Who said I was 21?
My FAL is coming along, slowly but surely.
Here's what I've got so far. More parts, including barrel, a better stock and pistol grip (and handguards), and most of the innards, were ordered last week and should be on their way. All that's remaining, once they arrive, will be the upper receiver (the most expensive part, and in legal terms, "the gun", gas piston, selector switch, and a few odds and ends.
I've been enjoying this so far, and am already looking forward to doing another, if I can afford it. I'm thinking of doing an Israeli-style.
(I also threw in a pic of my L1A1 and FN49, for sh!ts n' giggles.)
By the way, the sources for my parts have been AR15.com's equipment exchange (lower receiver and furniture), gunthings.com, Sarco, DSA, and gunpartsguy.com
Looks like a good start,,
Don't over look the guys at:

They have some knowledge of the Fal's...
Thanks, JJ!
Actually, I've been a member of that forum for about two and a half years. I'm more of a lurker than a poster there.
ya its the spike with the DD rail. I got a new aimpoint to replace the old bushnell.
I'm thinking about buiding my first AR.
Right now I'm leaning on ordering a kit from Del-Ton.
Has anybody had experience with a Del-Ton kit/rifle? I'm somewhat on a budget, so if you could help me out by suggesting a better kit to go with, I'd appreciate it.
Looks good. Your flash suppressor is the open style. In RV they were great for cutting the metal bands on crates and hanging up on vegetation. I guess the vegetation is not a problem over in the rock pile.
Let us know about the SBR. I have a 7.5 inch. My brother says the 10.5 is the way to go, if you add a sounds suppressor both 7.5 and 10.5 wind up being the same length.
I thought for room clearing a 7.5 with a Beta C mag would be the choice. My understanding is that Beta C mags can have reliability issues.
A few more FAL parts arrived last weekend. More are on the way, including an Argentine chrome-lined barrel, US-made gas piston, charging handle, and more innards.
(note: the cat's tail is not a part of the rifle!)
getting started on building my first ar
picked up my RRA lower today, already have a flat top upper. going to put a midlength barrelon it. I have all the gas tubes and stuff in already, just waiting on my low profile gas block and RRA lower parts kit to get in . still trying to find a good stock
Called SOG yesterday to get their address because strangely enough I couldn't find it on their dealer site. I have a C&R and have to send them a copy... I'm looking at picking up an M91/30 sniper. For Father's Day and all. heh.
But while I was on the phone the girl said that they have stripped AR lowers in stock for $120.00 a piece. If you know anyone with an FFL that's a great price these days....
Nah, they didn't say on the phone. Those are dealer prices so conceivably they'd mark them up. I'm trying to find them on the website but it's kinda hard to navigate...
