Hi all. I took a break from ARs and entered the FAL world.
I've had these parts for probably ten years and finally got around to having
Them built. It's a imbel kit on a imbel receiver build by John thomas
Of RetroArmsWorks. If you could of seen the parts before you see he
Did a great job bringing them back to life.
He also cut the barrel down.i still need to get a new stock set.

Enjoy.

Nice rifle!  Good to see an Imbel on Imbel receiver build.  It's natural and not frankenfal'd.

Hard too say, I bought the parts so long ago I can't remember exactly .
But I think the kit was 350$ and the receiver was 250$.
I traded the build cost but I think it would be around 400$
So prob 1k

I like the Imbel fiberglass hand guards.

You would be surprised what truck bed liner in the spray can from Wal Mart does for hand guards


BTW  what US parts are you using? Seeing how you have Imbel receiver and furniture

Nice. I was probably going to use albuma-Hyde on the stocks .
I used it on the stocks of a few retro AR projects and it turned out nice.
I'll Have to get s new butt pad, the one that's on is pretty beat up.
Honestly I'm not to sure what parts are compliant . The kit had a lot of
Missing parts after being moved around for years. So most
Of the fire control parts are new
