Poor man's FAL: Cheap parts?

[DarkKnight]

I've been looking at FALs for a while, and I snagged a cheap kit a while back.
Compliance-wise, it appears to my untrained eye that I need 7 parts to make it compliant.

I've been browsing around looking for deals on US parts, and all I've seen so far is:

Tapco gas piston for $28 shipped

Cheap CAI buttstock $ 17.99
http://www.tapco.com/product_informa...ept=19&last=39

Cheap pistol grip and and foregrip (plus some new springs): $49.99
http://www.tapco.com/product_informa...ept=46&last=95

Short US muzzle attachment: $9.99 for hotlist members
http://www.tapco.com/product_informa...t=145&last=143

I figure the FCG would be another 3 parts, but I haven't tracked down anything cheaper than DSA for that...

Any current deals out there that would beat these prices?
I know I'd still have to track down an elusive receiver, but that's another thread....

If you want cheap US parts the seconds Pengun stocks are real cheap ($30) for all three furnature parts...

I have blems on mine and for a gun that I don't baby it is fine... when I stop my spending ways I canalways upgrade my furnature...

As for the HTS... yea that is tough... as you see I ended up buying DSA as I like a good trigger but it kinda sucks as the original Imbel group felt much better then the US DSA group!

I was looking for a cheap receiver, the DSA ones are being quoted at about 325 each right now.
Any other sources anyone knows of off the top of your head?

try GUNSNSTUFF.COM they used to carry imbel ( brazilian imports) for about 200 and they had a US made cast one from Dan CoonanArms for about the same. only other manufacturers that I know of are Hesse ( not recomended) and entreprise ( also not recomended) there are a number of places that carry the Imbels. DSA is Quality and US made ( a compliance part) and has various "types" ie: type 1 type II or type III ( has to do with the "lightening" cuts and final machine work) for the people concerned about authenticity.

Funny to see this old post up near the top....

For those intereted in FAL kits, Dan's has kits again for $139 Shipped... For those that don't know, these are very nice looking Grade 3s with some comming close to Grade 2.

I have all the FALs and FAL kits I need but if I had a little money to invest I can see these climing in value pretty quickly in the years to come.
