Is buying an FAL the most confusing/difficult thing a gun owner can do?

>Boomers buying every kit that drops
>Kits may or may not be shit, and if they aren't, they all are missing the hardest to source component: the receiver
>Literally one (1) FAL receiver is viewed as being any good in its entire history
>Gunboomer sellers lie about what their supposed Imbel rifles actually are
>Imbel owners willing to sell are few and far between, and all of them know their gun commands a big premium
>Kit builds are actually more expensive than just buying one that isn't
>Magazines are horribly expensive and hard to source, and there are like eighty different kinds, and whether or not they are metric is important
>Zero options to put modern optics on them without having a rail welded to the top
>Expensive in all cases, including the guns who have a reputation for being shit for some reason
Fuck this.

>>64937097
I made the two in >>64936786 from just parts, not even incomplete kits, I bought at good prices. The 12 inch SBR is on a cast and the long boy on a forged, they both work, the cast isn't some pariah like boomers make it out to be. Keepshooting has good metric mags for $35, but of course they go oos fast. Also, who the fuck is welding rails to FALs? That's G3s.

I don't see how, unless you're trying to spend as much money on one as you might an objectively better gun like the MARS. There are perfectly good, budget AR-10s just like there are perfectly good, budget AR-15s. Plenty of people on this board will literally tell you that there's nothing wrong with buying a $500 AR and calling it a day once you put a red dot on there and maybe change the trigger.

Most parts and mags you will find are 'metric'. It is super easy to tell the difference between an 'inch' mag and a 'metric' mag, literally just google it. Learn how to look through photos on auctions. Seems fishy they don't have more photos? Ask. They don't provide more photos? Don't bid. Finally if you are having these types of questions/concerns you are in no way shape or form ready to actually build a FAL. Buy a DSA and call it a day.

SG has an ever so slightly better deal going if you buy 1,000 rounds. It's literally just five dollars in terms of difference (if you bought 1k rounds from Black Basin), but the point is that it's still /a/ difference. Black Basin's pricing is a temporary sale (it ends in about 5.5 hours).

I am mentioning this to those who miss out and still want reasonably priced Saltech @ .77cpr w/ free shipping.

I need some help /brg/. I fairly recently inhereted a FAL from my grandfather and took it to the range for the first time today. It's shooting 2-3 inches left and I've run out of windage adjustment on the rear sight.as far as I can tell the front sight is not canted and the barrel *looks* straight. Can anyone give me some causes / fixes? Thanks.

Forgive me for posting this here but I checked the catalogue and found no other thread came as close, and my question doesn't really warrant making one just for my question.

I'm modeling an M82 for fun and wanted to ask if you see anything particularly off about it? I'm not going for super realism, it's a bit on the low poly side so it's meant to be a bit simplified compared to the real thing, I'd just like to nail the "essence" of the gun if that makes sense.
Is the scope too big? The barrel is on the short side because I like the more compact look of it but I imagine it'd be miserable shooting this irl

If your going to paying current msrp for DShitA you may as well save a little more and get a Robinson XCR-M. At least those take AR10 mags and basically are an evolved FAL-K2-AK hybrid. For whatever reason No Leo or Gov has ever bought any, ever. Maybe just maybe that means the company actually doesn't engage in corruption

Holy based. I love great design so much.

>>64944462
Can't you buy a DSA for 40-50% less, moreso if you are buying used. At a minimum, the XCR-M starts at 2,700, right? With those sorts of margins, you're better off saving up even more and buying an LMT, no?
>>
>>64944462
Yeah might be a good idea if you have an extra $1,295 burning a hole in your pocket, but I built my Imbel FAL on a forged receiver for $1,400 and shit works just fine, still prefer my PTR 91 though.

The FAL is not worth it anymore imho. They were fun, interesting 3-4 MOA beaters back when you could build one from a cheap parts kit, but those days have been gone for over a decade now.

Good. Keep all your brass. BOTL for a single stage press for making your own ammo. That will add a great deal of accuracy to your shooting. Measuring your powder, sorting bullets by weight, seating the bullet to your rifle's individual headspace, improving concentricity, and checking finished rounds in a bullet gauge, this reqires less investment than a more expensive rifle and you will outshoot those who have them.

Greetings gents, I have a simple question.
How should I mount a fal in a trunk like picrel? I was thinking a simple gun rack or something up high near the spare tire area.
I just want it to be secure in the trunk so it doesn't thump around all over on my trips to the range.
Doesn't need to be fancy or expensive, it just needs to JustWork.
Thank you.

Ironically had this same issue with mine. Turned out I had a whole recoil spring sheared inside my bolt carrier assembly. Mine had some rust issues but I guess it eventually ate away at one of my springs.
Took a quick trip back to KT and they fully replaced the springs. They'll also test fire it, and maybe remove the rings on your piston if it helps cycle.
Hope you're the original owner so you can get free shipping and service. I've claimed to have lost the receipt before and still got full warranty service and shipping.

Never had to threaten anything for my warranties. Always gotten help and they've taken care of my problem child. I will not deny that the QC is complete shit, but they do take care of you (source: I'm the RFB anon with 5 warranty trips)
>>
>>64959713
Not knocking KT here but after the 2nd warranty trip I'd be ditching it altogether, let alone 5. I've tossed around the idea of getting a RFB but I don't know if I have the patience for that much maintenance

Ever since Lake City surplus dried up, it's fallen to Saltech to become the new "standard" in best M80 ammo. They simply straddle that line of being more expensive than the cheapest stuff (i.e. reloads or Igman or some other random shit), but being better and more consistent in return. At the same time it also doesn't do what retarded shit like Winchester or Federal where they think they deserve to charge you 1.75 per round and simultaneously, somehow, still be bad. There are more expensive and more accurate ammo out there than Saltech, but it's much more expensive and not range ammo. Similarly there's much more expensive and better penetrating ammo, but it's all surplus and costs around $2-10 a round depending on how the boomer selling it feels.

>>64959383
I'd say for most people an ar10 is probably the right choice.

Get something you like and want to shoot. I've put more rounds through a gun I bought 6 months ago than one I bought 10 years ago.
>>
>>64959816
If you have the SCAR, you should dump it at some point before the new one comes out and is readily available, then you'll be in a hole. I am willing to bet you spent $3200 on that SCAR since that's around what everyone is scalping at. If the new one comes out, and FN doesn't drip feed like they did the original SCAR then the value will deflate to become commensurate with the going rate of the new one. Happens without fail unless the old one is rare and/or mechanically better, and it probably won't be the latter and it definitely isn't the former.
>>
>>64959780
Completely understandable. This is just a very sentimental rifle since it's my first gun purchase. It will never be an heirloom to pass down, but I just like it God damn it.

It was at a range I went to a while back, they bent some thick wire into a hook shape that they then fed through a pegboard and put some 1/2 inch pipe insulation on the hook. They were anal about the guns always facing downrange so each bench had had a pegboard setup with enough hooks for 3 rifles or shotguns each

Good advise financially but I plan on shooting my nostalgic rifle until it till it breaks in 10 years because I voided my warranty by putting a suppressor on it.
Also everything in my safe is discontinued, some to the point that there are gen 3 version of them out now.

Found the problem. Damn you whoever said the rfb is the most slept on Semi auto 308. I'm the faggot who listened to strangers on 4chan.

I know kel tec is kel tec but still it looks neat. I figured for the price and how it's been out a while, it wouldn't be such dookie. Thankfully I am the original owner so I can get it fixed for free but I just can't feel good about owning it anymore. It's a cool gun and lots of fun at the range but shit like this gives me a sad about having bought it over an ar10 or 10 hi points.
>>
>>64963944
This is exactly why I hate Keltec. It'd be one thing if they made shitty looking guns poorly, but to make cool looking guns poorly is an unforgivable crime.

He even was telling me about how he had sold off most of his collection because he was too old, and had only kept a few rifles for sentimental reasons to give to his kids.
>>
>>64964117
>he had sold off most of his collection because he was too old
And if you had been in his life sooner, you may have caught that wave. I went over to my neighbor's yard sale to look at his crap secondary, and meet him and chat primary. He's 80.

By the time you "ship of Theseius" it, you will have a new rifle! Hang in there, champ!

Oof, thanks for the info at least I was tempted to get one to pair with my FAL.
>>
>>64963944
Not familiar with RFB, what am I looking at? A piece that the recoil spring is resting against broke off?
>>
>>64959159
I would JB Weld neodymium magnets to the trunk lid and add a replacement gas strut from a Dodge Caravan rear door. Then cover it with crushed red velvet with velcro edging for opsec. Finish lining the trunk in black velvet and adhesive spray and add an Elvira tribute photo to tie it all together. Handcuffs, zipties and duct tape optional accessories.

They're built on original machinery for making FALs too. No reason to screw around with parts kits.

My last 4 kits weren't from falfiles. One was from FN. One appeared as an unissued FALO, also not falfiles. Maybe you need to expand your horizons and stop blaming?

A little but it’s still a good gun. It would be more retarded to spend that much on a bad gun.
>>
>>64959159
Don’t you think your rifle would be more comfortable riding up front?
>>
>>64964999
Happened to mine as well, was the reason for warranty trip #4. The recoil spring works against the tube, which is welded to the bolt carrier. It can break off, causing the gun to work with only one of the two recoil springs.
>>
>>64965796
You're a fucking retard.

Typical.

>>64958346
I dumped like 4k into a Suppressed FAL 16" setup we're all retarded here, but that's half the fun of owning a Battle Rifle. Outside of needing a cheap AR with a red dot and flashlight (don't even need a proper mount just tape a semi decent flashlight on) for home defense why would I want to fantasize about needing a rifle to not die?

The T48 and AR-10 were robbed, we were so close to greatness.
>>
>>64966995
>T48
AR-10 is better design by a long shot.
>>
>>64967012
Only because the AR-10/AR-15 has had way more dumped into refining it. Out the bat the only thing special was the use of aluminum.
>>
>>64967024
For example, we could have had a NATO RPK in the T48 with AR-10s being the service rifle, that way we didn't have to get into fire mode autism with .308 and just let the riflemen focus on accurate fire with one guy per fireteam with a more controllable 30 round burst, which is exactly what happened in vietnam with chopped down L1A1s.

Hey /brg/ rate my wood.

Hello BRG, I am acquiring (in the near-ish- future) a PTR-91. I am looking to run this thing with a suppressor, the Velos 7.62 LBP which I already have.
The rifle has a 16" barrel, so am I correct in assuming I'll need a #17 locking piece to ensure proper function, even though the can is a low back-pressure can?
>>
>>64965036

I got my 80% and kit from him literally 6 years ago now. I email him like once every 6 months and he never replies. All I am trying to do is get my STGW57 finished by him and I have the money to drop right now, and it seems like he ignores me. Do I need to email a few times in a shorter burst or does he hate me or something?
>>
>>64967496
I asked him about building my kit, and he said he’s pushed a year and a half out on builds. From what it sounds like, PE-57’s and STGW-57’s are all a side project for him, and he works a regular job outside of it

Got my tax return back. Redpill me on a RAK308-C vs a PTR? I am generally not a fan of Riley Defense but .308 AK sounds based. Is one easier than the other to mount an optic on? Or are both going to shake your optic like an Irish baby?
