Looking for a FAL smith that can replace a barrel.

Man, Im already behind the curve on getting back to him on another barrel swap, LOL

I havent ever done a FAL before, and I havent messed with the various locking shoulders before.

If there is no one else better, I might try, but Im defiantly out of my experience with this one.

LOL So am I. I'm not sure I am up to doing this. Would be great if I can find someone local and at least watch in case I get the urge to put another together.

There is a guy in Georgia, name is panzersomething. He is good friends with @stimpsonjcat. He is a master builder of all things FAL. Not birmingham, but worth a day trip!

Thanks for the info.

I'm waiting on a receiver to start this trip. If I don't think I can handle it, I'll give him a shout.

I am summoned!

Barrel-swaps are usually pretty straightforward.
Unless the bbl needs thread or shoulder work.
Or the headspace changes to something that needs a locking shoulder size I don't have.

I am in Dawsonville, for distance/time estimating purposes.

@Notso, can you message me. I’m down in Tuscaloosa and I have a question about a service.
