For 1,900 you could get an AR-15 + Aimpoint PRO or Trijicon MRO + a suppressor

Or you could have a memerifle because....you think its cool?

Already have an AR, great weapon, but I need something with more of a punch

The FAL is a shitty rifle that fails mud and sand tests and got phased out rediculously fast for being garbage.

There is nothing you can post to refute this, inb4 muh fucking Rhodesia fatty meme.

Yeah and the AK fails it too

Your point?

Join the CMP and get an M1 Garand or build/buy an AR-10. The G3 and FAL are cool and all but they suck at everything and are safe queen range toys for all practical purposes

>meme
The best battle rifles to grace human kind, we would've carried these instead of the M14 but politics got in the way.

Get a PTR-91.

If you are dead set on a FAL (you should be it's a great rifle, but so is the PTR) DSA recievers are not the best course of action to take, I recommend trolling gunshows for an Imbel build, esp taking a look at older century's shoddy builds to rework.
I rebuilt a Imbel century, and later on found a imbel Century L1A1 at a gun store in shitty shape for $650 that I also picked up, reworked and ended up selling for a similar price as that DSA

I don't get it, how does highlighting another shitty weapon help your case?

Ill definitely check that out, thanks for the tip m8

>most widely distributed battle rifle in the world
>sucks at everything and is a safe queen
>just get a gerand
what?

AR-10s are far more finicky than G3s and FALs

>shot out CMP Garand more practical than G3 or FAL
Sure thing sparky

The battle rifle is just as obsolete and retarded as a scout rifle

You would rather have a G3 or FAL than a Garand? What kind of commie fag are you exactly?

What do you consider to be a good rifle then?

It goes to prove the point that even the most well known rifle for reliability fails the test too, maybe it means that rifles arent meant to run with mud in them

At least the Garand is cool and collectible a G3 or FAL is reproduction trash of a weapon that was borderline obsolete at its inception...

>G3 made by Germans quite literally the best anti-commies
>FAL fought commies in the hand of NATO and later in Rhodesia against floppies

The Garand is just a fad since most of us were raised on WW2 media that glorifies it.

2nd most common semi auto rifle ever made.

>hurr durr can't survive getting runned over by tank and put in a volcanoe.

what a fucking lie.

I have all three (PTR not G3), but that has no bearing on the practicality. The Garand is beautiful and was a fine weapon in 1937, but in practical terms it doesn't hold a candle to the G3 or FAL.

Hey, dumbass, FAL is literally nicknamed the "right arm of the free world," ever hear of the Rhodesian bushwar? That fucking rifle slaughtered negro commies like nothing, get on your knees runt, you don't deserve to stand tall after besmirching the name of machinery that has done more to rid the world of evil than you ever have or ever will.

You disgust me.

Old ones are good, new ones all have cast aluminum receivers. If you want a good reliable battle rifle I suggest a PTR made ptr(all issues are from rtg), a good made m14 variant (don’t have one don’t know brands) or if you have money to spend a scar 17. The only issue I’ve had from my ptr is the rear sights being messed up which I’ve ordered the tool to fix, and they’re by no means the best on the market but they’re more rugged than an FAL and you can get mags for $4 off cheaper than dirt last time I checked. Occasionally you can find good made FALs on armslist or your lgs for a good price. When I got mine I sacrificed aesthetics for functionality and overall affordability

I'd say if you really want a M14 get a BM59.
If you want a top notch FAL, you're going to probably have to get a parts kit and find a non cast receiver. DSA has poor quality control.

If we are talking practical why in the fuck are obsolete battle rifles even in the conversation?

I disagree generally, but at the asking price for that FAL you are correct. The G3 is great because economics and because it's an all around good rifle for a myriad of purposes

get an imbel parts kit, a dsa receiver and some fal tools and build your own for less and have fun with it

Thank you user

Because they're only obsolete according to ignorant autists such as yourself. There's absolutely nothing obsolete about the G3 or FAL platform, they're just less common than AR10s because they cost more.

>G3 or FAL is reproduction trash of a weapon that was borderline obsolete at its inception...

What the FG-42, the STG-45, or the FN-49?

>Hurf durf intermediates make full sized cartridges useless
>being absolutely ignorant of the fact that explosive breakthroughs in body armor technology are rendering intermediates closer and closer to obsolescence.

I'd argue with recent experiences in A-Stan that every military should retain an amount of modern battle rifles, say something like 1/15th or more the ratio of 5.56 small arms, give combat units an option

This x1000, the BM59 is what the M14 should have been from the get go

because they aren't obsolete. Well technically the G3 and FAL are now behind the curve - but still servicable, but battle rifles on the whole are not obsolete in any shape or form

The idea of a .30 cal rifle that can reach out to 600+ yards effectively is not obsolete. But that is not a battle rifle that is a DMR and should be used in small numbers. The idea of giving everybody .30 cal rifles with red dots or irons and bringing back the battle rifle concept is fucking retarded.

The keyword being modern...I agree

AR passed both tests fine.

Weapons aren't made to run with mud in them yes, a good one is designed to keep that out.

At least get the based Para Congo edition

I like how the no guns are telling him "Durrr just get AR" or even funnier "Get another AR".

OP wants a rifle that isn't a fucking AR, lmao, FALs are great rifles just because Inrangetv's mud test failed it doesn't mean it's bad, or even that InRangeTv thinks it's bad, they don't think so.

OP isn't trying to fight in Vietnam guys, and neither are any of you, he doesn't need a rifle where you dump mud and rocks into the receiver and have it also still work.

>There is nothing you can post to refute this

mud tests are a fucking meme and you're a retard for thinking they matter at all

Mud teats are the be all end all of a weapons reliability but they can and do highlight faults of a given action.

I'm sure next you'll argue pressure tests, and fowling tests don't mean shit either. Face it you got btfo. And your expensive rifle is fundamentaly inferior to more modern systems.

You're right, AR's are amazing at keeping shit out of the action.

The majority of the problems come from a lack of maintenance. I love my AR, and it definitely serves its purpose amazingly well

BUT, I still want a fal.

sue me

Are DSA alright? I think I'd spend a little more and get a FN FAL

You can get a lot of rifles that aren't an AR that are solid options...a fucking cold war era battle rifle is not one of those

You don't know what you're talking about.

Mine runs fine, can hit 9 inch steel gongs at 600 with this setup easy. Forewarning it's heavy.

And you are giving shit advice based off anime memes fuck off moron

see, I'm glad this guy knows that InRange™ Brand mud tests the only thing that matters when buying a gun. That's why I own nothing but single shot pipe guns, that way they can't be jammed when cycling.

Modern DSA FALs aren't worth the money with their cast receivers and QC issues at their current price. The owner of DSA is also a cunt. Either buy an old kit build or get a different rifle.
