No.

Please fill me in about these guns or show me where to go.

If you build another AR, you will only have another AR. If you build a FAL, you will have a FAL!!!

Thank you Is there any 308 you would recomend that would be cheaper or better?

IMHO, no. You need a FAL.

You wanna build one or buy one? If you're looking to buy one, don't get a Centruy. Lurk at the FALfiles until you find a decent one. Buying one built in a garage with good quality parts is usually than the crap Centruy makes and that goes for their CETMEs too. For one in good mechanical condition but maybe a worn finish, expect to pay around $600. You may be lucky and find one for less.

For $600 you can either have a brand new STG58 from Entreprise www.entreprise.com or a rifle or carbine from Ohio Rapid Fire www.ohiorapidfire.com. The Entreprise has a lifetime warranty, the ORF a one year.

DONT BUY A FAL!! DO NOT BUILD A FAL!!

unless you are willing to neglect the rest of your guns and trade all of your other ammo for 308, and have dreams of filling your safe with nothing but FAL's........

STAY AWAY FROM FAL's!!

A FAL ADDICTION IS MUCH WORSE THAN AN AR ADDICTION!!

youve been warned.

I wish someone like davidp14 would have warn me about FALs before I got one.[>Q]
