What is a fair value as a rifle if both pieces were bought and mated.

Agreed.

Bolt and carrier worth $200
Complete lower as pictured worth $300

They all match, which is a plus for some.

$500 is unreasonable IMHO.

Holy crap.... I have a 1” M1D scope mount that came with an old cmp garand, which was not an m1d (along with some unrelated garand odds n’ ends). I wasn’t able to find any info. on it, I had just assumed that it was reproduction. I’ll have to dig it out....

Yep. Type III. Serial number will be C prefix next to three/four digit serial number. They will be cut for standard charging handle (unlike early Century build Imbels which are factory cut for folding charging handle). They will NOT say Rosario in them. In fact, they are some of the most sterile FAL...

It would be interesting to see what proof marks people are finding on their bolts and carriers.... especially the bolts.

I maybe an asshole, but you are the dumbass that doesn’t have enough balls to admit that he made made an unwise spontaneous purchase. We have all done it... but at least most of us have the capacity to own it rather than make excuses and attack those who provide constructive criticism. Good luck dud...

The members here who think paying a bunch of money for an actual FN receiver in NOS condition is "wasting dollars" are probably the same folks who think that actually paying a person to put a boiled linseed oil finish on a wood stock - a job even a literal retard with a five dollar can of oil from ...

I purchased two kits, and happy with both. Both were complete with FN pattern muzzle devices, which was nice, as they were hard to come by previously (wrench flat centered). The only parts were missing was a loop for one of the stocks, and a gas tube pin. Not a single serial number anywhere to be fo...

I just received my Izzy kit and I’d like you guys to look at it and tell me if I’m missing anything. I also am wondering why the hand guards look different. Not only the color is off but the drill holes are different as well. https://imgur.com/gallery/LCE4YBL Nice looking kit, I would have been ple...

1. Can I build this myself? 1. Yes. Tools will cost you some cash up front. If you enjoy your first build and want to build again, there is nothing holding you back... how do you know unless you try? If you decide that you don't want to build, resale value for build tools is high, you should easily...

You can also grind the extractor groove off. Since it's not relevant top headspace

It is nice to have go/no-go gauges with portion of groove ground off as part of your "kit," when checking prospective purchases, especially with military surplus.

If you intend on steaming and lightly sanding the wood, oven cleaner and hot water does a great job.

Before cleaning, wrapping in rags, drop in a black hefty bag, and let sit in the sun on some metal, will pull some of the cosmoline out of the wood.

Hope mine looks that good ?? Was (kinda) expecting it to arrive yesterday (Sat)...maybe Monday Me too. I thought it odd they sent me a "your order has shipped" email, but did not include the tracking number??? I just checked my order, it provided a UPS tracking number, but had to click two or three...

Well fuck guys, you all got me hyped on this FAL kit but now I'm thinking I chewed off more than I can handle for a first FAL build. Just ordered one 2 hours ago... having a bit of buyers remorse. :?: $299 for the examples presented above are an excellent deal. Despite needing to be cleaned up and ...

Gramps, I use bedsheets that my wife cleans regularly, I dont smoke, and I'm no electrician. Oh.. And I use my trash can. I don't need pictures your mom took of you. :lol: “Gramps.” That is awesome. I knew the generation gap was wide, but that is off the rails! That said, a blow up doll that washes...

You're a got dam genius, aint you, Lockjaw? You were the first dip telling people they were pissed. Take your Alzheimer meds.

Shouldn't you be cleaning your room?

Cop out? I'm chilling here watching you two get your ovaries in a twist over abbreviations and something as dumb as how to zero something for point blank. Is this how you dudes roll on FalFiles? :lol: [/quote] "Dude" ... who the f*** still calls anyone "dude?!" :lol: Apparently, you need to start "...

Stay back, lob 308 in from 200 yds and watch the show.

I dunnoh... still confused as to how to set my BOZO. I'm afraid that they will google search it faster than I can.

Sorejaw and Stoolpusherpro flailing their arms over a corny abbreviation is all the entertainment I needed today.

.... and capped with the passive aggressive cop-out. Classic!

I was on the discussion giving useful advice before you came in talking about shit you don't understand.

You are just pissed off because nobody gives a shit about your regurgitated Google search dingle-berries of wisdom.

You sound more like a Karen, than a keyboard commando.

It costs roughly $5 just to load the flipping mag just once. My free time for fun at the range is limited. I don’t have the time or interest in troubleshooting a fugged up $15 magazine. They do make amusing targets though.

Blah Blah Blah, I'm a keyboard commando who would piss my briefs if I ever made eye contact with a grown adult.... I recently retired from the Army, combat arms and a Sniper, and do not recall ever observing the term/acronym "BZO." I did just talk to a Marine buddy, who recognizes it. Apparently it...

Not brown gravy but have you guys tried Libby’s sausage gravy in the can? Not as good as homemade but pretty tasty on biscuits.

I have eaten the equivalent in Army mess. Pretty damn bland on it's own, but if you bust up a bunch of cooked sausage into it and add pepper, it can be good to hook.

In addition to my previous posting I'm mainly looking for an STG58 I'm ooen to other good FALs like a Argentinian FSL etc. However, STG58 is the apex goal. ARS gave me a quote for building one and it's $2k+ so I'm looking for a pre-built rifle. Preferably nothing DSA or Imbel related. Thanks Let me...
