I am puting a G1 together and I am looking for a IMBEL recever at a reasonable price. Can someone tell me where to find one? Thanks

Definitely give FAC a call for Imbel receivers.

The FAC Imbels were imported by CAI and bear that mark on the receiver. If you ever want to sell the rifle, it may frighten people off. If this is an issue for you, consider getting the Imbel from Dealer's Warehouse. They sell PAC imported Imbels, but they are about $40 more.

I know, an Imbel is an Imbel, but CAI markings have been known to scare off buyers.

That rifle is gonna be for his 12 year old son, so selling it is not ever gonna be a factor.
Sap, it's about time you got serious about this project.

There MAY be issues with the FAC imported receivers as far as quality. Some have reported they are having problems with barrels bottoming out in the CAI receivers, but not the PAC receivers. I would do a little research on FAL Files before I went ahead. The $40 difference may not be worth the additional headaches, if any.
