    What do you mean by "rebuild kit"?

    I think he means "parts kit". All the parts minus the lower receiver. I think they were A1 parts. Nunn is right, Sportmans Guide had them, but they may all be gone by now.

    They were all the M16 parts less the lower receiver along with a new manufactured barrel.
    Depending who was selling them they were going for $499-$599.

    Like most such items, they had a limited run and have now pretty much dried up. FAL parts kits to be everywhere and now you seldom see them at all and when you do they are pretty beat up and pricey rather than the pristine parts (often taken from brand new guns that were torn down) that we once saw at give away prices.

    Kinda like early original AR10 parts kits as well.
