A friend and I were just discussing our favorite guns and if you could have only one, what would it be?
Fal is my fave.  So who else prefers a heavy ass .308 to a light, ergonomic and accurate ar15? |

a couple primer blowouts resulted in some nasty gas cutting on the bolt face, so I need a new bolt and have to reheadspace it. |

Leave here now and take you're foreign, european rifle with you! The only .308/7.62x51 I can justify you having is the American M1A/M14. |

Given the choice, (but they are banned here in Britain) I too would own a FAL, well actually the British L1A1 SLR, a superior FAL! ANdy |

+1 on the Yugo Mauser. But now that it's become a caliber question, the best caliber is .30-06. |

Gotta love the Mak pistol (or PP-AK submachine gun if we were allowed to import them, etc.) But if the SHTF, AR-15 all the way.

The "FAL vs. AR15" has already cost me too much of my life, in sleepless nights and days of indecisiveness.
Thanx for bringing it up again.  |

AR-15. Shot my friend's select fire M-1 on full auto. Muzzle rise was uncontrollable and recoil in general was not conducive to follow up shots. In short, I couldn't hit shit with it.

5.56 here, though if I had an AK/FAL/M1A that might be a different story. My 60gr hollowpoints should do well on bad guys though.

i don't even own an AR.
but i do own an L1A1 built on an Imbel receiver eta: if you've never picked one up before, they're freaking heavier than they look. |

yeah but that is what makes them such a joy to shoot, not much recoil and they are very easy to hold steady. |
