Sac Latta

I thought the import Sac Latta Receivers were all stamped in the mag well? Pipe dream on price, but that kit looks sweet!

Actually, the BIN price of $3500 is a good deal on todays market. StG58 kit $800, FMAP receiver $700 and C1 scope $1800. Mags $120.

I think that kit could fetch 1000 up. You are twisting my arm.

Yep. A “Variant of the FN FAL” as he indicates.

In the absence of facts or education, so many folks just make shit up.

That's an interesting import marking, but I don't believe that is the same as SAC Latta.
The marking in pic is "IA-CO. SAC CA". This is reportedly the import mark of Inter-American Import Company, Sacramento, CA (according to info on US Carbine imports & exports found here.) Didn't know they imported any FAL receivers.

Makes sense. I always thought it was the same SAC. Those are actually all original bgs “c’s”

Actually got to shoot one of them.

I believe also it is a pre-1989 import, which matters in some places.

I think the receiver is an earlier import as all the SAC Latta, SC receivers I have seen had the serial number on the left side of the receiver. DSA sold some receivers similar to that one on GB just prior to manufacturing their own receivers or they had them made in the US. The DSA imported FMAP receivers were stamped in a couple different places on those receivers.

This is a DSA FMAP receiver they cut to a Type 1 which sold for $250. The serial number was relocated upward to make the cut.
