Nice rifle! I'd love to get one, but .308 is so expensive these days.

Surplus ammo can come around in cycles. Remember a couple years ago when 5.45 x 39mm was hard to find. Now it is coming in fast and cheap. Not really an issue with .308 for my. Handloading is a wonderful thing.

That has to be the sexiest FAL varient I've ever seen!
It's one of only nineteen made, full-auto!

I love the the Springfield box..."American excellence in para-military firearms"!

That's a collector's piece, to shoot it is to devalue it greatly. It's an investment in a box.

Now this one I built for myself a few years back first as a fixed stock Imbel type 3 receiver then after the sunset I swapped the lower to the Para version which was Imbel factory original in the bag. It's as close to a Brazilian folder as a man can get without forking over 5,000 bucks.

That is pretty sweet. I wonder how much it'll go for?

This one didn't last long.

Had it been for sale when I was in the market for one. I would have bought it! Love those mp-40's!!

I love my gorgeous little Jewish American princess even though she does whine about wanting me to take her to Europe from time to time.

Yes, that's the very one and thank you.

I bought it from Impact.

For a full auto FAL, the Izzy HB makes for a tamer shrew.

Now if I can just get a .308 FAL C-mag...
