They are really at the top of the heap for the FAL. With the exception of the lightweight lower, I actually like them better than the SA58. I wouldn't bother with replacing the barrel. The Steyr barrels are generally in VERY good shape and are great quality.

I bought a DSA STG-58 last spring. No need to spend the extra money for the new barrel - the Steyr barrels are practically new anyway. Mine has been great so far.

Get the DSA StG58A. You won't regret it.
Find out if it comes stock with metal or plastic handguards. If metal, ask DSA if they'll swap the metal for plastic for a small additional charge. Likewise the bipod. Maybe they'll remove the std, fixed bipod and install the quick-detach version for a few extra bucks. Wouldn't hurt to ask. You might also consider asking to have them install their scope mount top cover right off the bat. Get the one with the optional brass-catcher if you can. I realize this stuff will increase the price somewhat. However, if you ask prior to purchase, they will probably knock off some of the additional $ in return for your removed OEM parts. Most of the things I've suggested above are modifications most FALers come to do sooner or later. Might as well start out right, and save a little money in the long run. |

Did you just use the term "save a little money" when discussing the FAL? I'm not positive, but I think this may be the first use of this phrase in connection to a FAL. They are money pits. Very fun, loud and versitle money pits. You may as well accept this fact now. The ascimilation process is less painful that way. |

I have an extra if there is such a thing. Been practically begging for someone to make a respectable offer in trade for a AR rifle. Maybe you have an "extra" AR rifle? The only thing I wish I would have done is had it cut and crown to 18". But thats opening up to a whole lot of opinions. Really depends on what you're specific needs/wants are. Good luck.
