I took it to the range today and put some Wolf through it
My first FAL and I'm an average shooter, I love the skinny front sight post. 50yds 
100yds You can see that I adjusted the sights 
200yds 
Not bad at all IMO, I'm very pleased and this may be my new long distance hurricane gun

Imbel kit parts build?? Or does CAI get their parts from another source?

..and the gun doesn't even have an Imbel receiver so no idea what parts kits was used. |

Looks like maybe an STG-58 kit.

My new DSA STG58 was a jam o matic, kinda scared me away from FALs. Glad yours like so many other I read about is reliable.

Does Century usually not fuck these up, or did Ghetto get lucky?

Centry L1A1 was my first FAL, only problems I had were ––crappy furniture, later upgraded and the Century gas piston bent up in the gas tube (common problem with CAI's US made piston) replaced with another US made brand and no issues from there. Some were mising the allen screw locking the front sight pin (in hole in front of gas block) at whatever elevation make sure its there and tight after any adjustments. OH and if it has one of the CAI muzzle breaks on it SOME still have the threads underneath and are secured by a welded over pin, easy to replace with an original L1 flashider if you are not in a still banned state.
looks like you got the STG pattern/type rifle as opposed to the L1 ––same thing I'd remove the CAI muzzle break and put on an stolle or browning flashider sometimes they are sliver solderd sometimes pinned/welded a darkspot at the 6o'clock position of the break will tell you if its pinned usually. |

It could be a home build on a Century receiver, or a Century build (not sure whether they used STG-58s or not). Try twisting it off first, it should be left hand threaded (twist clockwise). It's possible it was pinned on or sweated on.

the muzzle breaks can be a bit tricky to remove the soldered ones ––heat the break up till the solder runs out underneath the brake then twist it off while the solder is still hot heat the brake from the tip while the barrel is held in a vise and dont heat the bbl too much as it can bend if you get tit too hot ––keep the torch moving and try to stay on the muzzle end of the break.
OR Pinned ––- best way I found was to hacksaw down the center of the break to just shy of the bbl muzzle then use a dremel with a cutting wheel to groove the top and bottom of the break the rest of the way down as far as you dare without touching the bbl tape up behind the brake to protect the bbl finish once you have done that put a chisel in the end of you cut and split the brake lengthwise (splits easy) that way you wont booger the threads gettin it off or get driven crazy drilling the pin out OR you cut the bbl behind the brake and rethread and put what you want on it––also easy with a TAT (thread alignment tool) and die. |
