I bought it, but it was a long time ago
Clearly not everything here, but can it be made into a gun? Better off just buying a full DSA rifle?

Missing a lot of parts.
(Fixed list) Bolt hold open and parts Safety selector switch Frame locking lever Frame lock and parts Frame locking plate Stock and screw Pistol grip and screw Locking shoulder Charging handle Gas plug Gas regulator Rear sight assembly Trigger guard Can’t see in the picture if there is a muzzle device or not Magazine Probably missed a couple things. Plus you would need to buy an upper receiver and need US made parts. |

You could supplement the missing parts with some US made parts to keep it legal. 6 (or 7 parts if using a FH) needed to make it legal.
US made parts usually available that are missing are: Receiver Stock & Pistol Grip Charge Handle Flash Hider Magazines (might count as multiple parts toward US parts count) Just guessing would probably cost $800++ to collect parts needed. Plus the tools and knowledge needed to assemble might just be easier to buy a complete rifle. |

Funny thing is I’m sort of in the process of doing the same thing, building an FAL from parts left over from previous builds.
I made a post a while back: Archived Thread I missed buying a Israeli kit from PSA though because they had already sold out. I finally have all the parts I need to build a complete rifle and the tools just don’t have the time and I need to mount my vise to my workbench. Hopefully I’ll get time to do it by Easter week when I’m on vacation. |

Looks like a project that would just make me look for a complete rifle. Building those is not like putting together an ar. |

FYI if any of those other parts have RA serial #s stenciled on them or more green paint they will sell at a premium like the dust cover would. If so and you are not into building a Rhodie clone I would advise just selling the parts on Fal Files $$$ |

Does the barrel have markings? |
