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....
