(I do like an original STG-58 Steyr hammer forged barrel though...). That muzzle brake looks less than enjoyable as well, a good Stoll would be better... poor FAL...
Seriously though- if I was chasing accuracy via an FAL, I would start with a heavy barrel. Well actually I would just try a SCAR, but you get the idea.

So..I generally share your opinion on magpul furniture (I agree the Fal is also awesome). I dont have any on my AR (I dont want an AR10).But if I could get a better stock with an adjustable comb..Id ditch the magpul.(Not going to a para lower)
I think the Glass on there now is a 6-24x50 DRO from DSArms (Its not a light rifle..Its like 15lbs loaded)...It was a 5-35x56 Covenant 7..
As far as accuracy. I shoot several 308s..Can the Fal get around 1.5moa?...Yes..Heck Ive even got a 20 shot 2moa group (Its 4 (5) shot groups my wife shot with the same Magtec Sniper 168gr).I was able to connect with a 1/2 Ipsc target at 500 yards..Good enough for me I guess.
The Brake is very effective and my neighbors hate me..But as the shooter, its very nice. (It was on a bullpup..and it was horrible to be behind..
I do have access to a Scar and have done a couple accuracy tests with some American Marksman 175gr m118 LR. It did shoot better than my Fal, but not a ton better. Its owner suggests I stick to bolt guns if I want moa or better for handloads.
