    Re: FAL Headspace question Gents sorry for the ramble, the special tool is for the buffer spring in the buttstock.

    Gunsmithing FAL Headspace question

    Re: FAL Headspace question On tikkat3's post, for some reason #3 resonates most with me. You'll need the buttstock tool though, or they'll be FAL parts entering a low orbit from your neighborhood! Does it feed ok when releasing bolt from bolt hold open? tikkat3, are there any special...

    Gunsmithing FAL Headspace question

    Re: FAL Headspace question Firstoff, if the case doesn't eject, the pogo is the typical method du jour to eject. Basically hold rifle by the charging handle and bash the butt against the bench or whatever. Muzzle discipline is obviously important. Does the rifle shoot to point of aim...

    Rifle Scopes Optics Binding --> Lapping Rings

    Gents, I've got a scope in a set of good quality scope rings, on a good mount. Had some issues at the range today that would suggest that the scope was bound and/or that the mount was in a tweak. Basically the rifle patterned like a shotgun (this rifle doesn't even do that with irons), and...

    FAL slam fire?

    Re: FAL slam fire? I've had slamfires when round in chamber and releasing bolt from BHO. Never from feeding from mag though (off of BHO or normal cycling), and NEVER with surplus ammo only commercial/hunting stuff. Check that your firing pin isn't broken. If not it's probably the primers.
