One thing to remember is that most of the rifles and parts in the US are of metric persuasion. Mags for an Inch pattern are a lot harder to come by and more expensive than the metrics. The BHO, mag release, and folding handle all can be had on the Metric gun too----I have a folding ch, a wide thumb safety like a L1A1, and the Imbel wide foot mag release. In fact one of my carriers is even sand cut as well as the receiver. It is the perfect FAL.

Saying that, if you go with a Inch gun, let me know. I have some items left over from when I had mine.
