answer to both will more than likely be a no.

Longer inner barrel yes, longer outer, probably not as modular as m4s.

The aftermarket for anything that isn't an M4 is slim. After M4 the most aftermarket support is probably in AK or g36 and even those can get very limited.

FALs are generally on the proprietary side of things in terms of their parts, since there have been a fair number of them from different manufacturers (real steel and airsoft) over the years.

They don't have swappable outer barrels in real steel, you generally buy the one in the length you want. The platform was never designed to be modular.

So in the case of the FAL, you get what you get with it. If you can't find parts for it, then they don't exist or you aren't googling hard enough to find out they don't exist.

There is no such thing as an mp5 style (or more accurately g3 styled) grip for the FAL because FAL is made by FN herstal in belguim while the MP5 and it's grandfather the g3 are by HK in germany. The grips on all the G3 decedents are integrated with the lower receiver on HK guns.

You're basically asking if you can put FORD parts on a CHEVROLET.

I could be wrong... but probably, most likely not, as far as I know.
