It is a FN-FAL that was assembled for me by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cmparmory.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CMP Armory<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>CMP Armory is a small gunsmithing company located in Dallas, NC. They came highly recommended and they did a fantastic job for me. Both Moses (aka Johnny) and James were easy to work with.<\/p>\n<p>I had purchased an Imbel parts kit from a private ad on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.falfiles.com\/index.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FALFiles Message Board<\/a>. The guy selling it decided that after getting the parts kits and most of the compliance parts that his interests lay elsewhere. I then obtained a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dsarms.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DSA Inc. <\/a>Type II upper receiver which is American made.<\/p>\n<p>CMP assembled the rifle, refinished it in matte black KG Gunkote, did a trigger and accurizing job, and then added their own Hurricane flash hider to it. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.survivalblog.com\/2008\/12\/letter_re_flash_hiders_for_bol.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jim Rawles on the SurvivalBlog has spoken very highly of this flash-hider.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I would have posted pictures of the fine job that they did but the Complementary Spouse is out in St. Louis with her mother (aka the Complementary Mother-in-Law) and she took my digital camera with her. A cell phone picture wouldn&#8217;t do this rifle the justice it deserves.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I now have my first battle rifle.
