I'm an FAL owner.........again! (Just a bit excited about it too)

[yorec]

Actually twice! I've been missing my FAL since trading it to another loving home last year and have been just looking for the opportunity to get a hold of one again. That opportunity came last week in the form of a sealed auction.

I bid on a total of 4 guns in the auction and came away with 3 for prices that would make you cry with envy so I won't mention them. (AHH! I can't help it, spent under a grand all told! ) The results were 2 metric Century Arms L1A1s in 98%+ condition with B-square scope mounts (post ban configuration and the receivers are stamped CIA & L1A1, but I don't know who the manufacturer was yet), 15 twenty round magazines, a rifle case, and a pre-ban Norinco NHM91 (AK variation) in LNIB condition with all the accessories. I doubt that all three rifles have fired a hundred rounds between them.

Sorry about the braggin' bit, but I realize how lucky I was to get these rifles. Opportunities like that don't come along every day! I'm going to have to sell one of them to a friend of mine to defray my costs, but the other two will be my shooters. Hey, George, when's the next Utah TFL shoot? Bragging about these babys ain't enough, I gotta show 'em off too!

Congrats yorec!
I too am waiting on the opportunity to grab another one. I sure do miss mine which I had to sell several years ago.

On another note, I went to the last gun show looking for just the "right" one (FN Heavy barrel version). Didn't find it, so I just bought me a new Harley instead.

Don'cha just hate it when ya got several grand burnin' a hole in your pocket?

They are great rifles though.

yorec, I'm not sure when the next get-together is going to be yet. Send me your e-mail address and I will add you to the Utah TFLer mailing list. George appointed me "Secretary of Utah" I tried adding your regular e-mail and got an error message.

Congrats on the guns. I love my FAL!

Congrats, had my Century FAL (IMBEL receiver) out on the range two days ago. Check this out. My thing is CQB with shotguns and hanguns and I can't even get a drivers license without a note from my eye doctor. I still shot 4 in groups at 100 yards with mil surplus ammo. I love my FAL. Question, what spare parts do I need? Or should I just buy the S African kit for $100? Happy FAL'en

Lucky &%*#$&%*@$!*!!



Sealed Auctions... Gotta love them.

Next time you have one up there - bid on the Uzi for me

We will probably have one soon enough - no later than March. If you are coming down this way some time - let me know... we can grab a few guy along the way and - hell this is Utah - 10 minutes outta any city and your in good shooting country.

(This time I WONT forget the Chicken!)

George, forgot you were such an Uzi fan. Had a local guy here selling an Uzi pistol last year. He wanted something like $100.00.


Just kidding, it was a lot more (5X more, that I didn't have ), sorry 'bout that. I will keep you in mind if I hear of another.
