I'll start this build in about a month 7.62 x 51 NATO / .308 WIN caliber


British L1A1 parts kit I purchased back in the mid 90 for $99 ( they're going for $500 - $700+ right now) plus a receiver I purchased.

Here's what they look like assembled


I also have a "sporterized" L1A1 purchased around the same time as the kit which I found out I can legally convert back to original specs by replacing 7 of 17 parts wityh US made parts.



The sporter has a thumbhole stock plus the flash hider cut off ( "angry beavers" according to the FALfiles forum)

I love the flexibility of the L1A1. Takes any FAL mag you can find. My Only gripe was I never found a decent optic mount for them.

This TAPCO mount replaces the top dust cover. I'll let you know later how it works

I had a early version of the screw on top cover mount that wouldn't hold zero. I sol my Last L1A1 and bought the DPMS LR308. Wich I am now tearing about to build a SASS. Will post up when the rest of the parts get here.

I like mine. It shoots very well ( it's a battle rifle not a sniper rifle) and as the the AR15 folks are finding out, it's the better design being a gas piston.

There is a guy on the FAL files who hasn't cleaned his weapon ( other than som eoil ) in over 10 years and has fired over 16,500 rounds thru it ( 7.62 x 51 / .308 win caliber ) It's still going strong and still as accurate as when just built.
