I got lucky and got the opportunity to purchase one of the FN FAL. Anyone in the group have any experience with fals ?

Super jelous, I put in to buy one too, have not heard anything yet though, how did you get contacted? Email from a fn.com domain?

Yep. What you need to know about an FN FAL?

You need a bipod I got one

 

[brandon_wilson7588]

Wait for an imbel receiver or just go with a dsa arms? Iv been looking this weekend and I can find Belgium barrels but no receivers. Ill pass for now on the bipod for now, let me see how long it takes to get this together.

You will probably about 6 or 7 US made parts to complete your kit in 922 compliance. ITts not that hard though The Upper receive could be one for sure. Plenty of Forums out there to help you through. Here is one:

FAL build and 922(r)

I'm considering building a FAL from one of the Argintine kits and a Coonan receiver. What are the best/typical parts to replace to stay 922(r) compliant?

10 us made parts is no problem, U.S. made mag is 4 parts alone, and there are 10 parts that make up the frame lock and selector that FN didn't include

I got a few spare receivers, barrels, and etc. I won number 270 and built it on a dsa with some work.

Feel free to hit me up. 281-673-5060.

I just ordered a DSA type 2 upper. And I was waiting on them to release the barrel I have been looking for an imbel or fn on falfiles and gunbroker.

Nice, I have always had an affinity for the FAL from growing up in the 80s and seeing the Brits with them in the news, the Falklands, Northern Ireland, etc.
