I only own bolt actions.
Little or no experience with battle rifles.
The FFL in-law recommends an fn fal or Hk G3 style rifle, so that is what I'm looking at. No sks, ak-47 style, AR, etc.......
I always listen to what he recommends, however, he has been out of the FFL bit for some time and isn't sure who has kits or what's what now.
I'm looking for recommendations/suggestions.
Yeah, I know the DS arms are nice, but they are also 1000 bucks. A bit tough to come by in these days of a dollar worth less than canadian.
I just want some links or pointers towards affordable fn fal kits, cetme's, etc....
Hoping to spend not much past about 700 or so, give or take a hundred. Yes, I could scrape up (with great difficulty) the 1000 bucks for the DSA stuff but it would financially cripple me for some time. Gotta afford the ammo and cleaning supplies......
I can get gunsmithing help for free so I'm not afraid of some of the supposed "gunsmith specials" in regards to cheaper battle rifle kits/producers.
I know another guy has a battle rifle thread going, but I felt my needs were a bit different than his. I ain't making a collection to collect, but to use heavily.
Anyway, all your suggestions are appreciated.
