The “Syrian” heavy barrel variant

[APEXgunparts]

Is the barrel bent by chance?

I would say it is not bent.
The gent who lists on GB and E-Bay cleaned the barrel a bit and showed me the bore.
Neither of us noted any bends, except for the bent sight ears, the rest of the gas block looks fine, just filthy.
The flash hider is bent and cracked at the front in 2 places.
It looks like the flash hider got REALLY hot while firing!
The bore is quite rough, needs more cleaning, rifling is present.
Do we have more of these kits awaiting listing?
I do not know as their is a pile of FAL kits in the GB area, including Israeli light rifle kits and some ODD AK kits.
Time is split between listing kits and M1 parts.

WOW looks great! Is that for your Syrian? On my barrel stub the inspector mark was S.

Who did the markings on this?

I did the markings.
Out of two heavy barrels and a Saudi, they were all H over arrow.

Any chance you could drop the files? Guessing it was laser engraved? Also what base receiver did you use?

Color me jealous! I want to get my FN forging marked up for the Greek build but not sure where to send it.

These are all very basic engravings, the proofs are traces over some pictures, and the side markings are just standard fonts.
It is on a cast DSA type 1. And man did it take some fitting.

Whoever welded over the DSA crap did a really nice job

Blending the sides of these receivers can be tricky, thankfully I went with a distressed finish, so it did not have to be perfect.
