will you post some info ware I can find them and compare
thanks
I wish I could. I guess I'm going to have to buy a G2 and put some pictures and comparisons on my brother's web page. The reason I can't is that Harold Shinn, owner of FSE, doesn't have a web page. I buy mine from
RPB. I'm pretty sure that if you call RPB ans ask for Russell, he will let you order a set, and if you are not completely satisfied, he will take them back. That's just the kind of guy Russell is.
I found out about FSE back during the period when I was building a FAL a week. The DSA FCG was $100. The FSE was $50. I could not tell any difference in quality. Several of the top FAL 'smiths were recommending them. And the one time when there was a heat treatment problem with one run of hammers, FSE took the hammers back and replaced them, no questions asked, even if the hammer was still intact and you only suspected it was from the bad batch. In fact, Mr. Shinn was proactive in posting to all the known gun boards at that time, making sure the word got out. I just can't see a producer who values his reputation like Mr. Shinn does having high quality in one part of his product line and having crap in another part of his product line. Especially when dealing with firearms aficianados, who are known to be a particularly discriminating, demanding, and vicious consumer group.
The only G2 group I have is an older model which doesn't have the axle sleeve. It works just fine and I am very pleased with it. If I could get G2s cheaper than I could get FSEs, I'd switch over. I am suspicious of the changes made to the disconnector to accomodate the sleeve, though.
