Guys, i'm looking to expand the weapons list by moving into the previously untouched (by me) realm of FAL's.
While its clear they are pricey, I looked through Enterprise Arms site and saw some lower prices. But..I know little or nothing of this bunch. I would appreciate any info the hive may have on the subject weapon or company. Don't blame me I just love 7.62mm x 51. |

The recievers are often out of spec and fully assembled guns may have some bubba work done to account for this... At least this was the reputation back in the day... |

falfiles.com Then go to message boards. Everything you ever wanted to know about FALs. Very good archives on building and fixing. Have fun!
Arfcom has a Fal Discussion Thread Click on Armory. See above on th header bar. Have more fun.

If you want an FAL, then you should do it right. Save your money and buy a DSA. They are expensive, but they are the best. Anything else and you're increasing your chances of being dissatisfied. My advice, take it or leave it. This The same advice goes for HK91 rifles. Either buy a HK or a PTR. FAL either buy a FN or DSA. Imbel is ok. |

Last gun show I went to had a FAL for sale for $600. I was sorely tempted but held off. I wrote down the shop in case I wanted to go get it after the show. I came back to ARFCOM and researched the manufacturer because I hadn't heard of them: Hesse. Glad I stayed away. |

FAL's priced reasonably (for the most part there). Of the "factory guns" hierarchy is as follows: FN Springfield Armory (Factory Imbel) DSA Everyone else Kit built guns are as good as the builder who built them and the kit's condition. There are many that rival or even exceed factory builds, but they can vary widely in quality. |
