    Evening,

    This may be a little off topic. Did not want to post it on the shooting board,
    thought the Militaria board may be better suited since some of ye guys
    collect de-acts. Dont want to ask about real firearm parts over
    on the airsoft board as its frowned upon.

    I'm looking for a website that I can buy online and get posted preferably
    from the UK a FAL Handguard. I am looking for a Black Synthetic
    3 slotted one that is aprox 23 cm long.

    I basically want to put a handguard on an airsoft toy that I bought
    to make it look a little bit more authentic. If possible I want to emulate
    the Imbel FAL. The one I have I know the barrel is a little short and the
    foresight gurards are not correct.

    At some stage I would love a De-act FAL that I would be able to field
    strip to bring back old memories. Have not got a clue what price these
    would be though.

    They're pretty pricey, see below for a couple of examples, one over £800 and another over £300.....some price difference between the models :confused:

    Cant help you with the handguard I'm afraid, but just the other day I seen an online militaria dealer offering an original wood kit for the L1A1, anyway, dont know if its of any use to you:

    Hi bullets,

    also check out www.egun.de. Try "Handschutz" as a keyword. There may be something there. From time to time they also have FAL deacts there but you need to convince your local Super why you want it.

    Would imagine you wouldn't have much hassle getting one.
    If the state trusted you with a live one...........

    Sign up for eGun now, I saw something I wanted 2 weeks ago and then couldn't get the feckin registration to work and lost out.

    Can't figure out for the life of me why the registration won't work, no warning messages, it just resets the form.

    The auction was well over but I'm keeping an eye out for the next one.

    You could try to register using another computer. Once registered you shouldn't have a problem. Maybe there is something wrong when using the translated site.
