cleaning up and finding a lot of old stuff

this is how i did a para cut on my reciever.  para and stock cover work so i can convert it to para whenever

para cutter.  hand drill and extension needed. practiced on a STG stub







threading die and guide.  need to bring down diameter of barrel a little.  the end results does not look as good as a lathe done, but its all covered under a muzzle device.

Indeed they were.  I remember getting 2 parts kits from Tapco, (a German G1 and a hand select Imbel), for $149.00 shipped.  
I still have the rifle I built out of that kit on a $189.00 Imbel gear logo receiver.

I also bought several cases of FNM, BF and Hirt ammo at Knob Creek for $125.00 a case.

Those were indeed the golden age of FAL kit building and shooting.

Good memories.
