Picking up my first FAL. It's a shooter, collector one will come later(wooden stock set on a L1A1/SLR). It is a 18" bush rifle, built on a early DSA type 2 upper, with a DSA aluminum lower. I had some questions for ya'all. i do know about FALfiles. Been waiting quite a while to be added.
1) Can anyone ID the maker of the barrel in the photos?
2) Is it possible or has anyone ever mounted a para receiver type rear sling swivel on a fixed stock FAL?
3) Opinions on scope rail;DSA or ARMS? I like the looks of the ARMS, but the DSA would match the finish.
4) Anyone running a Vortex 1x4 Viper or 1x6 Strike Eagle on their FAL? Thoughts if you are. Thanks gents.

Nice 16".

I bought a sling plate called a "Sling Thing" from the old FAL Guy website that goes between the stock and receiver. I think he got busted by BATFE though and dissappeared. Not sure where you would find one now...

I've seen the Noveske flush mount QD swivel cup installed on the left side of the buttstock just behind the receiver.  I intend to install one on my new build, but I'm not sure that I want to put it in that spot.  I need to figure out what the best set-up for a tactical sling is, first.  Also under consideration is having it towards the rear, on the left side, or towards the rear on the right side.

Im not a fan of where the sling mount is located on a Para when using fixed sights.
T is most likely imbel not sure about the ne. I've had 3 different dsa scope rails with 3 different finishes.  
Was that the one for sale in the equipment exhange?
