Questions about my Para-FAL

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Questions about my Para-FAL

Posted: 5/13/2015 9:25:36 PM EDT

I have a Para-FAL built on an Imbel receiver with Pacific Armament stamped on it. Was Pacific Armament strictly an importer or did they assemble weapons too? What would the value be on it?

your rifle seems to be a bit of a mutt. Not a bad thing IMO, just not "correct".

I don't know how the PAC receivers were imported, complete firearms or just receivers, but I've seen a lot of builds on them.

Need better pics of lower too.

Imbel inch gun, 16" upper with long STOL flash hider.

Definitely a mutt, but I bet it shoots well.

Best guess around the $1,000 mark, give or take.

PAC only imported receivers. Unless yours has some specific gunsmith markings, it's almost impossible to determine who built it.

How does it cycle? Any feeding or extracting issues?

Just curious whether the gas port is the correct size.

P.S. Just noticed your rear sight has been shortened front to rear. I think The Dealer's Warehouse was selling those for awhile. Check out DSA's website for what most para sights look like.
