If you don't get the PARA now then it would cost you more than 3 bills to convert it.
Get the Para, it is what you want and you won't be happy unless you get what you want. |

I'm with AFSOC on this. Para is the way to go. Buy ammo later.

your rifle needs the extra evil feature because it will be all in the name of pissing the libtards off that and that is what I would spring for

They're OK. I own both and don't think I'd buy another para, but I'm glad to have the one I have.
They're not that compact when folded due to the width of the stock - nothing like a slim AK sidefolder. And they're not bad, but they're not all that comfortable, either. They also get in the way of the trigger when folded. You can reach it, but it's uncomfortable. Of course, if you don't intend to shoot it with the stock folded it's not an issue. Lastly, I'm not a big fan of DSA's scope mount since it mars the reciever and I've heard of the screws stripping or the plates working loose. But DSA's mount is the only one that I know of that allows you to remove the para's unique recoil sping/carrier/bolt setup without removing the scope mount. I don't know that Arms or Leapers mounts will return to zero when removed for cleaning, but when I get the money to throw an EOtech on my para 16"er, I think I'm giving the ARMS mount a shot. |

There are some significant design differences between the Para and the full size FAL you should consider. The fixed stock FAL has a recoil spring system in the stock. In the Para this has to be condensed under the top cover. That is why the Para uses a different carrier, top cover, etc. The end result is more felt recoil on the Para and a bit less accuracy. I think the Para is a cool looking gun but there is probably good reason why virtually every military which used the FAL used the fixed stock version...
