I have just put a carbine length, fixed stock dsa fal on layaway and will pick it up end of the month, I have read a lot about them but what should I expect from this beauty of a rifle, from those who have been end users, outside of high ammo cost?
Just put a DSA fal on layaway, what to expect ?

You will be very pleased. They are very nicely put together rifles. I have the G1 Collectors Edition and it's a beautiful rifle.
Ammo yes is rough going lately. The Lithuanian surplus, if you can find it, is one of the best buys these days. It's NATO spec ammo in a reloadable case.
Like all the other ammo though the price is through the roof.

You should expect to:
1. Want another - probably a Para - pretty soon thereafter
2. Join falfiles.com to show off your new pretty
3. Do a lot of googling for cheap .308 ammo
4. Then start looking into reloading .308 ammo
5. Start asking about optical sight options
6. Soon be able to see babypuke Rhodie camo as a thing of beauty
7. Buy a kit so you can earn your WECSOG diploma
8. Develop an elevator-pitch to answer the most common question at the range - "Whoawhatizthat?!?"
9. Memorize "The Story of Number 27"

What to expect?
Pure unadulturated bliss in the form of a rifle.

The one I put on layaway is being sold as brand new, is there a DSA Case?
The case that was with it was the standard walmart 10.00 rifle case but what type of case came with you alls rifles, how many mags and what else came with it and what type of accessories are suggested , not required , probably just get a vertical grip and maybe a rail i think its called a x duty rail mount, and maybe some type of red dot optics

DSA ships it in a Doskosil style plastic case

Get the DSA scope mount that accepts the brass catcher gizmo.

Mine was in the Doskosil style case, the cheapo type. It came with 2 mags, a sling, and a manual.

What iamkris and TexasRifleman said -- the case ain't nothing to get excited about.
The rifle, on the other hand, will be something to be excited about.
