Does anyone have any tips for buying my first SAR?

Anything in particular I should look out for?

Make sure the front site, gas block, and rear site are all perfectly straight. If not buying in person, MAKE them check, or tell them it's going back and wasting their time and your time.

Work the action.  Make sure it is smooth, and won't hang up even if you ride the lever home.

My SAR2, which I bought despite my "conscious" saying put it back was rough.  Thought I could work it out.  Probably still can, needs a new gas piston.  But has kinda frustrating.  If it works "rough", move on to the next one.  I got stupid, and went ahead and got the last in stock at the local gun store.  DOH!
