Well over a decade of quality FAL gunsmithing and innovation has earned Arizona Response Systems an outstanding industry reputation. You will not just be satisfied, but be truly awed with ARS FAL products and services. Federal regulations require 7 US parts from a list of 20 major componants. The 1994 moratorium on "assault weapon" manufacture has expired. FAL rifles may have flash suppressors, bayonet mounts, grenade launchers, and folding stocks, providing the 7 US parts requirement is still met. Please familiarize yourself with these laws before beginning by reading Text of Relevant Laws. See examples of ARS FAL rifle builds at our FAL Photo Gallery.

You can build a fine compliant rifle, by substituting a number of imported parts with the identical part from a US company. To insure customer satisfaction, ARS will only work with IMBEL (Brazil), DGFM-FMAP (Argentine), other licensed FN receivers, DSA , or NODAK Spud (Dan Coonan Industries). ARS will not work on the low quality products from Hesse/Vulcan Arms, Olympic Arms, Willams Arms Company, Entre'prise Arms, Century Arms International or DPMS. Specific custom parts such as stocks and grips are available from vendors on our links page. ARS carries many quality import and US parts for FAL-type rifles.

FAL parts either meet factory specification or they do not. There is generally no "adjusting" or "tuning" of componants other than
minor honing of the hammer, trigger, and sear engagement surfaces. If they are in spec, they work, if they are not in spec, then they are either repaired or replaced.
