That looks like a nice rifle. I sold a Imbel/STG build for $1200 about 10 years ago. In current market should go for more. People have been bidding up kit guns on Gunbroker.

In the current market I’d say $1800-$2200. Nuts.

Stripped gear logo Imbel receivers have been going for crazy money lately. Been seeing them sell on GunBroker for $1000+ regularly.
Coworker had to have an Imbel gear receiver. He paid $1200 for it. Then a Chilean kit he found locally for $1200. He asked (begged) me to sell him one of my $99 FAL Files kits. I still have 2 left unbuilt. Not turning loose of them for now. He has been buying mags off of GunBroker for around $20-$25 each. Someone had 5 aluminum mags in one of the lots they sold him. |

That's fucking ridiculous when forged DSAs are half the price. I had a couple gear logos and they were fine, but nothing exceptional. I actually had more problems with those than any of the half dozen DSAs I've built. |

Nuts. Id agree with this pricerange No way, unless it came with the original Austrian parts and furniture. Finish on the lower doesn't look correct for Austrian parts, so not sure if it is original/matching - if not, that's another hit. At that upper end of the price range you'd be better off looking for a Springfield import rather than a parts gun that is more than likely homebuilt. |

Have you looked at Gunbroker “sold” prices lately? I’m just calling it as I see it. I still see Imbel FAL’s as $800 rifles, but it’s no longer even close to reality. Hell, a stripped Imbel receiver went for nearly $1200 recently. |

The buy or sell side? This changes things considerably. As someone who sells often on gunbroker, I will say that gunbroker is very volatile. Just because X item sold for some crazy amount, doesn't mean that selling something similar or the exact same product is going to net anywhere close what the past ones did. I've posted rare items for sale at lower prices than comparable past auctions and got nothing but tirekickers and lowballers. There was a past auction for a matching #s STG58 on an Imbel receiver with 3 mags for $2K starting bid. It got no hits at closing. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/930304601 |

Okay, that is fair. When I go on gunbroker these days it’s mostly when people send me “wow look how much this sold for” links.

I've always liked the FAL. I know 308 is hotter than 7.62x51 but it should handle 308 ok. Still see 308 on the shelf at our local Wal-Mart.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By lew: That's fucking ridiculous when forged DSAs are half the price. I had a couple gear logos and they were fine, but nothing exceptional. I actually had more problems with those than any of the half dozen DSAs I've built. Keep in mind that Imbels are actually forged, but the dimensions are from the cast Type 3 design. So they are heavy duty receivers, and probably as a result better than anything DSA ever sold. Why Imbel went that route who knows, but that is how they made them- no lightening cuts on their uppers. (Unlike the type 1 forged, which was changed for F/A use to Type 2 due to some receivers cracking in heavy duty usage.) So I might not consider an Imbel twice the receiver a current DSA is, but it probably is stronger, plus you can match an Imbel kit up to it and be more “correct” than with any of the DSA receivers. I am kind of a snob- only LMT made DSA’s and Imbels for me... |

Didn’t pay a premium on mine either- just bought a bunch of Imbel and LMT made DSA’s long ago, built some, and still have plenty of projects to use the rest on. Back then the receivers cost more than the kits.
Only real issue I have had was my kid had his one piece ejector block shear off the ejector recently. DSA is warranty fixing it, with a 2 piece block, saving me from trying to fit one of my surplus blocks to it. My one big concern is how many other receivers do I have from the same batch...hmmmm. |

Back then the receivers cost more than the kits. I miss those days dearly.  Paid $389 for my IMBEL receiver, and DSA's were around $450. I paid $99-$120 for my Rhodesian kits.
