Purdy. Very purdy. I'm jealous

Recent project: Imbel on DSA. My first FAL build, first try at Duracoat. Bubba'd the barrel flats pretty good, but otherwise pleased with the result. Runs good so far. Duracoat colors are desert beige and matte black. Please note matching flashlight (it's tactical).

Very nice SLR, I like it.

Here's half of it, does this count? First Build and hand at duracoat...just waiting on the rest of my "922r" parts. Will be getting my DSA receiver next week.

magic

StG58CP; 18", no carry handle cut, Belgian muzzle device. Added Imbel handguards, Schneider Machine folding cocking handle. Removed the bipod. Looked like a dead ringer for a 50.63 (minus the finish), but the grip angle was bothering me so I put the FN M249 grip on it; which was a HUGE improvement (and adds some storage).

Nice!!

I had to get some new furniture on this one. The Penguin stuff was really hurting my eyes.

It's a crummy pic, but here is ver 4.02b of GySgtD's frankenfal..

Nice. Very, very, nice.

Well here's my first FAL - a CGW built Imbel FAL with 18" barrel:


And from the "just got it today" lineup an PAC/IAI Imbel M444 (which I refinished w/ Duracoat - Matte Black/Steyr AUG green).

I originally refinished if for a buddy looking to sell, then he ends today asking if I want it - along WITH the Tasco Super Sniper scope...$600 Finally I'm on the receiving end of a "awesome deal!"

my baby...still need to remove the "blast enhancer" left over from "the ban"

DSA SA58 chopped to 18"

Got out and shot the FAL some more today... I love this damn rifle.

Damn I love your scenery!


Hope to have my carbine in a few months.

Yesterday ended up being beautiful. Nothing better than being up in the woods blasting away... .

Another shot showing more of the scenery:


I think you'll love your carbine... I know I love mine. This is my first FAL and honestly I couldn't be any happier so far. I am still waiting on a free float handguard and SAW grip (backordered from DSA).

I think I'm gonna love it!

You'll want another one. Trust me. I was told at the range the first day I took my Predator out that I was going to love it and I would want more of them and so it has come to pass. I'm laying out the cash for a carbine. Someday I may pop for the SPR but they really need to get some specifics out on a rifle that expensive. For that money I expect some solid numbers on accuracy,

Anyway I digress. That's a nice rifle and a lovely setting for shooting it. I seriously love the platform and I think I'm starting ot like them more than ARs
