The method used in the semi-auto Uzi variants uses two springs. and an "axial" / linear striker.
Food for thought?

L1 A1 muzzle thread is 9/16 x 24, RH.
FN also made a whole bunch of "export" models of the "Metric" FAL some of which actually looked like the L1A1. The one I had in the early 1980s had a...
