WHAT AN INSULT! That is an STG58 FAL. One of the best battle rifles
ever made. I don't think much of CETMEs. Now a true G3 is a fine
rifle, but they ruin the brass for reloading (fluted chamber) so I
don't have one.

The problem I had was timing. When the brarrel got tight on the
receiver it was past 12:00. I ended up making a custom shim.

I had asked on FAL files. Apparently they don't have machinists over
there. The suggestion was cut a shim by hand. UGH. Look on through;
you can see how i made it.

My youngest son's SCAR 17S is a fine rifle. I just can't stand the
price, or I'd get one. I've shot two deer with it, both dropped where
they were hit. My middle son just bought a Ruger SR762. Remains to
be seen how it shoots. Meanwhile, I just use the Marlin 1895 in .450
Marlin I got for Christmas one year. Nowhere near the capacity of
those other two, but if I hit something, it seems to stay hit. And
it'll shoot just fine out to 250 yards (if you know the range).

My 1895 is in 45-70. How is the 450 compared to it? Not something seen
very often out here on the Left Coast.
