So I am building a G1 FAL look alike and have potentially found a real G1 barrel. For those of you who dont know, a G1 barrel is non threaded at the end but has a attachment lug about 2 inches from the end of the barrel. This lug is used as a quick disconnect to attach flash hiders, blank adapters etc. It is not used for the express purposes of attaching a bayonet however. The bayonet, from what I understand attaches to another device which then attaches to the lug on the barrel - it cannot attach directly. I have also purchased a fake flash hider that will attached to the barrel lug as I know that I will not be allowed to have one.

My concern is that the attachment lug will be viewed as a bayonet lug and I really don't want to get into any sort of trouble over semantics.

Anyone else ever have a similar issue? Am I being paranoid?
