Not really - any sale by a non-FAL holder to a FAL holder gets an illegally held gun off the streets.

I can see sighting the seller's FAL (and recording the name/number) being a requirement once the register comes in, so that the transfer can be recorded

Yes, that was pointed out to me by Scott Stonex, Reloader's Supplies, who is a part owner and good friend. Even so, I wouldn't personally want to buy a firearm that may have been used in a serious crime, even though it's not the firearm that committed the offence. Each to their own.
