Looked at one in McKenna yesterday, looked pretty cool and the weight is wonderful!! Is it accurate Gary?? The "expert" working there told me it shot MOA to 950 meters! :dunno:

Yep, that don't surprise me at all, with good ammo these things will shoot very well. I have one 16" AP4 collapsable stock version and one that was a 24" LR308 but now it sports the 20" SASS fluted barrel. Both are very accurate and super dependable, I would not hesitate to grab one up as things in the gun world are changing very fast, it could be ban time again before we know it :dunno: but why risk it if you have the free cash to do it now. MagPul makes 20 round poly mags for them too, I probably should order up a couple more real soon.

I'd buy an FN FAL before that.

DPMS doesn't have the best reputation but it could be an interesting platform for a build.

I used to build the FN FAL rifles from kits, finding a regular supply of parts can be difficult and the accuracy simply is not there, DSA's stuff is not great quality any longer from what I have been hearing. The AR10 platform offers way more options than any FAL can even begin to dream of. Otherwise the FAL is a great battle rifle if you want at best a 3 MOA gun.
