US Made FAL Recievers?
Any opinions on who makes good ones?

Gang,
I was asked to create a sticky noting the current price to FAL Files members on receivers. I will update this post in the future with any price changes. Note we do not offer discounts on any other items, nor are there any "group buys" on DSA products organized through DSA.
The current price for FAL Files members for receivers is: $350.
Thank you!
John

I did a FAL build with a parts kit and a DSA receiver. Everyone I talked to on the FAL Files said that DSA is the way to go, just more expensive than the others. I had no problems with there receiver. I would like to do another DSA build in the future.

I have the tools and the AGI video to lend if anyone needs them. Timing did not seem to be that difficult. Its a question of using the correct locking shoulder in the receiver. Metric parts kits are far more plentiful, hence cheaper.
Alot of the Inch parts will also work in the metric kits and Visa Versa. If I remember correctly metric mags will go in an Inch gun, but inch mags will not go in a metric gun.
Inch barrels index onto the receiver with spacers where as the Metric barrels need to have the shoulder shaved down.
Indian and Israeli barrels are another issue. Not sure but I think that you had to rethread the barrel
Did I help or confuse?
I studied it many times. If you want to try it I have the .308 Gages, Barrel Vise, Receiver Wrench, Locking Shoulder Gage, and a die to shave the metric barrel shoulder. Some how I lost my stock wrench in the basement of infinite clutter.
This is a tale of a legendary rifle from Texas known as Ol' Dirty. The rifle is owned by FAL Files and TX-FNFAL member, James. This is not a story for the faint of heart or for AR-15 owners so read at your own risk...
The chamber area has an incredibly nasty build-up of carbon (it actually now has an almost solid carbon feed ramp). The gas plug is pretty much frozen up from carbon fouling and I don't think the piston has been seen for some time now. The rifle still cycles perfectly and the accuracy is as good as ever. I have shot my rifles against this rifle many times and it is tough if not impossible to beat. Accurate shot placement out to 400 and 500 yards is common for James and Ol' Dirty.
It just goes to prove what the FAL can accomplish under the most extremely filthy conditions...
Current round count without cleaning:13,500
Let's open another can of worms and start a FAL build....
