Tried posting this up at FAL Files, but I'm not getting much help...
I bought my FAL a few years back and just never seem to get the thing out. Cost of ammo, and overlap with a few of my other guns = the FAL gets ignored. I've never learned that much about them either and now I have a friend that is interested in buying it. So, seeing as how I don't know much about them, what do you think this would go for? Gunbroker prices seem to range from 700 to 1700... I paid $1000 for it originally. Imbel lower SG-58 built by Mike Ottley - former master smith at HS Precision. US Parts - Gas piston, vortec flash hider, mag follower and floor plate, forearm, grip, stock and cocking handle. Thanks all! I appreciate any help here. Here are some of the original pics the dealer sent me, I haven't done anything to it besides fire ~100 rounds through it and clean it.

I'd say $1000-1200 is going rate.
DSA still sells STG-58s for $1150, and AIM recently sold brand new one's for $1100. The thing about FALs is...they have always been "expensive". So when the AK/AR market exploded after Obama, the FALs market went up also, but not on the same level. Key reasons being, alot of people don't even know what a FAL is, AND the cost of .308 ammo. Not to mention fals were already $1000 guns before OBAMA, bottom line is, people are not paying stupid prices for FALs and they can still be round reasonably priced. I just bought a FAL last week built on a SA kit with a Imbel gear logo for $735. That being said, $1000 is a reasonable price, and if you think you can push it above that, so be it. 
Hope that helps. |

If you plan on selling that rifle on the internet, the key is to sound like you know what the hell you are talking about.
Write a THOROUGH description. Especially - every US part must be accounted for. What the hell is "vortec?" Do you mean Vortex? It makes a difference! That handguard doesn't look like any US handguard I've ever seen. Your pics pretty much suck. With new pics, and a well-written description, you should be able to get upwards of $1000 for that rifle on Gunbroker. |
