Definitely check out the FAL.

DSA is making a variety of really decent models, full length and carbine. Unfortunately, the BATF just ruled that barrels and part kits cannot be imported for "new" rifles (US made receivers to make them compliant with the 89 import ban). This is a new interpretation of the old rule, but screws people who want new FALs when the already parts kits run out. That means people will have to pay for new, American-made parts.

Thanks for the link! I like the looks at that SA58 Carbine. What's the effective range on the FALs/DSAs? I'm guessing about 300 yards.
I like how some little BATF red taper can come up with rules or "interpretations" countering the Constitution. I guess the breakdown in New Orleans means nothing to these pr##ks! I'm tired of paying their bills and getting screwed in the process.
