I would be very interested in building one if I had someone experienced who could help me out. That's an awesome offer. Where do you recommend buying the components? Do you suggest DSA or another manufacturer?

You could get a kit from someone on the FAL Files, and the upper receiver too. I'd suggest getting a metric kit and receiver. For your first FAL though you might be better off just getting a used one. You should be able to get a very good used FAL for under $900. After you've shot it and figured out what you like and don't like, then you could build your own specific to your taste.
That's another idea, but I've heard from others that it might be best to buy new for your first FAL. Since I wouldn't know what to pay attention to for potential problem finding when buying used.
FWIW I've never bought one new. The main thing you want to look for is the condition of the bore. If that's good, it's doubtful there are any problems that can't be fixed easily.
If you want to buy one new, more power to you. But I have owned a decent number of FALs, and this is just the approach I think is best. Either way good luck, and prepare your safe for more of them because they're addictive.![]()
I just picked up my new DSA STG58 last week. I paid $945 + shipping + tax.
It's a nice gun and the workmanship is first rate.
Dave oredered it for me on 02/11/09. I got it early September. Almost 7 months.
