Hi all,
Looking into an FAL. The STG58 is affordable ($1000), but has some qualities I don't like (Belgian style muzzle break, grey phosphate finish, I'd rather synthetic furniture, no need for a tripod). The SA58 is really what I want, but costs $400 more! I would rather not spend the $1000 on something that is not exactly what I want... but an extra $400! Sure, I know FAL parts kits builds are cheaper, but I'd rather have the quality control and good customer support of DS Arms.
Do dealers get any breaks when buying these if I order one through my FFL? Is there any way to get a better price without insulting or offending my local firearms dealer? Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
