What are the markings on the receiver? Is it a kit build? Are they all Isralie parts? Sarco had kits for 800-1200 for just the kits.

Probably well worth it, If its a DSA receiver you better get it.

If that is a real IZZY FAL, it is worth every bit of that!

Nice looking weapon. Might be worth that even with a Century receiver. Nothing is cheap these days. Nice walnut buttstock.

I read that Century arms made Izzy fal and I read somewhere else that early century fal had feeding problems because of unibrow feeding ramp. Did they make izzy fal with unibrow feeding ramp?

I've got about $750 invested in building my Izzy FALO that I pretty much pieced together from parts acquired from trader boards, Sarco, Tapco, Gunthings, and GPG. My Izzy light barrel was a bit more expensive, but still cheaper than what one could be had for these days.

Not a bad Idea at that price. Since its Springfield then the receiver should be made by Imbel. In the current market with Imbel receivers at $550+ and decent shape Izzy HB parts kits at $750+ you didn't do too bad.
