THAT is gorgeous.

I have poked around the FAL Files. It's a wealth of information but (in my opinion) horribly organized. On several occasions I have delved into that site looking for build information but have always come up empty handed. In fact, my frustration from looking for a build tutorial there last night prompted me to post here. I am just looking for a build overview with photos to help me understand what's involved.

I have a very modern DSA Para but in recent years I've moved away from the railed out variants and really appreciate the older full size battle rifles a lot more.
