Sorry to post such a seemingly dumb question, but I did use the search to no avail.
As I understand it, to put a folder on my FAL I'd need a para bolt carrier and recoil springs, a different reciever cover, the folding stock, and possibly a rear sight.
Some info I have turned up is that the para reciever cover has "ears" that need ground off or that mods would have to be made to my lower.
If at all possible, I'd like to do a parts swap and just leave it at that since I don't want to ship my rifle off and go through all that trouble.
So I guess my questions are:
Can this be done by just swapping parts? Any problems with that?
How much will it cost?
Where do I look for parts? (Already checked DSA but I don't really even know what I'm looking for.)
When we talk about modifying my reciever, what exactly does that mean and is in necessary?
