I need some help identifiying a FAL. I bought this gun from a coworker who couldn't tell me anything about it.
Is this a "unibrow" or "widows peak"? The receiver says: L1A1 Sporter Cal 308 Receiver made by IMBEL - Brazil Imported by CAI St. Alb VT The gun has a thumbhole stock

ETA: If you don't mind sharing, what did you pay for it? I traded motorcycles with a guy and because my bike was worth more he traded me some guns. I actually thought this gun was a POS and someone offered me $100 for it at a gunshow! Glad I kept it and read up on it. |

From your description, it sounds like it's Inch.
Your picture didn't work. Check out The FALfiles. Lots of great stuff over there. You won't be able to stop at one. |

Anyone know if the gun is inch or metric? I don't know shit about FALs, and would like to put a pistol grip and stock on it... but I believe I need to add 7 parts made in the USA for it to be legal? Looks like this but the barrel is longer. http://www.courter.org/guns/rifles/l1a1spl.jpg If you look at the cut in the receiver below the chamber in your original post picture and compare it to the same cut in the receiver in the next post, you'll see you have a cut for a Metric magazine, while the receiver in the next pic is an Inch pattern cut. |
