Dammit!

Jasmine has been recalled!

DS Arms has discovered a problem with the hardness of the aluminum that goes into the lower receiver.

That's kind of a big deal with an FAL, so it's going back to the factory to see if I have a bad one and if so; a new one will be swapped in and she will be returned.

I just don't want to be without her for the two weeks or so it will take.

    True, but yours has that "angry beaver" cachet!

    What work are you having done? Getting the lower fixed so you can put a normal stock and grip on?

    Lower fixed and standard stock affixed, trigger job and it was short-stroking like a champ...Haven't gotten the full story but I think the piston tube wasn't properly staked.

    Oh well, live and learn. But yeah my FAL is an angry-beaver special. Thankfully it appears my competent gunsmith is doing a top-rate job un-fucking it.
