  • Federal arms FA 91, I need advice/parts

    From pyotr filipivich@21:1/5 to All on Wed Feb 19 12:20:11 2020
    Greetings and Salutations

    It has been almost 10 years, but I have one of my FAL rifles back.
    (It turns out, the other one had been a "hot" rifle.) My thanks to the
    ATF & FBI. Rah!.

    Okay, I finally get the time to tear them done, and I am now
    wondering "was I always missing those pins? or did they get lost
    somewhere along the line?"
    The pins in specific are the "Stock locking pins" #56 <https://www.gunpartscorp.com/gun-manufacturer/federal-arms/fa-91?page=3>
    They hold the stock onto the receiver, and I gather are rather
    important. (The reason I wonder if the pins were missing is that I
    had some problems with one of the FALs, and I _think_ it might have
    been this one.)

    The above URL is "out of stock", or I'd be ordering there..Anyway,
    what I need is a source or alternatives. (I know, "I was a machinist
    once, I can make my own", but ...)

    What's the back story here? Sounds interesting...

    About ten years ago, I got burgled.
    Four years ago, I get a letter from the FBI, my rifles had been recovered, and after being used as evidence, it was now possible to
    return them to their rightful owner "if I could identify...".
    You would not believe the amount of paperwork gets generated from "simple" police reports. I had two, one as a witness, one as the
    householder, so I ordered the DVD.
    Hurry up and wait.

    In the meantime, I've moved, installed a gun safe. And made sure
    I have records of all such items. Serial numbers are a good thing.

    you can use the two holes in the stock to store the pins when disassembling. I didn't know this for a long time.
