What all is involved in putting a new barrel on a FAL? Easy enough for someone who has never changed a barrel on anything other than an M-240B, or should I pay a gunsmith to do it? What about replacing the whole frontend? I have a full length handguard/gas system, but I'm interested in the DSA short one. Other than a different look, are there any advantages/disadvantages to the short gas system? I haven't had any reliability issues with the full length gas system on a 16.5" bbl, but I know it makes a big difference on AR's. Maybe not so important on FALs?
