Hey guys, I'm on shift at the fire station, but I'll post pictures as soon as I get home.
I've got an FAL of the L1A1 variety, and yes, it may have been brutalized by the monkeys at century. I'm having some reliability issues with it.
first: it's an inch gun, and I'm having the problem with both inch and metric mags. It also appears to have the "widows peak" feed ramp, not the unibrow.
Problem: the magazines rock forward and backward, and under recoil, they pivot back creating a gap between the feed ramp and the magazine, causing the round to nose dive under the feed ramp and cause a failure to feed. The obvious work around would be to add some material to the front of the mag to prevent it from rocking, but then it would only work with those magazines.
Anyone have any suggestions other than "just go buy a new receiver" ? I'm thinking if I can fill the Void space and get the magwell back in spec, that would elongate the reed problem and let me be able to buy new mags without having to modify them.
