    FAL slam fire?

    Re: FAL slam fire? The two piece was considered an upgrade, although at this hour of the night I can't recall the specifics. I believe it was to prevent a stuck broken firing pin. FALs can have slamfires and out of battery detonations as well. I think you're doing well to investigate this...
