Have a franky fal, aka unibrow feedramp, paid 5 1/2 bills for it. Polished the ramp, the rails, the side of the rails, even the chamber to aid in feeding this,
grease seems to help. Will respring her to aid this to. Weapon is fairly accurate. Rifle had and Inch rear sight on it and a Metric front.Replaced rear sight with a Metric one. The front one was ground down a little, Will replace it with a Metric "o" one, the shortest.The rifle seems to be headspaced and indexed ok to. Will see how she shoots tommorro. Also checked to make sure the rifle didn't have a two piece gas valve. Barrel I new I think.

550 is a decent price even for a FrankenFAL.

I have a Unibrow, and it works perfectly. The only time I ever had a problem, the retaining screw on the Crapco charging handle had come just loose enough to allow the handle to override the bolt carrier. I had to kick the damn thing open, it was jammed so tight. I will not consider the weapon totally reliable until that crapco part is gone. It's a compliance part, though.

I remember the orginal price on my C1A1 century, and it was that eight to ten years ago or so, Today thats a great deal.

The local stop and rob gun shop in my area has a Century unibrow built on a gruby Aussie kit for $800, so you did very well IMHO.

Worked on feed ramp may have solved problem... see what ARS says about
Century Unibrows thye don't ven work on them...had bad ammo and broke
the rear peice on firing pin. Will put new recoil springs in and get a "0" metric
front sight.Anybody know if theese rilfes has a muzzle brake like the Cetme
that is threaded this is a new barrel from Century if it is threaded like to get it off.
