Cool Izzy is next...

Have finished my first FAL. L1A1 turned out nice. Now ready to tackle an Izzy HB. other than the barrel threads have to be chased, are there any other surprises that I should know about before starting the beast? TIA for all your helpful knowledge...

Some assembly required:
- HB HG and spacers
- FALO backsight is taller than other Metric foresights. SHOULD use Israeli foresight/gas block ass'y
- Mag catch is different, but interchangeable
- proper buttstock is desirable. See GunThings
- IIRC, sling swivel ferrules are different

Oiy vay!

Hope you dont mind adding to your post but will the std metric spring in the buttstock work with the Israeli lb stock?

Thanks
