Get a FAL, did you see the few good FAL deals at the show?
Not really, why do you prefer the FAL? I'm just comparing the two.
From what I've heard...
The FAL is better with ammo, as it's gas mechanism can be regulated.
The FAL has cheaper magazines.
The FAL is lighter, and won't warp and have a wondering zero like the M1A, although with a replacement stock this doesn't matter with the M1A.
The FAL has seen much more combat use than the M14 series weapons.
The M1A is more accurate, typically 4" groups instead of 6" groups, etc...
The M1A can accept the EBR stock, which is more than excellent.
The M1A seems to accept more modern accessories and modifications.
The M1A is better suited as a force multiplier role, such as a DMR - as apposed to the FAL being a battle rifle.
Does anybody have any information regarding a comparison between these two with mud tests. I mean, really, nasty dirty abuse tests like those sig 551 tests I posted a while back. Although I would purchase a 551, I'm looking for .308, without question.
FOR A MUD TEST, GO OVER TO
www.gunpartsguy.com
AND ASK HIM FOR THE LINK TO 'OLD UGLY' OR 'OL RELIABLE' OR SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES, HE USED TO HAVE THE LINK ON HIS HOME PAGE...REAL TORTURE TEST ON THE FAL, THEY BURIED THE THING IN MUD AND SAND AND SHOT IT AND NEVER CLEANED IT FOR SOME REMARKABLE AMOUNT OF TIME...IF YOU CALL HIM, HE'LL REMEMBER THE TEST AND PROBABLY KNOWS THE LINK OFF THE TOP OF HIS HEAD....
GUNPARTSGUY IS JUST A SUPER FELLOW, I HAVE NO FINANCIAL STAKE IN THIS, BUT HE IS A GOOD FRIEND, AND MANAGES TO MAKE THE LITTLE LOCAL SHOW EVERY NOW AND THEN........TELL HIM CARLOS DE LA CAPLOCK SENT YA.....AND DON'T BELIEVE ANY STORIES HE TELLS ABOUT ME...UNLESS THEY ARE MEAN AND VICIOUS..........
