Is is possible to convert a full stock DSA FAL to a Folder?
If so, how much would one expect to spend?

I believe you end up needing to buy a new para lower (non FFL item). but once you put the para lower on with a folder, you can go back to a full stock on the para lower but not vice versa on the fixed lower

Yes, it is very possible.
You need a new Para Lower, Para bolt carrier, Para recoil spring set, Para top cover, Para rear sight, and of course the Para stock/hinge block.


There are several ways to do it.
You can scrounge surplus Para parts.

You can order it from DSA as a kit.

You can get a Falcon Para kit.

You can also get an Ace stock adapter, and use your existing lower but you still have to get the rest of the Para parts above less the stock/hinge block.

ETA, in addition to the $400 or so it costs DSA recomends checking headspace when changing carriers, so you might want to factor that in also.
