Good FAL vs AR-10 clone for accuracy?

[Float Pilot]

I have not fired any of the new AR-10 clones (or near clones)
I have only fired a real and rather beat up AR-10 that I borrowed for an afternoon from a grunt in Sudan years ago. (I had to clean it for him and gave him a case of pepsi.) Ithnk I was shooting at a metal tire wheel (rim) out around 200 paces so it is not like I could measure groups. It was really light and impossible to control in full auto mode.

I have fired a few issue FAl type rifles around the world. I was never super impressed with their pin-point accuracy except for once instance where some Brits had a good tight one that shot very nice groups. It seemed like most of the military FALs I fired were shooting 3 to 4 inch groups at 100 meters. With that one Brit rifle pulling off a nice 1.5 to 2 inch group with issue ammo.
My old M-21 would shoot rings around those FALs...

That said, how do these commercial sporting clones of the AR-10s do in the accuracy department compared to the recent crop of FAL sporter clones? Are all the new FALs over here parts guns?

I have a DPMS LR308 with a 24" barrel with an to-date average (since new)of .74 MOA (200 yards, 3 and 5 shot groups, fed gold match 168gr). I know that this is not uncommon for these rifles (LR's). It seems almost everyone that I have seen with these rifles have been able to group 2" or less at 100yds.

My DSA FAL has given me 2 inch groups, but I haven't really tried too much with it yet. I expect it'll tighten up with different ammo.

My DPMS AR-10 in 243 (which I've had a while) has a number of .75 inch 5 shot groups through it.

In reality, both are more accurate than I will ever need them to be.

I'm not sure either rifle is inherently more accurate. But it is probably easier and cheaper to accurize the AR platform than a FAL.

I like FALs for reliability and toughness, although the issue versions I shot had sights that were not as crisp as an M-14 peep.

I am about fed and up done with the regular small sized M-16 /AR-15 platforms.
