If it is an inch kit then it should use inch mags, but since it uses metric mags the receiver was probably modified to take metric mags. I am thinking it is not Australian or British. If it is built from an L1A1 then it is an inch FAL, so therefore it could even be Pakistani or Indian L1A1 kits.
3 years ago you could get a complete FAL parts kit for as low as $150, these kits have everything to build an FAL except receiver. There are a lot of nice FAL part kits out there from real Military Arms Factories, such as Steyr and Imbel, nothing wrong with these kits. The 3 years before that, I have never heard of a bad DSA rifle (2005-2008)Ĭlick to expand.Most likely "FN License" parts.
The past year and half there has been many cases of bad DSA rifles on the FALfiles. * DSA's are known for quality, but even they are not immune to poor QC. or you could just go with a DSA* rifle, your pocket book will be a lot lighter, but you probably will sleep better at night. If problems arise you can always talk smack on the FALfiles to that will guarantee your gun will be fixed. If that rifle is an Enterprise build, I would take the chance and get it since the price is right.
On the FALfiles, there are some builders who refuse to build with Enterprise Receivers, it is either DSA receivers or nothing (They also like Foreign Military Receivers such as Imbel but the supply of these have dried up), that the DSA receiver is the easiest to work with an will almost guarantee you a well built gun. The receiver is the heart of the gun and just about all parts connect to it, if the receiver is out of spec, then most likely the gun will be very poorly put together. So in the end I can't complain as the price was right (~$850).Įnterprise builds seems to be hit or miss. After filing down the underside of the receiver, gun works flawlessly (even though gas plug is still frozen on the middle setting). Those are just the issues I am aware about. The Gas plug is also frozen, have not got around to fixing this yet though. I had to file the underside of the receiver to take off the rough area's so the gun would feed correctly. I have an Enterprise FAL (built with Imbel Kit) that works but is rough around the edges. You will not find any positive words about Century FAL's on the FALFiles. WASR's may work but they are ugly with ugly finishes and crooked sights. Only Century gun that is reliable is their WASR's, but that's only because it's hard to screw up an AK. Century rifles are not known to be well put together rifles. His G3 had big time jamming and accuracy issues, about 6 MOA. Centuries have a bad rep on the web, and from my own buddies experience, the bad experience was justified. If it is a Century Build I would stay away. But Enterprise should run about $850, so the price or $750 leads me to believe it's a Century Build.
Enterprise now make L1A1 Receivers so it could be an Enterprise Build. If some dumb prick gives you the finger at '500, most likely you can shoot the smile off his face. It is a "heavy bastard" but will shoot through coconut trees, vehicle doors & windows, and through the average brick wall and door. It may not shoot sub "1 inch" at one hundred, but it will shoot each and every time. As an Aussie soldier showed me in Viet-Nam, the "rat tail" (bolt tail) can be broken on the FAL, but the soldier can still operate the weapon as a bolt rifle. If not check Shotgun News for the "A2" style sights available. If you are an "iron site" shooter, there used to be a guy who manufactured quality rear sights for the FAL. Seconds count in when the chips are down. I own both, and have carried, the Austrialian model. That was corrected in the Brit, Canadian, and Austrialian "inch" model. The "metric" version of the FAL restricts your thumb from moving the selector in a "smooth" manner.
