Silverlance, I never said that Entreprise guns were worthless. You, however, keep trying to suggest that listings of DSA guns for sale are an indication that the owners of those guns weren't happy with them. That's ridiculous, and I've pointed out why. You can speculate all you want about why some owners may decide to sell them, but isn't it curious that for all your talk about how unhappy DSA owners must be, you can't seem to find any of them? The 'net gun boards are full of posts from people raving about how much they love their DSA's, and at the same time they are chock full of reports of problems with Entreprise guns that don't work, complaints about poor Entreprise quality control and customer service, etc. Just take a look at falfiles.com and you'll see that the overwhelming weight of opinion is that if you buy an Entreprise, you run a much higher risk of having serious problems with your FAL.
The same is often said of Century-built CETME rifles, and for the same reasons. And my opinion of both companies' products is the same -- they can be excellent values IF you do your homework, inspect carefully, and generally buy only rifles that someone else has already done the hard work of sorting out. There are perfectly fine Entreprise FAL's and Century CETME's out there, but if I'm putting my money down, I prefer the better odds that come with buying from a manufacturer that has a well-earned reputation for quality.
Incidentally, I have to wonder whether you really want to advertise that an Entreprise FAL sold recently for $800 when that price included nearly $400 worth of ammo and mags. That would suggest that the rifle was only worth around $400. I'm sure whoever put that package together had a lot more than $800 invested in it.
