Um... there have been cheap ones running around in the States for a while. Mine’s a semi-collectable and it cost less than a good new M1A. You can build one for less than $750 now - “It’s like Barbie for men!”
They’re even made in the USA now, DSA got tooling from the Germans and elsewhere.
Nice, I’ll take a look around. I scoped out FN FALs a few years ago and was seeing prices north of $2K for complete guns. You could get parts kits, but not intact receivers. A buddy of mine bought a cut one (for $300!!!) and did I-know-not-what with it.
