I've had this FAL for quite a few years, but don't know too much about it. It has a PAC Imbel receiver, and it appears to be built on a STG58 kit. I recall in the past that I had determined it had a Steyr hammer forged barrel. I'm out of the loop on FAL stuff, but wondering roughly what it would be worth in the current market? I also have a bunch of mags for it. Is there a way to determine who made them? I recall them all being Steyr mags, but I want to verify. Thanks for any Attached File Attached File Attached File |

| Sold a PAC FAL build on an Imbel with a similar STG kit. IIRC - got $1200 on a quick sale at a show. Guy came looking for a FAL not made by Century or DSA - and we both were happy. |

Imbel kit build FALs go for around $1200 in my area as well. Or at least that is what the pawn shops put on them and they usually don't last. If it is a numbers matching kit it might be worth more than that. There should be serial numbers on the barrel, lower, carrier, and bolt. Nice rifle! |

Thank you for that. All of mine have the ground bevel and witness holes Originally Posted By osprey21: Nice rifle! Your mag appears to be Austrian/Steyr, although the Korean mags also have witness holes. One way to tell the difference: Korean with stamped/folded bevel. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/766/korea_stamped_bevel-3751591.jpg Austrian with ground bevel: https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/766/austrian_ground_bevel-3751592.jpg |

If it was , I might be that guy. |

For what its worth I sold a very similar rifle, same receiver and whatnot but just with a dsa railed top cover for 1800 last year or so FalFiles archive link - https://www.falfiles.com/threads/stg-58-kit-build-on-imbel-reciever.510253/#post-5924916 |

Wow, nice. Looks like yours was numbers matching, which seems to help the value a good bit. I ended up listing mine on a local gun board, and it sold in an hour for 1300. I was happy with that, and I think the new owner was happy as well. Sad to see it go but I'm more into modern boring stuff these days.
