Barrelling an FAL is worlds different than a Lee Enfield or even a Mauser type rifle. A 'standard' Mauser type of receiver block and wrench won't work on a Lee and headspacing requires a pile of barrels and/or a pile of bolt heads. Do yourself a favor if you are in the US and send it to Brian Dick. He will do it right the first time and won't do any dammage to the receiver (body). If you live elsewhere i'm sure someone will chime in and point you in the right direction.

If I were you I might wait for the Criterion barrel to be released. We have been waiting almost 3 years for this project to come to fruition and I think it will in the next 6 months. There have been testers shooting these barrels for the last few months and it seems that there are only a few minor modifications to be made before the first batch is made. Also headspacing should be simpler with the short chamber and it would only need the barrel's shoulder turned down and a proper breeching washer installed to get it clocked up right (see Peters articles).

A short article to whet your appetite.

Good luck. Unfortunately a T type (not the MG) is way out of my price range ;( .
