Over the summer Tim parked a FAL kit for me. He has been demanding proof of life that I did assemble it. Well, here are 2 lousy pics but they prove it exists. If it were nice out I'd take some decent shots but for now these will have to do. He also made the muzzle brake for me. Notice the New York castrated magazine! Punch

I like it! What do I know though.
Very pretty, I always wanted one.

True to form, great pictures :(
So I see a ten round mag. Just like CA. Do you have to modify the release or is it readily detachable?
In CA, some configurations have to have a non-detachable magazine meaning you have to use a tool to detach the mag.
Nice looking rifle. Shot it yet? They are fun.
Man you gotta move out of New York
I *think* the NYS AWB allows 20 round magazines and such, the 'regular' FAL ought to be legal as long as their is no muzzle device.

I took it to the range last week and of course it has a bunch of problems. Short stroking a lot. I think I got that one figured out as I had a nice gas leak where the gas tube screws into the gas block. There's a learning curve here. Unlike an M1 or M14, when these things short stroke they ram the empty back into the chamber. It takes a steel cleaning rod and a couple of taps with a hammer to clear. Great in a combat situation I would imagine. Shot about 2 feet low. Fortunately the FAL's have about 10 different height front sights made for them so I just got a shorter one. I'm going to try it again in a few days. I will say it looks bad to the bone though.
