Anyone in Dallas/FTW area willing to lend a hand??

dmcantrell · October 29, 2003, 14:59

A friend and I are looking to build a couple of FALs using an IMBEL receiver and a parts kit from tapco.com. We have been reading alot of information and trials/tribulations related to building this jewel. From what I can gather, there are some special tools we will need to make this thing come to life -- and some techniques that need to be applied to make the final product safe.

Now don't get me wrong -- I'm all for buying tools -- but I'm a little leery of purchasing tools that I will most likely only use once.

Are there any of you in the Dallas/FTW area that would be willing/able to lend a helping hand with our builds?? Or maybe let us use the tools, toss us some of your wisdom, and let us buy the beer?? Or something along those lines??

Just curious...

I can't exactly promise a lot of wisdom about it, I have just finished my first build, but I have most of the tools, and would be willing to help out if we can arrange some time over the weekend.
