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.
I have never heard of a fluted chamber. Why would that be done?
