No sh*t.
I had a real "wtf" moment. Examined the bore, chamber, ramp, spring assembly, everything. It's grungy as hell, but mechanically and physically it's in perfect shape. Not a scratch on it except for a few on one of the mags. I made a mental note to come back after I had very quickly checked a few more tables (I had just gotten there and the gun show is massive). I knew the price couldn't be beat, but you never know. A 4" full-size .45 ACP with 13-round mags and all original gear for $375? Forget about it.
The very second I returned to buy it a dude walked up behind me with a fistful of cash. He was furious, but that's the breaks. One second too slow. Anyway, yeah it was an awesome deal. 250 rounds of Remington UMC for $75 made the day that much better.

Actually, the FN-FAL (L1A1 is similar enough) is fairly easy to take apart and re-build if necessary.Also .308 ammo is expensive, always has been, and the recoil on G3-ish rifles is unique. Also you cant take them apart and rebuild them easily (they are tack welded together). Same thing goes for L1A1 clones. I think knyte had a FAiL once
Nothing is tack-welded, and granted they are not as easy as an AR-15 clone because you need a serious vice to hold the receiver when wrenching the barrel on, but that's something more people have than the appropriate press to install a barrel on an AK for example.
The G3's, I know nothing about, except that I've heard the same reports as you on all of those clowns 'maufacturing' them.
good deal there but damn prices have jacked. three/four years ago that would have been Bass Pro Shop prices
that's why I posted it
someone on genmay posted they had just bought this and it made me laugh
Cause when you're forced to give up your weapon, they don't check ur ankle newb.
