    Should I build it, or sell it?
    And when I mean build it... I mean send it out... Little to much for me?

    Send it out... It's a great weapon to add to the arsenal. Assuming you have an arsenal.

    Derek at azex does good work if you end up having it built and you can't find anyone local to do it.

    I'm building mine. Just waiting for the vise and receiver wrench. I have two parts kits in storage and a bevy of compliance parts waiting to go. Then take it to the Dulles Gun Show in February and see what types of insane offers get made on it!

    No battle rifle collection can be complete without a FN FAL (G3/HK91/CETME and M1A are the others). They are highly regarded as great rifles. Can't go wrong with one and they will turn heads in a sea of ARs at the range.

    I spoke to them a while ago, Did not like the Manf of my receiver as I recall.

    Matt, You will have to let me know how it works out for you. Maybe I can get you to help with this one!

    Glad to help. I have the FAL armorer's information and several guides. Always happy to help a fellow shooter. If you're looking to do it yourself, you'll need the vise and the wrench to get the old receiver stub off and index the barrel to the new receiver. Once that is done, it's screws, hammers and punches. All straightforward.

    Thanks... I am sure I can index, as the stub was removed before I got it. But, I'll look-up the vise and wrench this weekend. I'll hit you up if I have more questions.

    Thanks again!
