Fal Spare Parts ?

[missionary5155]

Good morning
I have had a FAL for about 15 years . Fired 3000+ rounds through it, mostly a 180 FNGC RCBS at about 2400 fps. No problems or broken parts.
Are there any spare parts you might recomend I should have ?
Thanks !

"In terms of spare "breakage" parts for an L1A1, it is currently far more cost effective to get a complete spare parts set (everything except the receiver), than to buy parts separately. In the late 1980s--before the brief glut of Commonwealth parts kits--I used to pay $150 just for a set of Maranyl L1A1 stock furniture. Nowadays, if you look enough, for around $300 you can buy a complete spare parts set! (Everything except the receiver.) Needless to say, the full parts set will leave you prepared for any eventual parts breakage, et cetera.
Even if you don't foresee the need for all those spares and just want to keep a few critical items such as a firing pin and stock furniture, you might be able to sell off all or part of the remaining parts from the set at a gun show, to recoup much of your investment."

A complete bolt, a gas regulator, and a set of springs would be good to have. At 3000 rounds it isn't anywhere near broken in yet.

More info on your rifle would help.

Thanks Fellers... Just wondered if there were parts that seem to need replacing. Figured NOW is a better time to think ahead than maybe "Too late".
I have a metric pattern that I think was a Canadian Rifle. I am back in Peru so do not have access to it.

Canadian rifles were Inch with very few exceptions.


When you get back to it, drop me a line and I'll help with ID and parts sourcing.
