So, as i was looking around at the history of the Ishapore 2a1 i read that it was manufactured in place of the FAL due to manufacturing difficulties.

Then i notice something interesting:
The Ishapore magazines look a lot like the FAL magazines

Ive never had either an ishapore or an FAL in my hands, so i dont know, but are the magazines for both rifles interchangeable? Are they similar enough to mod an existing FAL mag to use in the 2a1?

Im very curious cuz i really would love to have one of these Ishapore rifles.
I mean a .308 SMLE? Shit, sign me up for the gurhka corps or somethin
