Say hello to my Bush gun



Just got back from Round Rock Texas earlier today with a new toy. This is the Rhodesian FN FAL kit all finished. Surprisingly easy to build. I gotta thank fellow member and friend Nictra. Thanks for the use of the tools and the guidance on how to build these. Only issue was we had to take off some of the barrel shoulder since it undertightened but that happens.

Here is a simple video of the test fire. One Mag I think has a weak spring but it's not this one.

Nice job weathering the receiver, that long stock makes it look nicely balanced.

Nice looking Rhodie, Ilike the worn look. It's always good to see a Rhodie reborn! Great minds must think alike, as I finished up my fifth Rhodie build today!

That is a good video of your abdomen. The plain black T shirt is pure genius.

Did you name that rifle George?
