A local gun store has a Fal for sale for $1100. It is marked on the right with the Embel logo and the following letters,   C A 1  .  There are no other markings other than maybe 7.62 cal. Any dea who made this and what it might be worth. It has the standard hand guards and hump back stock and probably an 18" barrel. I could go back and get more info when they are not so close to closing time but wonder if any one here has any idea what it probably is. I'm totaly new to Fals to the point of being clueless on most everything but this rifle felt great and I'm considering purchasing one.

Century Arms is the maker. Imbels are good receivers, as far as price 1100 seems a little high but I am also no expert.

FYI I picked up my CA FAL a few months back with 4 mags, springs and some other goodies for 700$

If it just the rifle and 1 magazine , then $1100 is a little steep. A quick look in GB and cai fals were 700-850.

I would agree with the previous guys.  I bought an imbel Century built a while back for around $700.  It is a good, reliable shooter.   For $1100 you could get a good DSA.

I bought an Imbel century gun for $800 with 20 mags and a lot of spare parts.

I bought one about six months ago for 680 out the door.  I dont know if all Imbel guns have the widows peek in them, that is what you really want with a Century built gun from what I've read. I got lucky mine does.

If you go to gunbroker.com and find one with the thumhole stock look at going that route and change it out, its really not that hard and you can find good deals on a great rifle.

1100 way to high even new CIA guns dont go that high. I dont think I would go more then 700-750 oin it. I also think if I was going to drop that kind of cash on a FAL or L1A1 I would go to DSA.

Thank you all, I may have fallen for this since thier prices for other guns and ammo are in line with everyone elses. I'll check out DSA.
