The trigger pulls on most FALs and L1A1s are usually decent, but if your rifle’s is particularly bad, then trigger work is available from T. You will likely see you group size cut in half. So I recommend that you have a qualified gunsmith shorten your barrel by an inch, and either crown it, or install a proper American-made L1A1 style flash hider, or install a Vortex-style flash hider from “Moses”.
L1A1 muzzles were often butchered by the Neanderthal gunsmith imposters at Century Arms, when they welded their ugly Section 992(r)-compliant intra-ban muzzle brakes on. The accuracy problem with your Franken-L1A1 is likely due to just the last 20 millimeters of barrel rifling, at the muzzle. Then, we will proceed to shower the Peoples of the Earth with good tidings of unregistered receivers, via convenient Internet mail order.

OBTW, if I ever establish my own Libertarian Seastead or island nation out in the Pacific, I will decree that it is illegal to put serial numbers on any “Books” made there.
Century arms l1a1 barrel muzzle serial number#
This is the case simply because one day back in the 1950s, Eugene Stoner decided to stamp the serial number on the convenient broad slab expanse of the trigger group (“lower receiver”) of his new AR-10 design, rather than on the part that everyone else would consider the “receiver.”–the chunk of metal where the barrel is attached. This is often confusing, because with the more ubiquitous AR-family rifles, things are just the opposite: The serialized lower is restricted, but the unserialized upper is unrestricted. (That is the part that is subject to FFL controls, in interstate commerce). JWR Replies: Since the serialized upper receiver on a FAL or L1A1 is legally the receiver, here in the US you can’t just buy one by mail order. Thanks, – Steve E., Loyal 10 Cent Challenge Subscriber Do you know of any reputable companies that sell accurized FAL uppers, and would it be as easy to upgrade for accuracy as to simply add a new upper (like with an AR) and maybe a trigger job? But the accuracy of this ugly FrankenFAL clone is just okay–not great, not terrible. I could do the same, if I could get anywhere near the accuracy from the FAL that I get from my AR. I see that in the past few years you have changed from the M1A to the L1A1 as your primary weapon. I purchased the rifle at a gun show for $400. Not only does it function flawlessly, it also can use both metric and inch pattern magazines reliably. I was lucky when I purchased a Century Arms L1A1 (British Commonwealth inch pattern FN/FAL) Clone a few years back.
