Hey Lancer, What make and model is your's? It looks nice.
Mtang45
Obviously you either didn't read what I said, or more likely you are incapable of understanding.
The FAL while being a good rifle was marketed by a sales force around the world by a private company looking to make a profit.
On the other hand the U.S. armory system which was only in the business of supplying the U.S. military, couldn't care less if the M14 could be marketed for a profit or not. That was my point. Anything else you want to infer from that is strictly speculation on your part.
For the record, I own a FAL. While a good weapon, it's not nearly as good a tool as the M14. Of course my opinion is the same as yours, in that it's just an opinion and is worth exactly what you paid for it
One more time for the cheap seats. The M14 was designed and manufactured through the U.S. armory system (read federally funded). It's construction and production was designed solely to fill U.S. needs. It was never intended to be sold overseas in quantity. The FAL which was designed and built by a private company for profit and sale abroad is a totally different animal.
