It's better to have it & not need it, than to need it & not have it.

Very nice. I say Duracoat it, make that baby look like she did when she rolled off the original line!

Just because you're right doesn't mean I'm wrong.

Nice para. I got one of my Imbel receivers cut to accept a folder, but I don't have the stock. One of these days......

Cool, did you get a chance to shoot it yet?
I agree with the duracoat

Went to the range with it today.
Shot 70's dated Indian ammo
Only shot at 25m as I had several rifles to zero today and daylight was fading....
Once I had her dialed in, I could keep all 5 rounds in a ragged hole.
I was shooting at a paper plate with a 1"-1.5" spray of black paint in the center. No problem at all keeping all 5 rds in that circle, and it did easily whenever asked.
I did have to bottom out the front sight, and I have to take a "Sig Combat" type of hold on the target (hold center mass...not 6-o'clock).
Recoil was surprisingly mild.
Should be a good shooter, as Moses predicted when he screwed it together, owing to the cherry barrel

Sweet. I remember that feeling with my first FAL that I screwed together!
