I'm in the process of getting a DSA Type 1 Receiver for a fixed magazine stock build in California. Once I get my receiver in and registered, I plan on buying everything else to build a Para Congo model, just with a fixed 10 round magazine. This will be my first FAL and need to find a good gunsmith to put everything together. Can anyone refer me to some of the better gunsmiths out there? Also, I read a few articles on the difference between the Type 1 and Type 2 receivers. Is there really any reason to pick one over the other? I know the Type 1 is lighter, but is the receiver more prone to breakage? Any help would be greatly appreciated. |
I highly recommend Rich at CGW He's built an Imbel for me and will be building two more STGs soon. Ypur biggest obstacel will be getting the para Fal stock and lower. DSA has a long waiting list. If you are not a traditionalist, Rich sells Vlopsi lowers. As to the types, that is a matter of personal preference, neither is really stronger or weaker in semi-auto mode. I like type II myself. |

There's no requirement for a muzzle device to be "permanent", except for NFA barrel length. |
In California we have a 30" minimum length requirement on rifles (with stock folded). If the brake is permanently attached then it counts in the length, if it isn't it doesn't. |
