Federal Arms Corp (FAC) Type III FAL Receiver Review Rough Draft
(updated 02-11-02)
Overall Condition of Receiver is nice. Fine grains from the casting give an even, soft texture
Mag well appears fine
Surface around gas piston hole rough in texture, but regular, Appears to be deeper clearance cuts than on original.
Ejector block fit well
External lightening cuts present for Type I appearance. Internal cuts not present.
Threading has no "interupt" as original
good appearance
cutout for locking shoulder dog leg off set from hole slightsly required sanding of ejector block foot. Also not as deep as an original -= it stuck out a bit like the DSA
Summary: Gun went together fine, proof tested first trip to range. Recommend FAC examine locking shoulder leg hole. Non-critical problem. Overall very nice for a casting. If the sample I have is indicative of the others, I have no problem recomending them.
