USED STG-58 for $1500!!!!!
I would buy one for that price used any day especially if it has an original Steyr receiver. I have read that many of these rifles had hammer forged chrome lined barrels which is a very good thing. These are very good firearms. The one part I would change is the metal hand guard it gets extremely cold in winter and very hot after shooting just one 20 round magazine. You could easily replace it with a polymer hand guard from another FAL rifle. Magazines and spare parts shouldn't be too hard to come by. And for a battle rifle it is hard to beat. Shooting 147-150 grain bullets would be typical fodder but you could always shoot heavier bullets 165-180 of you can get them.

Hi OldDirtyAR
Yes, if you find one. I found one, and it's reserved for me. Now it depends only on the papers I need for it, because it was a full auto weapon before, and then changed to a semi auto, I can not buy it to normal way.
I need a additional, special permit for it. Just the same as for a full auto. I already requested it, but it takes some weeks. And because of christmas and newyears eve, almost 2 weeks are lost.
Hope I will get it, then I will take the Stg 58. And I already planed to change tha handguard, and the topcover. Maybe the stock to. But there are not a lot aftermarket parts for the normal metric, non para, version.
