He is still trying to sell that?

This thread with that auction has popped up several times in the last several months.

Yeah, he's been trying to sell that abortion for a few weeks now.

There's also a Mexican-colored 1911 still hanging around I think.

Whoever built that thing went through all that trouble, and then put a crappy B-Square mount on it??!? Did you see that massive gap between the back of the mount and the lower receiver? Garbage!

I feel better now..

Looks easy enough to fix, remove the shotgun forend, remove the muzzle doohickey unscrew the carry handle and you're back to FAL. He ought to discount it for the effort required to get the ghetto crap off that thing.

In his own words it is a "mutant combination." Around here we eliminate mutants!

how did he get a reciever from FAC, i was under the impression that the FAC catalog was just a photographic listing of shit they didnt have in stock.

Yes.

OMG that word. You can't look at any gun magazine or parts/accessories catalog without every other damn thing being "tactical"

A decent concept, I mean seriously, who would like to have AR sights on a FAL? Just implemented horribly, with cheap parts, IMHO.

Posted: 4/4/2006 11:34:09 AM EDT

[#27]

My heart bleeds for that poor FAL.

Posted: 4/4/2006 11:36:36 AM EDT

[#28]

I think it was a pretty darn good idea getting rid of the FAL rear sight. Those things suck! The AR rear sight is far superior.

Posted: 4/4/2006 11:53:19 AM EDT

[#29]

Remarkably disturbing.

Anybody think those sights actually line up with the bore?

Posted: 4/4/2006 11:59:32 AM EDT

[#30]

I can't believe I've bid over $800 and still haven't won. God damn.

Posted: 4/4/2006 12:06:49 PM EDT

that thing needs to be put out of its misery, only proplem is it looks like one of those monsters thats really hard to kill!

Posted: 4/4/2006 12:09:13 PM EDT

[#32]

KILL IT WITH FIRE.

It's the only humane thing to do now.

Posted: 4/4/2006 12:12:05 PM EDT

The term "ruinous abortion" came to mind when I saw that thing.

Posted: 4/4/2006 12:21:59 PM EDT

I love FALs, but that thing makes my peepee hurt!

I actual stuck the front part of a chopped carry handle on my fal in front of a aimpoint. It didn't look half bad, besides what else was I gonna do with that left over part of a carry handle anyway

While it looks like an airsoft abortion smacked together for some low budget sci-fi movie, I will give the guy credit for figuring out a way to equip a FAL with iron sights that are worth a damn.
