Ive been looking and cant seem to compare the pros and cons of each. Im in the market for a semi 308. If you could have only one what would it be?
The DPMS LR 308 Classic is just under $1000. 20" barrel, pretty common gun with w plethora of aftermarket support.
The DSA Imbel metric FAL that Aim Surplus has is also just under $1000. Cant seem to find much info on the aftermarket support though. It has a 16" barrel.
Im wanting this gun for a range toy. Paper out to 400 yards? Suprplus ammo . General plinking also. Magazines seem to be similarly priced for each so thats a plus. I guess my main concern is accuracy. What gun will perform better in the consistency department? I also plan on shooting suppressed. How do the Fals do with a can on the end? The ones that AIM has for sale have a gawdy muzle break that will need to be removed and Im sure theyre not threaded 5/8x24 for suppressor use, so theres another hundred or so at the gun smith getting that fixed.
Also, had a buddy that had a DSA Imbel FAL from AIM and I clearly remember a few times he wanted to throw it in the woods because it was not operating properley, he fixed it but I dont know what it took. Ive got too many ARs and really dont want another one sitting around, Id like to mix it up a bit.
Thoughts? If you could have only one, what would it be?
