  1. It looks like it was re-welded to me from the pictures. Look at the end of "warnin" and then look up to the top of the receiver....looks welded to me. Hence the warning on the receiver.
  2. This is mine. Rolex datejust Tuxedo watch. Cool feature, odd number day in red, even number days in black. Not a submariner, but I have really enjoyed it.
  3. That is a handsome watch my friend. Rolex watches and machine guns make for a nice pairing.
  4. You are pretty spot on for the prices for both M1A and FAL. It was a difficult decision for me as I like both rifles but wanted the weapon that was the most controllable on full auto and not as many registered select fire FAL's on the market. Also DS arms makes 12 inch barrel assembly that includes the gas system block for the FAL. I think it would be fun to go with a 12 inch system for a while and then switch back to full length barrel. Of course with a registered receiver, removing and installing a different barrel or assembly would require a gunsmith for me but can be done. This is the look and style I am going after for my FAL
  5. I think you did a good job and have great skills. However, your finish appears a bit flat to me unless that is just the lighting and does not have that german bluing hue you find on a MP40. I have talked with John Andrewski (JA) regarding bluing on a German MP40 and he gets close to the look of an original MP40. I love how mine turned out after John did the refinished it. If it was me, would talk with JA and have him do the refinish so you get close to the original look as possible. However it is your MP40 and if you like it, then please ignore my above comment.
  6. I have been told they are rare but a few come up for sale. Not sure of the exact number from SA regarding select fire, but has to be a very low count.
  7. Great Question! My FAL is a Springfield Armory SAR-48 which were imported from IMBEL...Brazil. Not a 100 percent sure, but believe Springfield Armory converted some as select fire vs importing them with that configuration. What is cool about IMBEL, they were licensed to manufacture the FAL from FN. Very similar to what Egypt did with the Swedish K. I don't see very many FAL's on the market but they do come up. I see a lot more Springfield Armory (select fire M1A) M14's on the market. I think original Belgium FAL's are very rare in the US. I do come across IMBEL quite a bit and then mix masters from parts kits that were put together and registered.
  8. I second JA, you will not be disappointed. He addressed issues causing malfunctions on my Erb tube gun and did a great job with the refinish. Runs like a top now.
  9. On semi, the m14 is more accurate than the FAL. I own a socom m1a and really like that rifle. The FAL will be a nice addition to my collection.
  10. I like the look and feel of the FAL over the HK G3. The M14 is a classic too, and really like the lines of the rifle but that FAL is just "sexy".
  11. I went the FAL route, as should have the U.S. Military!! I do like the history of both and amused Belgium refused to allow Germany to build there own FAL under license since it was still the early 50's and only a few years removed from the war. I would have said "NUTS" to them too. Can you tell I was with the 101st Airborne Division (Air Mobile).
