 You can get one like this now...unless you are in one of the Still-Banned States. MT Some features like the New Mag Capacity, REmovable Flash Hider and Folding Stock were banned. |

It's true, I admit it, I'm a big gunslut.  "Hello, my name is Zen, and I'm a Gunaholic." "Hello Zen!" "God grant me the serenity to accept the FALs I cannot own" "To own the FALs that I can" "And the wisdom to buy lots of ammo for them" Zen "This is my FAL, there are many like it, but this one kicks ASS" |

They're like Volvos. Yu think they're ugly until you own one and all their other virtues win you over. |

The main reason I want to get a FAL (when I get outta this state) is they're just plain sexy looking to me.
The second reason I want to get one is many places have a ban on hunting deer with .223....so, why not piss off all the elitist hunters by using the same round they are but also using an evil rifle? |

I haven't seen anyone actually try to send you over to the dark side.... so I guess I will... Be sure to check out The FAL Files website. Plenty of forums of FAL lovin' over there. And I'll give a +1 to everyone else's reasons for loving the FAL. I like the highly customizable nature of them as well. So many different variants out there and you can assemble one pretty much however you want to. If you don't like the FAL pistol grip, you'll find that the grip off of the M249 fits the FAL perfectly. Want a FAL in a different calibre? There are conversion kits for 9mm, .45ACP, .223, and a host of others. |

Yes, they were, but they are also part of the '89 "import ban"(992r), and they still require the proper amount of USA produced parts. Oh yeah, check out the FAL Files

Wow... It figures the one I'd fall in love with costs $1500, and that's without any upgrades. And I thought that the AR was going to be my most expensive rifle. I'm sure I could get a cheaper FAL, but do I really want to sacrifice quality? That's why I spent the extra money to get a Colt AR (Wait... let me throw my flame suit on now).
DSA SA58 TACTICAL CARBINE I already know I'd be replacing the stock with one of those folding ones. $$$$$$$$$ This whole idea may be a little more expensive for me than I thought. |

Yep - we did a plate shoot at the Hun Farm.... and one guy kept kicking out butts shooting a FAL, because many times it took two or three .223 hits to take the big plates down, and he just blew the crap outa them! |

I know they are hard to find anymore.... but my FAL cost like $400-$450 from Aimsurplus when they had them. Imbel receiver, Austrian STG kit.... I did my research, and replaced the cheap FCG with a FSE, and replaced the gas piston with a DSA, right off the bat. Mine has been near flawless. I'm glad I didnt pay a bundle for it. Having a good, reliable, CHEAP battle rifle is just cool.

Nice Guy - Yes, you do.
Paul - Well put. Ditto Fenian. FALARAK - I like nekkid barrels. Fister - Call your sponsor. Now. High Caliber - Once you get an FAL you realize most of the things you did before don't count. DrFridge - You will be assimilated. You too Karl. And ammo is about 22c a round vs. 17 for the 5.56. (ballpark figures based on a case at a time) Stay away from the Indian surplus. Mauser - I like the way you think. |

A CAI FAL will hold your boat in place as well as a CAI G3. |

Yep, that there's the reason to go metric, for no other reason than mag compatability (let alone other compatability concerns). I hate this thread. Now I have the "wannas." |

How durable is the rear sight? It looks very volnurable sitting on top of the cover with no protection. I understand that it is only adjustable for windage while you move the front post for elevation. How do you move the rear aperature?

Old Belgian battle rifle (7.62x51 NATO (.308))... Generally superior in design to the M14 (more modern materials, no wood, no gooseneck stock), although the M14 has more accuracy potential... Generally inferior in design & accuracy to an AR-10 style rifle, but much cheaper to buy... |

First it does not sit on the cover, it sits on the lower receiver. Second the rear sight is adjustable for windage and elevation. |

You guys have messed me up so bad. First, I went on an AR shopping spree until I had no more money to spend. Now, I'm stalking the web for a GREAT deal on a DSA FAL tactical. Maybe I'm setting the bar to high, but F*&K it! I want one dammit. Why did you do this to me?!?!?!?!?! First I couldn't stop thinking of ARs. Now I cant stop thinking of DSA FALs. What's next?
