I am looking for as much information as possible on pistol caliber conversions of the FAL. Archive search over last 5 years gave zero results. Thanks for your help

There's the group buy for new .22LR conversion kits on the FALfiles. Beyond that, the best I can offer is this how-to on FAL .45 ACP conversions.

Search on FAL Files for key words "Rhineland" or "Meeper AND conversion" should give you plenty to start with.

I should have been more clear, I did an archive search over at FAL Files and could not find anything, but admittedly, could not recall Meepers name... thanks!

I've always wanted a 9mm FAL

I'll be doing a QC setup like Meeper has done soon to my FA FAL.

Plan to do 7.62x25 and also 5.45x39 conversions.

The 7.62x25 may have to end up as a blow-back as I am not sure I can get the gas port close enough to cycle the normal bolt and stock recoil springs. Would be totally sweet if gas-operated though.
