Have also considered trying a 7.62x51 conversion, but I think it would just end up a funny looking L1a1/FAL/FN49 after buckets of work.

I think the rimmed to rimless conversion would be a pile of work.

I know a guy who did an FN49 .308 conversion. I believe he started with a shot out Egyptian model and used a take-off Remington 700 barrel. When he was finished you couldn't tell it was a conversion by the outside appearance. It worked very well, too.
