Thanks for the link Dimitri...

I might rethink this project now.

30$ gets you the cover, American's love them, due to the amount of surplus ammunition on stripper clips they have been importing.

So correct me if I'm wrong, but if I were to swap real steel parts for KA L1A1 parts to make it a C1A1, I would need a

1. SPF FNC1A1 rear disc rotary sight 200 to 600 yds
2. Wooden Furniture
- SPF Canadian Carry Handle
- FNC1A1 Stock
- FNC1A1 Handguard
3. Stripper Clip Top Cover (which replaces the dust cover)
4. SPF Canadian Breach Block
5. SPF Canadian Breach Block Carrier

Anything I should add or remove, or correct from this list? Specifically, the breach block carrier, I don't suppose real steel would work, no?

Also, butt-stocks are not interchangeable, since the stocks on metric pattern and inch pattern guns attach in different ways.

So does anyone know which type of buttstock attaches onto the KA L1A1? Metric or Inch?

If the KA doesn't have the sand slots milled into the carrier then it's fine.

All of the real steel parts mentioned here, Butt, front end, muzzle, handle, pistol grip and such are, or were, easy enough to source, I still have them all from when I was planning to do this project myself took me little over a month to find them, so, most likely, if I could find them you can too. Not as many around now as there used to be but just look and you'l find them.

Never got far enough into the project to discover fitment.

I don't know if this counts as a necro, but is there any news on this project? I remember one Japanese guy at a Flag Raiders outdoor game a few years ago who had a C1. If only I could remember his name, I'd suggest maybe getting in touch him him.


If it helps to recall, he had a scratchbuilt MG34 there with him as well.

so what is the word nowadays about the FNC1 airsoft rifle? I used to carry the real one in the military years ago, and was usually an FNC2 gunner. I would love to find one, I have alot of gear left from the real weapon.

You and me both. It is unfortunate but King Arms seems to have discontinued production of their L1A1 SLR which is as close as you are going to get without having to modify. To be honest the only thing dif is the butt stock (funny enough the one on their FN FAL is closer to the Can one) and the upper cover with stripper clip. And of course..the wood furniture is dif. there are a few other issues but, in my opinion, not worth the trouble.
