well, this saga starts about a year ago when i bought an Argentine Para FAL kit from FWRA on FALfiles.com. after a few months of waiting for all the damn US compliance parts to come in, i finally went to my gunsmith and had him order an Imbel GL receiver and i gave him all of the required parts. he said that he was back logged but since i was about to leave for on deployment to iraq, i told him that i wasn't in any big hurry. well, right before i got back i received an e-mail from my dad saying that my FAL was ready for pick-up as soon as i got home. y'all can imagine that i was like a kid on christmas when i finally got to the gunsmith and picked up my little beauty. unfortunately, i wasn't able to take it out to the range immediately. this past weekend i did get to take it out, and damn, what a piece of hardware! it shot flawlessly except the hammer pin walked out on me after the second mag. i found out that it wasn't engaging the pin catch on the inside of the lower receiver, but me being an idiot and not having any tools with me, i had to wait till i got home to hit it back into place. i went home and knocked the pin back in place, and i don't expect to have any more problems from it. well, without further delay, here are the pics.

Wow, great looking rifle.
That thing is all business.

How much did the reciever set you back?

Wish I had the funds to get one:(

:)



thanks, i wanted to keep it as true to spec as possible.

the funny thing about that receiver is i got it BEFORE all this talk about the BATFE deciding to reinterpret the law and banning the import of imbel receivers. i think i paid $175 or so for it and now those SAME receivers are over $300.

oh, and i'm sure you can afford one. just put it on credit :p
