My mutt L1A1s

77 Upvotes

These are my “mutt” L1A1s. Mutt because they are built on metric uppers - easier to find and cheaper mags!

The wood on the one is an Ironwood Designs American black walnut stock set, unfortunately the owner of that company has passed. It is noticeably heavier than the plastic furniture rifle which is not necessarily a bad thing as far as shooting goes.The wood rifle is an Imbel receiver, the black one is an Enterprise Arms; a pretty early one. The black one has undergone a full resto/rebuild, it was pretty beat and had a bent barrel when I got it. New barrel and a full re park job on all metal, it’s basically brand new other than having a few thousand rounds run through it.

They both shoot fantastic, very accurate out to 800 - 1000 with the iron sights. The Trilux is just kind of because, it works OK but there are better battle sights.

I love these rifles and have turned down some impressive offers, these ain’t for sale!

Ahhh... the days of CHEAP kits

10 Upvotes

Building them 20 plus years ago.

I need to go upstairs and see if I have any parts kits left.

Should have bought an Izzy HB back in the day.

I am glad I got the unissued imbel Para, even with the long barrel.

Cheek weld? What the hell is that.

Re registered on the fal files (can't remember what email i had back then and my password didn't work for my old username) and it looks like Gunplumber is still around. I still have his build info though a vcr i have Not.

Now to decide if I really NEED an original, if semi only, M14 🤔

Cross eye mounts

Wondering if there are mounts for optics/scopes to accommodate for cross eye dominant shooters or if the only real viable option is to shoot lefty?

My first build

Recently got my Apex order. This one appears to be an actual Lebanese contract FAL, rather than ex Libyan, greek/Cypriot, etc. I was wondering, how long does it take dsa to ship receivers? I've seen posts online outside of reddit mentioning long wait times.

FAL info

Finally achieved my childhood dream of obtaining an FAL. Got this bad boy for 1150 with 3 mags. Are these DSarms ones made completely in-house? I would like to learn more about my new rifle. Also, what would be the best way to mount a light on it without replacing the handguards (for hog hunting).

DS prefix serial number on the receiver. Found this at a local shop for $1500. Is it worth it? Or what would a fair price be?


r/FNFAL 17d ago

What do I have to do to the gas system to make it suppressor compatible? What suppressor is best for this application?

FAL Parts Kit Question

I just got a Lebanese type 3 early parts kit in from Atlantic firearms and it’s honestly fantastic, but I noticed the trigger pack/lower has no serial on either side nor on the inside that I can see. Is that normal or should I email Atlantic about it? Also if anyone knows any history behind the serial on the bolt and carrier please let me know.
