Picked this up last friday. Needs a good cleaning, and probably will end up converting it to a para stock. From the looks it doesn't look like it's ever been shot.

Bill you don't know FAL?????
Is it an FN?
Don't you wish you could still walk into any gun dealer and buy a Browning made by FN at a reasonable price?
Nice FAL you have there....never fired!.....I'm jealous.

Not really into too many rifles.
AR-15, Rimfires, Marlin/Henry/Browning Lever actions I'm familiar with.
But FAL? Nope.

I have a pre-ban Springfield Armory SAR48, you will love the rifle as long as it was put together properly.
The FAL was the arm of choice for the free world for many many years. I have one built on Brazilian and Steyr parts on an Imbel receiver. Never let me down.
Those and the JLD PTR91 rifles are just fun. I wish 7.62 NATO surplus was still cheap. Last time I stocked up it was a 1,000 round case for 125 bucks. Now its .50 cents or more per shot.

I don't much enjoy shooting 22LR anymore. I sold my 10/22 ruger, and I think my marlin is the only .22LR I own anymore. I like the walther p22, just don't like the lack of capacity.

I have an Australian made L1A1 version of the FN-FAL that was made in 1969. It was originally made for the Singapore Police Force. It has most of the original finish left on it and is numbers matching. Very well built rifle, and I picked it up for $450.00 back in the middle 90's. Not sure what it would be worth today, anybody have any idea? Nice rifle you have Buffman, you will enjoy it for many years to come. When you shoot it, try changing the gas regulator settings to see which works the best. Mine works best on 5.
