FN FAL gunsmith
Hello all
Can anyone suggest an excellent gunsmith experienced with FALs in the Pretoria/Centurion/Johannesburg area?
I want to confirm the headspace on my new to me FAL, especially as I sometimes shoot .308 ammunition. The rifle fires great and the headspace seems fine, but I just want to baseline it for future reference.

Look for one who has the required parts to adjust the headspace, so it can be done if the measurement says it needs to be done. Bear in mind that a typical FAL intentionally has a slightly more generous headspace than a bolt action.

Ken Gillie at ARMS is also an old school gunsmith, ex SADF armourer I believe.

Re: FN FAL gunsmith
Thanks Guys. I will make a turn by ARMS Waterkloof first as they are close to where I live.
