I saw a picture that looked like FNC handguards on a FAL.  Possible and source for them?

It's possible.  There are a few guys on the Fal Files that have done it in the past.

Interesting, I was going to say it sounds like a FN CAL rifle.

Or the Israeli HB handguards..................  Were they a light wood colour?

Yes you can.
I have an FNC handguard set on my Imbel FAL.

Now FNC handguards are slightly shorter so I shimmed the inside of the handguard ring with leather to tighten up the fit.

Not a great pic but they work well.

looks cool!  are they FNC handguard superior to the original FAL ones somehow?  Better egros or heat protection for the support hand?

ergos about the same, ditto with heat dissipation. But they do look cool.



Current best forearm I've found is the Vltor, slim and dumps heat well.
