| I am going to be in Portland the 10th and 11th of this month and wondered if there were any FAL homebuilders that might be able to give me a hand. I have a Imbel kit I built on a Century receiver. I don't think that I got the barrel timed right. Bitch has a habit of not going all the way into battery when chambering a round. I have the barrel vise and receiver wrench, I just need some expert help. |

You might have better luck checking with the Oregon group on FALfiles- the folks there are very friendly and helpful, and its a pretty active community. http://www.falfiles.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=103 That said, when you say it's not going into battery, makes me wonder if the head-spacing is off i.e. wrong-sized locking shoulder. I know when I built my FAL I used go/no-go gauges to determine the exact size locking shoulder needed before I ordered it. Just a thought though, and there are folks much more knowledgable than me on FALs. |
