These are photos of my latest project. It's made of mostly Imbel parts on a new Coonan Type III receiver. Most of the parts were purchased from fellow FAL-Filers. Some came from DSA or Falcon Arms. The scope mount is the extended DSA topped by a Millet DMS-1 1X4 scope. It shoots around 4" groups @100 yds. with SA milsurp. Many thanks to all here for info as well as all I bought parts from. And thanks again Mr. Nwobhm for setting me straight.

Nice clone of a M964 Brazilian Fal, Chris/Nwobhm is definitely a wealth of Info and one of the good guys to deal with. Enjoy, Lee.

Very nice work gasmann.

I find the build is sometimes as gratifying than firing the FAL. Keep us posted on your next project.

I've been operating under the assumption that it was de rigueur since most posters are pilloried for not doing so.

So does that mean that you could count higher in grade school than everyone else?
