[ARCHIVED THREAD] - FAL Refinishing

Posted: 11/18/2009 4:53:35 PM EDT

I built this FAL myself quite a few years back. I never bothered to do anything with the finish. I was thinking about sending it off for parkerizing? Any suggestions on what I should do and who I should have do it?

It is pretty much a mutt:
Pacific Armament Corp. Modesto CA marked Gear Logo Imbel Receiver. PAC6xxx.
Imbel? Rhodesian R1 kit less barrel.
Steyr STG 58 bbl w/ Excellent Bore.
Stolle FH. (I still have Imbel Combo Device)
Indian Selector Lever. (I still have Imbel Std. Selector Lever)
OD Green Australian Carry Handle.
Std Imbel Gas Plug. (I still have the R1 Grenade Launcher Sighted Plug, I think it wasn't broke)

US Parts are as follows.
FSE Folding Charging Handle.
DSA Hammer, Trigger, Sear.
Penguin Premium Handguards and Buttstock.
Tapco SAW Pistol Grip.

Sweet rifle.... there's a couple guys on FAL files that can refinish it if you want. Personally I like the 'I just got back from killing some motherfuckers' patina.
