Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - SLC FAL Builders or Gunsmiths?
Posted: 1/18/2006 9:26:43 AM EDT
I just finished my FAL build but would like to have it looked over by someone with a little more experience than me before I go shoot it.  As ugly as it is, I'd still like to keep my face in one piece.  

Any suggestions?

The only concern you really should have is the head spacing.  Did you head space it yourself or have someone help you?  I have a set of FAL head spacing pins, (I've done a couple builds of my own).  You'll most likely need to replace the locking shoulder.

I've done all of that.  Headspacing seems good, closes with a little pressure on go gauge, won't at all on no-go.  I just want someone to look it over so I don't blow my head off first time I take it out.
