I dont personally own one, but I have shot a SOCOM 16, and it is a very very nice rifle. I have an M1a Super Match right now, so getting a SOCOM16 isnt next on my buy list, but I would really like to have one.

Either would be good but I would choose the DSA FAL!

The FAL only because mags are much cheaper.

I'd be more inclined to go with the FAL myself, because (as someone else mentioned) mags are much cheaper.

+1 Plus the QC is much better on DSA then SO M14 clones. |

Humm Springfield Armory or DSA....
DSA fairly controversy free & excellent quality. Springfield has shitty "Customer Service" and qusetionable QC. FAL is a proven weapon system... DSA FAL!

For me a SOCOM. But as others have posted. DSA seems to be more worry free.

Someone here had a nice DSA para that wouldnt function for shit. DSA might make some good stuff but everybody has a shitty piece slip through now and then. I own a FAL that now (after much tweaking and not a DSA ) runs perfectly but it just doesnt feel as good in the hand as an M14 type rifle.

Love my FAL. had a SOCOM16, it was nice, i sold it and bought another FAL. why? no pistol grip. i really have no use for "traditional" rifle stocks, and i didn't want to put up the money for one of those EBR stocks. the other thing is, as stated above, mags. mags are so cheap and so plentiful. you can get REALLY nice ones for just a few bucks each. lastly, there are a lot of cool do-dads starting to come out for the FAL. the side-folding lowers are starting to pop up, railed fore ends, railed top covers... ETA: i forgot to mention i'm not a big fan of the SOCOM's muzzle brake, which you can't just take off. |

In my opinion the FAL is the only choice of those two.

An M1A is on my list for sure (Socom/bush/maybe standard- undecided), but the Para Congo followed me home first.
Tough choice, but I already voted for the DSA with my $. My first FAL and no regrets. |

I would pick the FAL over the SOCOM, but I would pick a bush/scout M1A over a FAL.
