Hello Everyone,
I am contemplating the purchase of an FAL and had a quick question on disassembly.
Most of my rifle experience is based on the AR-15 and one of its great features is that you can swap out the top half and configure your rifle into a myriad of combinations (e.g., barrel length, optics, forend, etc.).
Looking at the DSA catalog I notice that they sell "forends" that consist of the barrel, forend, front sight, etc. Now obviously these are listed separately for those who build FALs from kits, those who own an FAL and want to reconfigure their rifle without buying another one, or both.
Is it possible to swap the "forend" (per DSA catalog) or the top half of an FAL with the ease of the AR-15 system of weapons?
It is my hope that one could have two or three top halves configured for your FAL that could be swapped easily and quickly.
Thank you for the input.
