Okay heres the scoop. I've been looking for a .223 upper for my Spikes .22lr AR-15, it's sorta been the plan for a year now to go that way and build a versatile gun platform for competition and training.
However I am in a bit of a pickle right now, most resellers are sold out of most AR stuff I'd consider (Sabre) and some of the prices have been insane, costing more for an AR upper than the whole .22 rifle did. I did however stumble upon a gunshop selling British L1A1s for 750 euros (I'm in finland) and now I got offered it for 690e which is like 930 dollars.
I suppose it wouldn't be that big a deal under regular circumstances to get it and then start saving again for an AR upper and get both, but a new gun law is coming and nobody knows what effects it'll have. So there's a teeny chance I might only be able to get one gun, it's slight, there probably won't be any bans but it's something that worries people here anyway.
It's hard to choose, get FAL now, or continue to wait as I have for that AR upper. I suppose I should also mention that .308 prices are not that much different from .223 prices here. I will probably start reloading either.
