I was looking at the Cali-fals out there, and I came to the conclusion that I need one. I was really torn between just buying one, or trying to save a few bucks and getting a parts kit and building it up, legally pinned mag of course. Is it a hard build from parts kit, harder than an AR? Thanks |

No it's fairly simple if u can already build an AR, the only thing u would have to invest in would be the headspaceing guages and a receiver wrech other than that if u have tools which most of us do! Here's the pic's of my very first buildMy first FAL Build |
Wow is that from the parts set that I sold you? Looks nice! |
A fixed 10 round mag remove the rifle from the "feature" ban list.  A fixed mag is defined as ..."removal will require the use of a TOOL" Screw driver and a bullet is defined as a tool.  To build one you'll need: Receiver wrench - (barrel vise would be nice) Long 1/2" socket wrench with cheater bar Go/No-Go gauge solid vise on a solid bench. Cliper would be useful to measure locking shoulder. Scotch Tape A way to drill and tap the mag release. 10 round mag Stripper clip top cover Check out FALFILE.Com for detail build instructions. Parts kit come in different flavor of quality, and priced accordingly. STG are good kits, almost new condition most times (check DSA). You'll also need to get at least 6 (or 7 if have muzzle ) USA made parts. It is a Fed ATF reg. Depending where you get your reciever - $240 - $450, parts kit $200 - $400, tools ~ $100 USA parts ~ $120 New Shoulder Lock maybe - $25 10 round mag - $15 - $30 DROS / dealer fee ~ 20 - 50 $700 - $1100. Check Entreprise, sometimes they have whole gun sales...  |

The California Assault Weapon ban is not that difficult to understand and is descibed in full in a pinned thread at the top of this forum. |
