I have an FN-FAL rifle. It was made in Brazil. Do you have an opinion on the Brazil FN-FALs?

If the receiver is an Imbel it is a fine rifle; I'm not sure if Imbel is a Brazilian govt armory, but they make very nice stuff. If it is all original, and not a "kit gun", and "pre-ban", it could be quite valuable.

DSA now makes its own receivers, here in the USA, perhaps to preclude bizarre BATFaggot regs.

I have a DSA "kit gun" or "parts gun" as they are called. Most of the parts are of Austrian STG-58 origin, but the receiver is Imbel. The kit guns many times have a different receiver than the rest of the parts because the original receiver had full auto capabilitites and the BATF makes the importer torch or cut the receiver apart for importation.

Your FAL is probably a very good one.
