Well I'll cast a vote for the FAL. Parts are plentiful and cheap. The rifles are powerful, fast pointing, accurate and easy to work (but not as easy as the AR IMHO).
The two best receivers are the Imbel and DSA. Entreprise is also highly rated. Avoid the Hesse. The DSA is US made so that counts as one of your US required parts. See [url]www.fnfal.com[/url] for everything you need to know about building a kit. [url]http://www.arizonaresponsesystems.com/[/url] is another source of information. Darn, can't find the other Arizona FAL gunsmith of note. Derek of AzArms (sp) is the guy I'm thinking of. |

I'd say FAL, all the way. Built mine for under $500 (including refinishing) and mags are REAL cheap if you look in the right places. I got 10 for $70 a couple months ago.
Go to [url]www.gunsnammo.com[/url] They have kits for $120 and receivers for $210. You [b]CAN[/b] just throw it together after you get those two items, but uuuumm... that wouldnt be legal. [;)] |

Ill go FAL also. I think they are nicer rifles and they are cheaper to boot. I think the HK's are too heavy and recoil too much.

The FAL is way easier. WAY easier. The HK barrel is pressed in place, requiring a press, and I seem to remember some welding involved. I have a buddy who built several, so it's not like it's impossible or anything. Just alot harder than a FAL. I've built ARs, FALs, M-14s, M1911A1s, and a few other types. FALs are about as easy a build as an AR. Parts are plentiful as well, and you can custommize it during the build easier because of all the different variations of pieces available.

don't need to weld the hk if you buy a stamped steel reciever (aluminum is ugly but stiffer) with the cocking tube welded at the factory. hk is da 'chit!
