Yeah, I spent like 2 hours last night trying to do searches on the C1A1 rifle, and I couldn't find shit on Wikipedia or WorldGuns. Only place I found relevant information was imbdf. I even discussed my searches with Ken about the limited info that I found. Look, maybe you fed better terms than me on Google, or found better places to look. Who knows, but please, keep the attitude to a minimum.
Edit: To be precise, I did find shit, the shit I posted on my first post. But aside from that, nothing else I could follow up on, hence this thread.

Have a good day.

2. Another interesting and important variation on the Canadian C1 not mentioned above is a modification to the dust cover allowing the magazine to be fed from stripper-clips well still fitted to the rifle. To do this a section of the dustcover from the breach face to the back of the magazine well was removed from the original FAL design and a stripper-clip/charger guide added at the rear of the opening.
In order to charge the magazine from stripper clips other variations of the FAL design required that the magazine be removed from the rifle and a special adapter fitted to the top. Photo #34 of the montage shows an exhalant photo of the Canadian C1 type dust cover.

The Canadian rifle also has a shorter receiver cover than other Commonwealth variants to allow for refilling the magazine by charging it with stripper clips.

Seems like I also have to modify the dust cover in addition to getting a rear sight. Not sure if the Canadian rear sight would fit without any modifications.
There's also the arctic trigger guard, a trigger guard that folds into a slot inside the pistol grip for use with gloves. Yeah, I don't think that can be done without a machinist.
Now I have never fired an FAL before, but I am assuming your statement about the main challenge being finding wooden furniture would be only partially correct based on these facts. Trigger guard modifications, finding a rear sight ($100-$250 from last night's research), dust cover modifications(or finding a real steel dust cover), finding a blank lower, seems like this project would be out of reach without a machinist.
