Sorry, I grew up (despite the fact that some of my 'so-called' friends deny that I ever did) in "Port d'Arture" (Port Arthur) which is a lot more like Louisiana than Texas. While my French accent certainly won't fool a real Frenchman, I can fake the Cajun stuff well enough…

Re: Orphaned FAL lower
Ouch. I had no idea basic FAL parts & components were so pricey.

Re: Orphaned FAL lower
I can pat myself on the back for buying a quality AR-15 billet lower at half-off...then I realize my forever-will-not-sell rifle is a POF 308. Many parts are proprietary.
But that's why I own AR-15s. Backup.

Re: Orphaned FAL lower
Ditto. Not only are the internal parts for my SCAR mostly proprietary, they're darned expensive too. But AR15s are easy and cheap to maintain.Skiprr wrote:I can pat myself on the back for buying a quality AR-15 billet lower at half-off...then I realize my forever-will-not-sell rifle is a POF 308.
