Graywolf
I just wanted to let you know that your FAL looks GREAT! I'm new to the forum (Hello All!), and I was browsing the FAL pix. I saw your FAL and I just had a few questions about it. For many years, I have been interested in an FAL, and I'm finally in the market to pick one up. I just wanted to know about your furniture ...was in manufactured that color, or did you paint it? ...and if so, what type of paint in best for the job?? Also, the handguards ...or these manufactured or custom made?? Where could someone purchase them?? Any info that you could provide would be appreciated! Thank You!! |

Quoted from DSA Advertisement..."the Type III receiver is the heaviest, but the most rigid of the receivers."
May or may not make it more accurate...but it can't hurt.  |

exactly. can't hurt but i don't believe the cuts on T1/T2 receivers allow them to flex enough (in semi, obviously) to affect accuracy

i'm not doubting at all that your rifle shoots wonderfully.
my 'Wolf-wannabe SA58 (TYPE1, BADGER BBL, DSA FF, LEUPY 6X42A/O MILDOT, sweet trigger job by MOSES) does great things for a semiauto w/surp ammo. i just don't believe the receiver type affects accuracy. since it's not gray nor nearly a 'Wolf......maybe i'll call mine a Blackwolfcub   |

Not sure if I'd want one of those in 7.62. But they might have something if they made it in .45 ACP!!  |

Got the hider from the guy in Arizona who built the rifle, as far as I know it’s 9/16x24L |

That is one badass looking rifle! Derek has a CAI redo going for me right now and the barrel is supposed to get cut down to the 18-inch para length, I hope it looks as beautiful as yours. |

It's all Imbel except for the furniture and upper rec. The upper is Entreprise Arms, the HTS are FSE back when you could still get 'em. The furniture is new Penguin Arms.
The rifle shoots great. Working on a Para right now. I have a bunch of parts on the way to get it built, they are all DSA. |

That is a awesome looking FAL. What is the length on the barrel? I am assuming that rifle is SBR?

Yes it’s registered as an SBR. The receiver and 11-inch front end are DSA and it was built using a StG-58 parts kit. It’s a pretty kick ass little rifle if I do say so. Where are you at in Washington? If you ever get down to the Albany/Corvallis area or down to one of the arf.com shoots, I’d be happy to let you shoot it. |
