I saw the Israeli barrel on the web site but they
didn’t mention the dependency on Israeli pattern
sight. I supose I’d have to get rid of the bipod
to fit the FF HG.
I take it that headspacing these bad boys is straightforward then? I sent out my 03A3 for its
barrel change since these need machining to fit
correctly, according to several sources.
The metric style front sight might fit an Israeli but I have never tried. But I know for certain that the metric gas plug is longer than the Israeli and inch pattern plugs.
The FN-FAL uses an interchangeable locking shoulder for head spacing. Just check the head space and then determine if you need a thicker one (too much head space) or a thinner one (not enough head space) and then pound out the old one and pound in the new one.
