    FAL Gunsmith in San Antonio, Texas?

    My son just bought two Century Arms FALs. They both need some work. Does anyone know of any gunsmiths in San Antonio, Texas (or nearby) that are experienced in working on FALs?

    Thanks.

Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.

    FAL Gunsmithing

    I need someone to check these rifles out for safety and function, as well as replacing the thumbhole stock on one of them and putting flash suppressors on both of them. Apparently, these are inch pattern rifles, except for the magazine well.

    As a side question, does anyone know where I can get inch-pattern stocks, pistol grips and all of the hardware that goes with them (metric parts will not fit -we tried)?

    Thanks.

    Try Dury's gunshop.

    I don't know if they have a FAL guy, but they might.
