There is a guy on the FAL files who hasn't cleaned his weapon ( other than som eoil ) in over 10 years and has fired over 16,500 rounds thru it ( 7.62 x 51 / .308 win caliber ) It's still going strong and still as accurate as when just built.

It's known as "Old Dirty"

Imagine the abuse that they got, when used by a bunch of know-nothing, green kaydets

This was SO much more fun than I ever expected.

Might be time to book a trip to Spike Box Ranch in Benjamin Tx to hunt some wild hogs at night! Who's up for it?

Upgrade

The century arms receiver needs a little bit of work so I decided to upgrade to a much higher quality reciever, an Imbel which is forged. Purchased one on GB last night.

I also picked up some goodies for the sporter to bring that back to it's former glory.

wooden stock, US made pistol grip, US made gas piston, wooden forearms
plus US made mag floor plates. ( need 7 US made parts due to 922r )

British L1A1 parts kit I purchased back in the mid 90 for $99 ( they're going for $500 - $700+ right now) plus a receiver I purchased.

Here's what they look like assembled

I also have a "sporterized" L1A1 purchased around the same time as the kit which I found out I can legally convert back to original specs by replacing 7 of 17 parts wityh US made parts.

The sporter has a thumbhole stock plus the flash hider cut off ( "angry beavers" according to the FALfiles forum)

Good glass makes a world of difference. The detail and clarity is amazing.

Looks like a great set up.
