Can you look this century FAL R1A1 over for me?

Why not just pull the trigger on a good M1A? You can probably find one reasonable and with some sort of proof that it shoots. Parts are available at Brownell's.

Just picked up one of the Norincos from auction for about $700 shipped the other day.
They’re not super common in the US but pretty reasonable when you run across them.
It’s a good looking rifle I’ll probably be keeping!
