The FAL 9mm conversion using Sten mags is now available.
This is a kit that will turn the FAL receiver into a 9mm carbine using the readily abundant Sten mags. This kit is designed to be very easy to assemble, just like the Mauser conversions.
You will also need a FAL Para top cover, you can use the stamped type from DSA or the scope mount types from ARMS or DSA. The scope mount types do a much better job of keeping powder from blowing into your face.
The Sten mags do need to have a notch cut into the back of them. A mill makes it easy but a Dremmel with a disk cutter will also work. We are making a easy to use jig for adding the notch to the back of the mags.
Cost for a kit: the Kit includes a barrel, aluminum gas block assembly, Para bolt, Sten mag adapter, DSA Para recoil springs and buffer, $285.
