Pimp My Fal

[kajuntriton]

Well guys I have sent one of my FAL's off to OLE ROCKMUP at TCUSTOMS check out his site at www.TCustomsLLC.com for a face lift. He has been in contact with his progress and it seems he is in new territory discovering the interworking of a FAL. I hope he is having fun with it.
I am hoping he will add to this post with some progression photo's and updates. It will be another month or so before it is complete but I am sure this will be one slick rifle when completed! Stay tuned for updates!

These photo's are of the rifle as he received it LESS the GRENADE LAUNCHER SIGHTS, I removed them and installed a standard gas plug.

Are you going to go with the pink Hello Kitty look or what?

 

[kajuntriton]

DAMN YOU busted me already! You must have contacts with Rockmup?

 

[Tier1Mike]

Now thats a bad-ass rifle !!!

 

[lytur9]

Bad-Ass is right!!!!!!

 

[kajuntriton]

Thanks guys but it DOESN'T look like that anymore!! I think ROCKMUP has it in MANY pieces right now! I don't have a clue what it looks like right now!

And now I have my other one starting a new face lift as well!

Starting photo is this!

More to come on this one as well! As parts arrive it will make a small tranisition.

 

[rockmup]

it would be faster if you just told me what parts did nOT belong to your FAL. lol

A customers M64 too

 

[kajuntriton]

Now ya see, I told ya the FAL's aren't so bad, its only a few parts!
The cute lil rat tails are a nice touch too!

When you finish experimenting on KT's I might have a parts kit to assemble . Got a parts kit just need to get the US parts and receiver to finish it up

 

[kajuntriton]

kd5hlx, I think Nomad, 2nd here may have a few receivers left. If not I know where there are a couple DSA type 1's with carry handle cuts, and 2 or 3 type 2's w/chc.

Also do a search for griffon5 on gunbroker, Falcon parts for all your 922R componets. Great people and great prices.

 

[kd5hlx]

Yea, I am waiting to get in and get approval from THE BOSS .

Yep, got a couple left since all you dushes bailed...

As far as pimping.... Real flash hider, chop it to 16, and Para kit.

 

[kajuntriton]

Dushes??? Well not sure what that is BUT this douche, did not buy a receiver that you have because it wasn't a type 2, that is the main reason, second reason I found quite a few cheaper. BUT I have done just like I told you I would, and that was to let people know you had some, your business to work out details and price.

Real Flash Hider? Care to expound on that? And why would someone take a perfect 20 inch barrel and slash it? I am sure you are aware of the required parts change out required to convert a 50.00 to a 50.63?
Much more practical to get a para kit and build another rifle.
Now if you have a complete PARA or even a PARA kit for sale, give me some details!

 

[kajuntriton]

Well ROCKMUP, any new pics yet?

 

[rockmup]

Picture if you will the pic above only everything is black ! These things aren't too exciting until they're done.

 

[kajuntriton]

Just received some new wood for the FAL II project. Waiting for a few more pieces parts and will be ready to start the transformation.

French Walnut US HAND CARVED w/ selector cut Pistol Grip
Below is MY new wood but not my steel!

 

[kajuntriton]

Rockmup, have you rub,kicked,molested the rifle lately?

 

[rockmup]

I'm not telling you !

but I sure do like that wood. Whoever did it, did a very nice job

He does a SUPER job, this was actually a "seconds" there is a screw up on the butt stock, but if I didn't show it to you, you probably wouldn't find it. BUT he knocked off $200 for it! Still cost me a small fortune!


You will see it soon!

 

[rockmup]

I'd love to make a nice set foe one of my AK's.


Seriously though, I stripped your gun down and re coated it. Seems to be a recurring theme here lately.
I don't know what was up with your hand guards and stock but they did not like having coating applied to them. Well, I won. lol
