So where's the current action? As in whos has any to sell? A friend was asking about building one and I haven't been paying attention to the FAL scene lately.
You mean they have actually finally produced one? I didn't think it would ever really happen. They've only been promising them for what, at least two years now.
Anybody considering using an ORF, Keep in mind they do not have an ejector block. Unless you are a accomplished FAL smith (and have a spare ejector block) I would stay away from them. Proper ejector block location/installation is critical to a reliable rifle and from what I understand, requires a special jig to install.
I used an Imbel receiver for my last FAL build, very nice but are scarce and pricey. I still have another kit to build, but I'm waiting until the feeding frenzy is over. All those $149 kits that Akron and Dan's sold last year have put a high demand on receivers.
I would go with a name brand like Dan Coonan or DSA before I would even consider the "the dream of" FAL receiver ORF is going to make ...in the near future, if the sun is aligned with the planets, etc, etc.
I've got several FAL builds on Coonan receivers all went together no problems didn't need to worry about lack of heat treating or missing ejector blocks either!!!
Try falfiles.com. court in fl I beleive is his name has almost always got them. DSA type 1 or 2 435.00 shipped. That seems to be the going price. Every now and then you will see a imbel for sale but they are much harder to come by.

I'm not really into some of the challenges involved with what I've read about on century recievers. Although I have the knowledge I don't have some of the advanced machine tools to enjoy any kind of alterations to get something to work. Thanks for the link WhiteDevil, although it looks like they haven't updated it lately, I'll shoot them an email and see what's up.
If you think Century's would be a challenge, wait till you get your hands on a ORF (If they should ever materialize ). Maybe the toothfairy will bring us some.................................:lol::lol:
DCI has no fal receivers in production I checked in to this a while ago and the add is about a year old. DSA,Entreprise Arms,Century are the only ones I have been able to find .check out entreprise.com
Maybe they just had a short run of them. It's probably been @ 12 months since I got mine, but I was on a waiting list for many months before that. I don't understand why they don't make more of them. There's always a market for a quality FAL receiver.
I was on the DCI list for over a year and never heard anything from them. I contacted Harlan a couple of months ago, He said He has not seen any in quite a while. It did not sound very encouraging.
I've built 2 Fals on Enterprise 1 receivers. They worked well for me. One will shot 1 inch groupe and under. The other about 2 inch. Both were easy builds
I have been on the DCI list for a couple years and have heard nothing. I ended up buying a complete Century gun and "rebuilding" it. It was a turd when I got it and I paid accordingly. Runs great now.:nanabang:
You could check with RGuns for a DSA receiver bought a type one couple months ago and had it in hand 3 days later.
