As dumb as these questions may seem (it's okay; I know they are), I just got a FAL, and I want to make sure I do the right things. I don't have anyone around to take me through it so maybe someone here can help me?:
1) 7.62 is the same as .308; or rather they'll both work in this metric FAL right?
2) I just greased everything that looked like it would move with Tetra gun grease. It was totally dry; any special spots I should know about.
3) It's unfired since it was built. It looks like it was never fired. Do I have to break it in like I did my DPMS LR-308?
4)Is it possible that it's never been fired before it was imported? I don't know how to tell. All the parkerizing inside and out is flawless. It's an Israeli heavy barrel kit on an Imbel. Pics are in this thread: http://thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=396151
5) Do I have to do anything to the gas system to start out?
I have poked around the fal files forum, but there's almost too much info. I am registered there, but I can't actually start new threads there for some reason; there's not "New Thread" tab when I'm logged in. Anyways, I'm not completely uninformed about these BTW, I just haven't been around one in a while, and that one wasn't mine. It was a crappy one at that, and this one is pristine. I don't want to wreck anything, ya know? All help is helpful. Thanks.
