    Agree, a plainer polymer foreend like an mp5, but maybe with two horizontal flutes to mimic the FAL.

    On a side note, my FAL/L1A1 boner has returned for the umpteenth time, so if anyone would like to shift one nows the time to berate me or @Glycerine into potentially buying yours.

    Yes picked up one like Grunzter's but with the later metal foreend. Has 4 mags which is a bonus. Should arrive any day...just hoping the barrel is good.

    +1 on that, Tony's extremely knowledgable and helpful and his work is very good. The only slight criticism that I have is that the Rhodesian pattern is not what I'd call accurate.

    Whats an "Unfired" L1A1 work?

    Its one that was sold from the Air Force during the 1980's,I have stripped it and its as far as I could tell unused.

    Phosphated metalwork and wood furniture.

    These guys used to do L1A1 Barrels but not for a while. If you want to trick it up you can apparently put a FAL front end on (complete), Tony from Red-dot will be able to tell you. Also the folding stock models have different internals to the standard rifle which has a recoil spring in the stock. That means more new parts? It may become worth it just to get a paratrooper model from DSA.
