first time FAL builder

G1user · May 27, 2002, 18:00

Hello all.

I recently decided I needed to build my first centerfire autoloader, and a FAL sporter seemed the best way to go.

I now have a very nice G1 parts kit, and an Imbel recvr in the process of being put together.

As work progresses, I will probly have some questions to post, so I thot I would say hi first.

I am really pleased with what I have put together so far.
Using these forums as an info source, I was able to get everything apart and cleaned up with no trouble.
The bore is in great shape, and the barrel hand indexes to 10:30-11:00 just like it is supposed to.

That is all I have gotten doen so far, but I will post more later.
I think this will be a realy good rifle when finished.

Thanks,
-Brad

Welcome to board G1user!!! I too am in the process of building my first kit. It looks like you're further along than I am. This forum has provided excellent info so we're in good hands.

I'm documenting my build via my website http://bandito.50megs.com/fal/wecsog.html to help answer questions and provide links to the good info I've found here for others newbies that will follow down this path.

Please do post a pic here of your finished work, and good luck with the build!!!
