| I am looking for a source of 'short' FAL fixed stocks. I don't want to convert to a PARA but need an FAL stock with the shorter LOP. I do not want L1A1/English furniture. Anyone know of a source...or a how to ? |

IIRC Israeli light barrel wooden buttstocks tend to be the shortest available. I think Gunthings.com should have them in stock. Sarco might as well. The Heavy Barrel stocks take a different type of buttplate assembly so watch out for that if you end up going down that path. |

I shortened my fixed stock. The stock is longer than the recoil spring tube so I took as much as I could off at the front; redid the inlet and redrilled the screw hole. Then I took the buttpad to a local gunsmith and had him grind it down till it was flush with the recoil tube screw . Altogether I got the fixed stock around an inch shorter with no modifications to the receiver. I have an unmodified stock and buttpad if I want to convert back it to standard length. While you might want it shorter than that, I found that with the stronger .308 recoil impulse you don't want it too short. |
