Quoted: M1A. lol, just ignoring the whole 800 or below price thing huh? Op, I like the cetmes but if you are getting a new one realize that it has probably been fucked up by the monkeys at century...ask me how I know. The fuck ups are generally easy to fix though. |

Neither. Save up your pennies and get a DSA FAL clone. It's better to save money in the long run by paying now, rather than wasting precious currency on junk that will give later on. |

FAL is a much better rifle than a Century CETME.
My CETME ran fairly well and was accurate, but the FAL just outclassed it. I eventually sold the CETME and kept my FALs. I've got multiple FALs and zero CETME's now if that tells you anything....  My first FAL...it made my CETME expendable...  |

Between the 2 choices, FAL, no question. If I were you and was looking for a moderately priced .308, I would shop around for a Polytech M14s

Saiga???
I voted FAL since I used to have one and loved it. Unfortunately I sold it before I joined the CG because my parents wouldn't keep my guns in their house and my friend won't sell it back to me.  Although it was a Century so I'm probably better off.

Can't believe they're selling it so cheaply. If I hadn't just bought a yugo and Polish UF I'd probably scoop it up. $695 FAL Linky....yup I'm a fucking hero :) |

I voted Cetme because I own one. And I love it !
As for Ergo's. what's wrong with them ? Mine doesnt kick much more than my Yugo SKS, and yes you do have to learn how to bear down on the rifle to get decent grouping...but it's a freaking .308 ! I must have some sort of magic mags, because they all eject just fine...beit steel or aluminum. Oh yeah, I'd like to see an $800 FAL, or HK-91 for that matter. Guess where HK got the licence to COPY their precious 91, G3, Etc ETC ETC... ? I get folks at the range telling me that CAI copied HK's and they are gonna get sued for making HK clones. If they only knew...... ETA...only pic for now, digi cam went south...

I would go with a dsa FAL first. M1A second and a JDL prt91 third. The M1a has the best iron sight but the Fal is my favorite. I've check out the hk91/cetma.... and I didn't like the trigger. I don't like Century guns ..AR-10 ?

If it's built on an Imbel which many of the early CAI FALs were you're GTG. At that point the receiver alone is worth $400.(I haven't check prices lately though). IIRC the R1A1s were built on Century receivers which suck. But it's worth checking out. Hell mines a early Century "built in Canada" on an Imbel and it runs like a champ and is every bit as good as a DSA. Actually, it's better I had Moses from Falfiles work some magic.

A CETME is an ergonomic train wreck. yep I have a HK91 and a PTR. I like both very much and they are fairly accurate, but if I'm being honest, the ergonomics really suck. I wanted an HK since I saw one in my grandpas SOF mag back in the late 70's. Finally had the money a few years ago and bought it. The only reason I keep it is the childhood memory of how "cool" I thought it was back then and how I just had to have one someday. I voted FAL even though I don't currently own one, but it's on my very short list of "soon to aquire". |

Well, I was looking into a CETME and well aware that I may need to do things like replace the ground bolt, replace rollers, etc. I have twenty aluminum G3 mags that I got for $.99, what the hell do I do now? It's obvious that Arfcom has a hardon for the FAL. Can I get cheap mags for a FAL?
