Get yourself a nice Commonwealth inch-pattern SLR.
For some reason, they seem to have more "soul" than a generic metric. |

I sold a pristine kit build STG 58 back in '08.
Not a day goes by where I don't regret doing that. Didn't even have to sell the thing, it was just a safe queen at the time.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Do not sell guns!!!!!!!!!!!! True that. I think I fell victim to a series of circumstances: -The desire for something different -A friend who wants what I've got and is willing to pay a fair price (in both our opinions) -Being temporarily broke (my own fault, due to some recent 'big ticket' purchases) -A wife that's fine with multiple guns, as long as each fills a specific role (ie. My shotgun, my duty pistol, my backup/travel gun, my precision rifle etc.). Two carbine-length battle rifles... she'd know!!! She's already giving me the stink eye over multiple AR uppers! I keep telling her, "But that a .300 SBR dear. That other one is a 5.56 SBR. They look identical, but they're TOTALLY different animals, I swear." I'll find another down the road. Maybe go for a para next time around. Who knows. |

I sold my FN FAL para back in 1987 I think it was... no regrets... loved the look but hated the feel of it, no cheek weld, hell on brass....

I brought my sig 716 and FAL Imbel build to the range a couple weeks ago. Didn't like the way one shot or felt in back to back comparisons. So I sold it. Still have the Imbel build

I've shot an M1A SOCOM and I wouldn't trade a broken FAL for one. They reek of tacticool And I found it to be a very unpleasant gun, balance, recoil, and getting slapped in the face with muzzle blast. It might be a different story if you're going to remove the factory flash hider and put on a suppressor.
An M1A National Match... on the other hand...

I tried talking a good friend out of that same rifle. Wouldn't listen. We picked it up, hit the range. He fired it 4 times, asked if I wanted to shoot it, declined. Sold it within a week. |

I sold my para build for an M1A, one of the worst mistakes of my life. Still trying to get back into the FAL game. Live and learn.

The only way I'd sell my Gear-logo Imbel metric FAL is to buy
an FN SCAR-H. Even then maybe... I built my FAL with an un-numbered kit, with a new Argentine chrome-lined barrel. |

I have two consecutively serial numbered Imbel GL receivers. Going to use them on two all Imbel kits I have. Should be pretty nice.

Sold an Imbel imported by century years ago to fund other guns. That gun ran like a raped ape.
I regret it everytime i see an FAL. |

Funny that I ran across this thread I've got a DSA SA58 with what appear to be Austrian proof marks on the barrel I've been thinking of selling, just sitting on the fence.

I could sell one of the two Imbel based kit guns I own, but they run great and I know it will be difficult in the future to find one as good in the future. Just troubleshooting one could run $100 given how much ammo costs. The only way I would sell one is if I ever end up buying a Belgian preban.
Given the scarcity of parts and general crap being sold these days. FALs and AKs are not worth selling if you intend to own anything similar in the future. |
