I have a coworker that is offering a century FAL for $500 including a tri lux scope. The problem with the rifle is that the gas system doesn't work and he says a gunsmith told him it needed a new gas block. I have access to see the rifle before I buy. I don't know much about FALs.
Is this a possible smoking good deal or a money pit?
How hard is it to change the gas system out?
He has shot it and says it shoots but doesn't cycle the action.
He also says it only shoots NATO stuff and the. 308 doesn't chamber. Is that normal?
