    It's like the HK33 kits advertised with a barrel. It comes with a barrel alright but the chambers aren't fluted. They don't tell you that though. I only order new surplus camo through them. That seems to be the only thing that they have fair prices on.

    I quit SG about 10-12 years ago over the same kind of issues. Prior to that I probably did $5000 business with them in 4 or 5 years, and did get a lot of good deals.

    But something changed and I got a string of goods that did not match description, and finally they were refusing to cover my return shipping cost, so I told them off and quit them.

    Still get catalogs.

    sorry to revive an old thread but I have had similar experiences also and that is why I don't use them on gun related item's any longer.
    their prices are not good on many items so it is wise to shop around.
    About the only thing I have gotten in the last 4 years is the 7.62x25 ammo they had and even it wsn't a great deal.
    all I can say is buyer beware.

    Weird stuff you find when you are using Google to search for a source of FN FALO Israeli mags.

    The mags I received ARE NOT new, never issued IMI mags. I have purchased many unissued IMI magazines, these are definitely not. They are not parkerized, they are painted.
    Not here to defend Sportsmans by any stretch of the imagination, i just ran across this line while searching google and wanted to add that all of the early Israeli FAL/FALO mags are all enamel black. Some will have a YN80 marking at the bottom left side of the mag, some will have a YN marking at the bottom left side of the mag, some will not have any markings on the mag, depends on which generation, but all of the ones i have from back when the FALO kits were new on the surplus market 10 years ago are all painted black and i know they were never refinished because they came from new cutup parts kits imported from Israel.

    Are some of them parkerized new at the factory? I don't know? Can't say ive ever seen a parkerized one that wasnt intentionally refinished by someone, they have all been black enamel, but im certainly not a FAL expert


    Sorry to resurect the dead thread Fred............. Carry on
