Their probably the best FAL receivers you can buy for a parts kit build. I'd stay away from Coonan receivers because their quality went down and when customers complained they were unresponsive to their complaints.

>>33152898
Is it better to buy a FAL whole or as a parts kit if the only thing I care about is it being reliable?

>tfw ive got an Imbel parts kit soaked with cosmoline waiting for me to buy a reciever from coonan.

>>33152984
WHY?

>>33153006
Why what?

>>33153071
Why the coonan receiver?

>>33153077
I just bought a Coonan receiver. Literally nothing wrong with it. And it heats waiting a year for another group buy or paying twice as much for an Imbel that is slightly better

>>33152984
>tfw i have one i paid $150 for.

>>33153077
Coonan makes good shit yo.

>>33154283
>>33153348
Oh I heard they were shit?

>>33154515
Take it with a grain of salt. I guess they had one batch that was pretty out of spec and for a bit refused to fix it, but eventually did. That and that crusty fuck 'gunplumber' has some massive issue against them despite the receivers being fine. They are OK, the last batch (IE mine) seemed good, type 2 carry handle cut aside from a small bit of fitting it worked fine, hand timed perfectly to 11 o'clock

fn fal is named in the assault weapons ban, so you can't specifically have an fn fal, but you should be able to own something like a ds arms variant. The hk91 is also banned by name, but you can own and buy a ptr 91. The ban is basically useless. But, ianal, so do your own research because I could be wrong.

>>33156148
Sorry, fn is listed by name, imbel doesn't seem to be though. So I guess do more research.

Post receiver markings

No
>And are they legal in NJ?
They're banned by name, so it's a gray area.

no mention of DS Arms?

https://www.dsarms.com/c-828-rifles.aspx

shame.

LMT made DSA marked recievers are the best. Followed by FN made ones.

Century FALs are the undisputed best.

>>33152699
Hey I know I'm late to the thread but I have a dsa imbel in NJ that is completely legal

Im also in the fb and mewe group

>>33160046
Basically the receiver can't say FAL on it. Actual designation on dsa is dsa58. Not FAL. Some other receivers are also good to go

>>33159842
>>33159857
So that SAYS L1A1 on it, but what do all the stamps and markings mean? Is there a good resource out there for that sort of thing? Like a YooperJ, but for FALs?

So if the 2 most important things are reliability and that it is technically legal in NJ what FAL should I get?

>>33162291
Get a DSA receiver and whatever kit you can find. Build it with 922r parts. If its not reliable fix whatever is causing the issue.

>>33152875
Flandre is the only one who's done a FAL build tutorial on the internet

>>33159897
Why is there always 1 newfag bitchboy who doesn't know DSA is garbo?

>>33162291
You should save your money and leave NJ.

>>33159479
>>33159487
>retards

They are infact arguable the best. They are basically FN. the tooling are FN. they are FN licensed.

other arguable best is steyr

>>33162842
I think DS ARms makes their FALs off of Steyr tooling.

>>33162842
FMAP is basically FN. My 1980 Argy kit with original barrel had an FN inspector's mark on the barrel.

Best is definitely Steyr, then actual FN rifles, then Argentine/Imbel.

>>33162842
It's type 3 and it's made by Brazilians

Two reasons it's out of the running

LMT a best

>>33162856
>I think DS ARms makes their FALs off of Steyr tooling.

That's correct but DSA evidently cant manage it as well as steyr did.

>>33162867
yeah but argy arent as well machined as imbel.
argy's off spec. note the receiver underside weak curve.
>FN inspector's mark on the barrel
mine's is covered in enfield/BSA marking maybe some FN too.

>>33162931
so what? I like aesthetic of smooth slab side of type 3.

type 3 is stronger and will last forever. Imbel is a exception from "Brazilian make shit gun".

Sure LMT is one of best but its only receiver.

Quite a few IMBEL barreled kits in the US came from Chile. Some had genuine FN barrels, although IMBEL is just as good. Some were fully chrome lined and others had chrome chambers only. There is no way to determine if your IMBEL was imported from Chile as there were no unique markings, other than generally appearing to have been "carried a lot but shot very little" (the conflict with Argentina they were arming for never went hot). Many also lacked the serial number on the lower receiver. These were patterns that people noticed and are by no means definitive. I'm not sure why FALs were used by so many notable anti-communists regimes but personally I think it adds to the appeal. There might be another IMBEL GL receiver group buy in the future, but no word yet.

>>33163166
>yeah but argy arent as well machined as imbel.
Yea, no. They're just as good, if not better.

Nj bro reporting in again

>>33163531
You can have that break on your gun here?

>>33163531
What break? What thread pitch/direction?

>>33163939
>>33163965
>break
It's 'brake'

>>33163939
Muzzle brakes that are pinned and welded are legal. You aren't allowed to have a threaded muzzle.

>>33164141
yea but flash hiders arent

>>33164202
Where did I say they were?

>>33152915
Just buy a complete DSA and be done with it.

>>33164356
You didn't so thats why I wanted to know what break it is

>>33164404
Those are fine, reliable, and forged?

Its a dsa brake. Pinned and welded.

>>33164436
Why?

>>33166458
They cut so many corners and use shit parts. Would you want a $7000 rifle to come with fucking duracoat as the finish?

I have an Stg58 kit on a DSA cast receiver with a 16" DSA barrel and the thing runs like a raped ape.

Seriously, DSA is just fine.

>>33154893
Coonan would not be able to make correct receivers if it were not for that crusty fuck the gunplumber. The internet is an amazing thing where arguments and facts and pictures are saved for almost ever and if you know how to look you can find them. Falfiles and ak files, get a membership its worth it.

>>33159944
Yeah show me where I can buy an fn receiver in the united states, I got time. Also lmt marked dsa, something else that is also no longer getting made lol. Thats like saying the best AK receivers are izmash, ok cool what fucking good does that do anyone in the u.s. who cant get one?

i bought a complete DSA because I didn't know that you could get used StGs for not that much more. was already sinking $1100 in it and for $1300-1500 there's better.

>>33162931
Implying brazimonkeys cant make awesome weapons when they have correct tooling a la pt92, come on nigga at least try.

>>33169269
I already do. I've never seen Gunplumber do anything but bitch and moan

>>33169284
You buy a rifle with the reciever.

>>33169293
>Awesome
Yeah no. They can make acceptable copies. But type 3 was made to dumb it down for the Brazilians

>>33169269
Gunplumber is a fucking faggot.
