings which shows quality of machining.

Late style front sight ears which were the same as the C2A1.

Bayonet markings.

Finally, over-all pic.

Very nice! I've got to get my C1 kit together. Love those inch guns!!

Recce, put that thing away before these Americans hurt themselves, could put a dent in the metric receiver market

woodie · November 29, 2001, 02:57

Do you have anymore of those gasblocks? I could sure use one before I but my C1 together.

It's a good thing that receiver says "RIFLE" on it, or else someone might mistake it for a tentpeg, a barbecue rotisserie oven or a leaf blower!

Gorgeous, RECCE!

awesome. I saved these pics for reference.

is there any way we can get these pics archived to the FAL files so they will be available for others?

Really nice Recce.
Love those C1A1s. Hope mine looks as nice when I'm done, assuming I can ever find a real C1A1 barrel. Canadian barrels must the rarest FN part on earth.

Woodie,

Sorry, don't have a line on a gas block.

Buff,

Probably stamped "rifle" on it to keep the recruits from calling it a gun

Irish,

There's a place up here that is advertising L1A1 barrels for about $150 Cdn if that would do. I can give you a contact # if you want.

Very Nice!!!!

Recce:

I am confused (not an unusual situation, it seems...) a bit. The shot of the bayonet and flash hider makes the f/h look like the slots are not cut through, or have been sleeved.

Is that right?

recce · December 02, 2001, 17:34

Buff,
No it's not sleeved, just the angle of the pic. I can send you of it straight on if you wish. Standard Cdn flash eliminator that Kevin Adams has pictured before.

That is not a bad looking shooter mate...probably the only better looking ones are the Aussie made versions....

...but I may be a little bias on this. Makes me want to rummage through the photo albums and find a pic or two of a couple of mine from "the good 'ol days" when I still was allowed to have one

No thanks, no need, the answer is what I was after.

That is indeed a fine looking rifle.
