This summer when I had a little extra money I stopped by my local pawn shop,he had a very nice FN FAL with a Imbel receiver built using a British lower, and most other parts as far as I could tell,I've spent all night trying to find identities of all the different pieces,I'm seeing broad arrows and BSA marks,plus crown markings,I couldn't find anything on the barrel itself,but it's not threaded for a muzzle brake and it doesn't have the rings for a bipod. The gun runs great! But it has that ugly black furniture,I want wood! I assume it is a inch pattern rifle,although it used metric mags,a common thing with these guns I've been learning. I buy a lot of projects for winter when it's too cold to play outside in my man cave,I want to sand down the lower and get rid of the tacky black paint,haven't decided if I want to go blue or park,either would be better then that tacky paint! I also want to replace the plastic with wood but I'm having award time figuring which wood set is going to work with the set up,I think the L1A1 parts should fit, as far as I can tell.
So any insight into my questions would be greatly appreciated. Will the wood L1A1 furniture fit the gun? And has anyone tried the L4A3 LMG mags in a Imbel upper that take metric mags? I would love to get a couple of 30 round mags but most of the aftermarkets out there don't have a very good reputation.
Ant other thought about this would be greatly appreciated!
