I bought a parts set over Ebay(yeah, yeah, just hush) a week ago and it arrived yesterday. Nice bore, everything there but the upper, typical old military gun with no finish left(I like that), worth the $150 I'd say.
Anyway, it's got the 3 position selector, of course, and I flipped it a couple times just seeing what all worked. I flipped it all the way forward then thinking Ahhh, wouldn't Full Auto be nice...and it failed to lock back. If I hold the triger she'll just sit there and rock.
Well, OK, I've never built a FAL before, just getting into 'em, and this is a new one on me. Is it suppose to do this as a semi only gun or did I get a lower that made it into the country as just parts and thus kept its Auto parts? If the latter then will it function as a full auto regardless of the upper I get or is there more to it than just the lower and this sear? Better yet, is it worth anything more because of this? Nothings broke I know so...
