FN FAL and L1A1 ARMORY


(updated 07-02-02)

A decade of quality FAL gunsmithing and innovation has earned Arizona Response Systems an outstanding industry reputation. You will not just be satisfied, but be truly impressed with the quality of ARS products and services for the FN FAL rifle and its many variants. There are two major laws affecting FAL assembly: the 1989 import ban and the 1994 "assault rifle [sic] ban." Please familiarize yourself with these laws before begining by reading Text of Relevant Laws.

You can build a fine "post-ban compliant" rifle, by replacing the flash hider with a permanently attached muzzle control device or fake flash supressor and substituting a number of imported parts with the identical part from a US company. To insure customer satisfaction, ARS prefers to work with Imbel (Brazil), DGFM-FMAP (Argentine), other licensed FN receivers, DSA , or the FAC receiver by Coonan. ARS will not work on the low quality products from Hesse Arms, Olympic Arms, aluminum Willams Arms Company Receivers, or DPMS. If you are one of the many people stuck with an Entre'prise receiver and no longer wish to deal with Entre'prise over it, call us with your symptoms and we'll see if its cost effective to repair it, or if replacing might be a better option. StG-58 and L1A1 parts kits are available from a variety of vendors, and US made parts kits are available from First Son Enterprises, DSA , ARS, and a few select other vendors. Specific custom parts such as stocks and grips are availalbe from vendors on our links page. ARS carries quality US parts for inch or metric pattern rifles.
