Hey everybody I have decided to move up in caliber and make an attempt on a FAL build.  I am already tearing through FALFiles.com and trying to find any other resources I can.  Does anyone out there have the FAL specific tools I will need that would be willing to let me borrow or rent them.  Or better yet, is there anyone who might be willing to lend a hand and give a bit of instruction?

Any advice is also appreciated.

I am going to get an Imbel kit and build on a Type II DSA upper receiver.  I would like to get the barrel chopped down to 16.25" and put a phantom on it. Maybe down the road add the Para folding lower and railed cover.  And if all that ever comes to fruition, I want to add the DSA railed fore-end.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Georgia is rich in FAL smiths.

I have all the required tools and can also cut and thread the bbl.  Only hitch is that you have to suffer through me explaining everything we are doing as we go.

Can I join this build? I've been wanting to build one of these for a while. Thanks.

If you want the experience, thats fine. DSA's complete rifles are pretty comparably cost to building your own these days.

I am not interested in setting up a build party at this time...I simply have difficulty blocking out that much time anymore.

I will be glad to help you with a build at a different time though.

Just understand that this is not my day job and I only help folks with builds in my spare time because I enjoy it.  So it is kind of a 'when possible' arrangement.

Oh, I am in Dawsonville.

I want to do the same to my Imbel FAL, only leave the solid stock on it.........a Congo rifle would be pretty cool
