The FAL / AK Files Temporary Home

More shots...3 good kits..I’m done..lol

Without a doubt, probably the BEST kit of the 3 that I received. I love the visible markings on the lower and the yellow surplus sticker on the stock. Handguards look great as well...very pleased. I guess I just got lucky...now..the wait for the receivers and barrels begins...

19 kits left as of 3:24 EST...just got my 3rd about 30 minutes ago..haven’t opened it yet...just a heads up..

My pivot bracket looked the same (not quite as bent) on my 2nd kit and I bent it back with a crescent and pliers..hopefully it functions. I am getting a 3rd kit tomorrow..hopefully it doesn’t come like that either..

Ordered a 3rd kit. Crazy seeing as how I’ve never shot a FAL nor have any experience with them, but the price is just great. I don’t know if I should just keep the two I have and hold onto this one, making that 3 FAL’s or part it or sell it outright? Got my eye on having an underfolder AK to match m...

Having the ears pinched in a bit won't give you any trouble. Crescent wrench adjustment tool.

Sounds great. I didn’t think so, just didn’t know if marring the metal would cause it to weaken over time. Thanks for the response...!

That’s awesome

Got my second kit in and I must say, I am very happy with it. It is a horizontal take down, Type C stock, Wood is good, everything seems to be there. One issue and that is with the pivot pin hole on the left side of the rifle. It was bent slightly inwards to the point that I had to carefully bend it...

Upon inspection of my kit above, I believe I’m missing the gas tube (for starters). As I keep watching vids and reading the responses here, I think I’ll be able to round up what I need for this kit at least. Next one should be here by the weekend...additionally, I have what appears to be an early l...

Here is mine, just received it, pulled it out of the box and snapped photos...first kit ever, I think it’s all here mostly? Overall, I’m fairly pleased. Glad that I ordered a second kit now...

I guess I am a glutton for punishment because I just bought another kit...without even receiving my first kit. Just from reading the previous posts in this thread, however, I think that it was a good buy considering the price and scarcity of the kits..Ha, to go from zero potential Izzy FAL’s last we...

Now I am slightly nervous. Burt stocks are relatively easy to find...light barrel handguards seem to not be according to people on this board...I should be getting mine in soon. I want to grab another, but $300, while maybe not anything to some people on here that are buying 2,3 or 4 kits at a time...

Part kit came in today. Missing multiple major parts, missing BCG, Stock, and wood handguards. I hope PSA is nice to me and allows me to send it back for a replacement kit (a fellow friend who also got one was missing a small part and was informed they don't have spare parts for the kits). What I r...

I would get there Israeli barrel and have your gas block installed. When the barrel is in stock.

Thank you. I wasn’t sure what to do since I see they sell them with gas blocks and then they sell them without...wasn’t sure what route most people do? Cheers..!

Perhaps a stupid question, but I am a newbie so apologies in advance. So, I just purchased a Light barrel Izzy kit and plan on putting it together sans the barrel and receiver. My question is, if I buy a barrel from DSA with the gas block already installed and send it off to be installed, will I hav...

I’m hoping they are still in stock. Ordered mine yesterday, got an order confirmation. The top of the page says in stock, bottom where they have their locations says out of stock...not too worried, just hope I can snag one...

Long time lurker, first time poster. I too have purchased a light barrel Izzy kit from PSA today. Hopefully the wait isn’t too long. I am totally familiar with building AK’s (Have built 3 lowers on my own) but don’t know if I feel comfortable mating the FAL upper receiver to the barrel. Would it be...
