Bought at a gun show for just under $1350
264 Surplus Rounds 11 Mags w/ pouches DSA Top Cover and Orig Top Cover Imbel FAL w/ new-ish (100 rounds through it) Imbel barrel (I think it is crome lined) First FAL, a guy I was talking to said something about it being a xxx58 something. I don't really know much about them. http://i45.tinypic.com/sy70gn.jpg |

Quoted:
I also noticed it has a 3 position safety, 1 marked E (right below the "S") and a third directly north of the trigger with what looks kind of like the shape of Alabama. The trigger is locked in this position, but what is this third position for? ETA: The Alabama-shaped marking could be a stylized D, I've seen mention of that, apparently for "double" or something similar, to indicate auto-fire. The more better known German markings are the S-E-F that H&K use so famously: Sicher- Safe Einzelfeuer- Semi-Automatic Feuerstoß (aka Feuerstoss)- Fully-Automatic I'd bet the S and E mean the same on yours. |

Yeah I knew the S and E meant safe and semi, I was just confused about the "D" |

Nothing definite, but I only did a couple quick Googles, and I do not have legendary-quality Google-fu. |

You made out like a bandit. I don't know about "bandit" status. $100 for the ammo $165 for the mags $60 DSA top cover That leaves $1025 for the rifle. Not a bad deal. I believe that the bipod cut Imbel barrels are indeed chrome lined. Where do you find $15 mags? Cheapest I have found are $20-25 |

Here's my latest haul, 19 Belgian? mags I paid $270 plus the guy threw in the mag loaders for free.

I got 'ya beat..... $5 each for these mags!! I bought them off of a guy because he said that they didn't work in his DSA SA58. One of them had a bent feed-lip but the rest were exactly like the other 14 that I already have for my Izzy. I cycled a bunch of dummy rounds through them and they all appear to work just fine, but I've marked the floorplates to keep an eye on them as they are used at the range. I suspect that the other guy's receiver has the BHO holes drilled too low, which has happened to a few DSA receivers. The mags had been filed on at the rear to make them sit higher in his rifle. They are right in the middle of spec for my Entreprise receiver, and as a result, they fit. |
