Engraving your body to L2A1 spec shouldn't be a problem either
Inch-pattern heavy barrels are probably right behind Longbranch barrels for rarity now, here in the States...many of the guys I know of with L2s or C2s either had them with their parts kits (only L2s there, far as I know), or they were turned down from barrel blanks or metric FALO barrels.

My FN/SLR builder told me that he and the late Pat Jones had been working on a plan to make new "unobtainium" parts (like barrels and bipod barrel blocks) for L2s and C2s. Pat had original parts to either copy or modify, while my builder had the machine shop skills at hand. Sadly, Pat's untimely demise put an end to that, at least for now.
