Thanks, guys.

Hey Kurt! Figured I'd bump into you here


My first FAL. Wasn't trying to do a particularly "great" job on it as I plan on getting this one dirty
But I am very anal about my guns, especially when I work on them.
I wasn't even really considering refinishing it untill I had it apart and found a couple of probs that needed fixed. Then one thing led to another....

Small world, eh?

I was going to do the rebuild it yourself route, then I looked at the area I had to work with and sprung for the $$ to have Gunplumber do it right the first time and refinish everything with Metacol III.

Now I just have to find time to shoot em' all!
