Ok,
Trying to figure out what I've got here. I haven't seen an FAL like this, it's a little confusing.
First off the barrel is 17-1/4 " from the front of the rec to the tip of the barrel.
Cut down and threaded I'm guessing?
But the bore is excellant. No pits no dark spots, rifling looks great.
Gas regulator is broken, Gas tube has a little crack in it.
Is there supposed to be a pin that holds it in the correct place when you thread it into the gas block?
There's a hole but no pin.
As for markings on the receiver, it says:
FA-FAL F.A.C OF AMERICA
FRIDLEY,MN
D.C.INDUSTRIES ST.PAUL, MN
No carry handle cut, takes metric mags but it appears to have an inch(L1A1) charge handle.
The lower has no marking what soever that I can find and has been what looks like nickel plated ?
Take down lever is turned horizontal (haven't seen that before)
Take a look at these pics and let me know what this is if you can.
If I keep this and fix it up that plated crap is gone.
Any ideas ?????? Worth fixing up ??
