So I've somehow ended up with an L1A1 sporter, a Century product.
Fine rifle has been setting in the layaway section of the gunstore I peruse frequently and guy never came to pay for it or pick it up, forfeiting the 10% down payment. Anyway, I've been eying it for awhile and asked owner about it. It's been there for well over a year. I trade a 1986 94 30-30 for it and away I go. ( I got a pre-64 94 last week from same guy)
Anyway, took it out behind the house, set gas setting to 7, and it fed and shot 20 rounds of m2 ball without a hitch. Step 1 is over. Probably should have aimed at something.
Step 2. It needs to have the thumbhole stock thrown away. Anywhere I can find a cheap used furniture set?
Step 3. Being a complete Fal-noob, how do you go about scoping these things? peep sights are okay, don't know where it's set, and how it's shooting yet, happen to have a couple of scopes lying about though.
