| I went into a local gunshop here in Aurora, CO yesterday and saw what I thought was a preban FAL. I asked the guy behind the counter to let me see it when I looked at it,it had Hesse on the receiver and a standard FAL flash suppressor on it. I told the guy that even though I don't believe in that stupid law that rifle might be illegal, he wanted $999 for it. He said that the owner checks out all guns and that it was legal. He said Hesse is from Europe and they made pre-ban rifles. I said ok and left,I wouldn't pay that much for a Hesse FAL even if it was legal but some poor sap is getting setup for failure. |

Some things you might want to know: - ALL Hesse guns are complete crap, and many are unsafe to fire. - Hesse receivers are the "default" receivers used for most of the Century kit guns (FAL, L1A1, R1A1, HK91/G3, CETME, etc.). That's why Century has such a bad reputation. - Hesse is an American company. - Be sure that you didn't see an STG-58 look-alike muzzle brake, as manufactured by Tapco and used by DSA.  Legal, post-ban muzzle brakes.  Flash suppressors (compare #3 to pics above) -Troy |
