I have always wanted a Para FAL with the iconic Folding Stock mechanism, but have never encountered one for sale. Perusing the DSA FAL website recently it came to my attention that they sell Do It Yourself metric FAL Para Conversion Kits. I ordered up a kit through A Z T E C H Armoury and it was delivered less than a month later. I inspected the package of parts for any missing items and was pleased to find that everything necessary was included along with a few spare screws and the like.
The base rifle is a Fabrique Nationale / Browning Fusil Automatique Leger (FAL) ".308 Match" model in Excellent to "as new" condition. After removing and completely stripping out the Lower Receiver it was a relatively simple matter to transfer those parts over to the stripped Aluminum Lower Receiver for the Para FAL. From there it was an easy install of the Picatinny Scope Mount Rail on the Upper Receiver, followed by final assembly of the field-stripped rifle. Easy-Peasey, all things considered.....
