Tapco keeps sending me catalogs full of parts for the FAL. I guess that Imbel is the hot receiver for this gun.

I know it's .308 Win. caliber, and semi auto. Mag fed.

But what else? What are they running cost wise these days? What are the "clones" and variations?

Thanks.

go to fnfal.com and all your questions will be answered. very knowlegeble people over there. btw, go with an imbel reveiver.

Embel receivers are going for about $238.00 these days.

Of course, I could be biased... but as an owner of a FM FAL (built right here by Fabricaciones Militares) I can attest it's great quality and exceptional accuracy.

It's not that difficult to get 1.0" to 1.5" groups with custom handloads, and I'm not talking about my personal experience, I see this at the range very often. Moreover these are fired at 150meters (164yds)

I'm a new FAL owner, I love the rifle. Accurate reliable and hard hitting. I thought about getting an AR-15, I'm glad I didn't.

You can get a Imbel reciver from FAC for $199, buy 2 parts kit's from Tapco, at $89 each. That way, you have a complete set of spare parts! try to touch that with an AR-15, you would pay $125 just for a bolt.
