You gotta stop saying stuff like this without including a payment link, just accept my money already.

No, no, he's not going to take yer payment in 2022 dollars.  For the A2s, it'll be 2023 dollars at least.

Mike - Can you give us an idea of what the products will be released first?  I think you had mentioned that receivers and barrels are money makers. I was specifically wondering about black A1 uppers.

C/S length buttstocks would be a nice touch.

T48!??? Man if you could pull that off you would be a legend. I know tons of FAL diehards (including myself) that would give their left nut for a faithful reproduction. Even if you just made quality FAL parts for sale I guarantee you couldn’t get them out fast enough. OG parts have gotten crazy pricey and scarce, and DSA is so hit or miss.

need to set up an email subscription so we know when the site gets updated with pricing, availability, or anything else

I think it would be a good way to gauge interest as well

They've got to have an idea of pricing by now. But just saying they are similar to X brand isnt cutting it.

Yes,   Anything more on this? Or perhaps another thread in the FAL/Armory section here or on the FAL Files?

I know egos run immense in the aftermarket, repro, retro, surplus and collecting world but you'll probably want to get to know one cranky know-it-all SOB who does in fact know-it-all about FALs ( Mark Graham AKA Gunplumber of ARS ,  Arizona Response Systems).   No filters on what comes out of his brain and mouth just calls it like he sees it.  I believe he has high regard for the Nodak products  But perhaps a bit skeptical of the PSA merger.   Many complain of his personality but nobody nobody complains of his work and knowledge.

It’s the same basic design as the PSA PA-9 so there are already holes for the ejector and feed ramp.

I decided against any additional holes in the lower.

+10000 I can't believe the demand for them!
Also I know this is a hell of a lot, but perhaps a A1 length buttstock using A2 material.

If C7's were available before they had to be serialized, that would be great too.

If the remaining area is solid aluminum it would be pretty easy to drill holes through it and put in some roll pins, if someone really wanted the original Colt look.

The Sterling is head and shoulders above other WWII subguns IMHO. I would make room in my safe for an H&R branded one, especially if it was integrally suppressed.

Good luck in ALL of your endeavors JJE.

For me, Gordons. May not be as retro some other stuff but 90’s tech is getting to be in that category whether we like it or not.
