Who plans on using the FAL?

[CJS06]

Average price is $3,000-

With a quality (Receiver and barrel) AR-10 upper going for ~$1,100 you could buy a 80% lower and the appropriate hardware to make it go bang and have a top notch rifle for ~$1,500. Just thinking out loud here.

The Aero Precision which has a good quality barrel and bcg, full length keymod rail is $1499.  I have handled a few of these, they are a great deal.  Also not widely known, Aero Precision actually manufactures lowers for a large number of the "big" brands that are out there.

Your prices are sky scrapper high bro.

You should be able to get a cheap FAL for no more than 15 same with PTRs. Scars are retarded expensive for what they are IMO ( Refipricating charging handle KILLS that system for me ) and ARs I don't like so I ever cared to look into.

LOL...Thx RVR. those are retail prices or gotten from gunbroker.com.

You can get LMTs for $2500 and SCARs are regularly around $24-2500. 

Reaver after you have run a SCAR or an AR style .308 for 2800rds over 3 days their advantages over the FAL stand out a ton more. Being able to run a 16" carbine that shoots a ton softer and is significantly more accurate than the 20" barreled FAL is defintely a win.   That said I would still take the FAL over the PTR.

 Neither however looks as good as a beautiful wood furnished FAL. Those and a quality M1A have an aesthetic that is hard to compete with.

As it sits. Could never run that many rounds through a rifle I can't afford.

What I can do is read history books. Until the scar or AR10s have been around for 50 years + of fighting in every condition known to man. I'll hold out.


Some will call me ignorant and blahzablah but I as a broke bitch I  need to substitute history for rounds down range when it comes to testing. I'm sorry that's just the way it is till I hit the lotto. Hope that makes sense for a few at least.
