anyone know if trading a ffl a sig p226 in vg cond +75 is a good trade for a fal carbine with imbel parts and imbel receiver?its a clone fal.postban.

Forget the $75. That would only be worth it in a 1-1 trade.(if that)

Be sure to check the barrel as well, alot of the kit guns out there low grade parts.

Take a good look at it. It is a good bet that it is a Century Arms rifle. They go for $450 or so.

If it isn't then ask who the builder was. It could be a professional or a mad man with a dremel tool. Headspace guage?...ummm..what's that?

Regardless of who made it, take it to the range and try it out. If it's put together correctly and functions OK, since its IMBEL I'd trade in a heartbeat.
I own one (built by Century) its a real gem and I value it more than my M1A even though I've got half the money invested in it.

swapped my sig for the fal.its nice.its not a centry made gun.grey parkerizing..the gas piston is larger than the one i used to own.there is a sideways sling attachment just behind the sights,between the stock and the receiver,it has the one in the stock also.its argentine.gonna add a muzzlebrake later.wait n see how the awb does to see which kind.
