Think FN-FAL and DS Arms (www.dsarms.com). The AR-15 is a great little assault rifle. The FAL is a true battle rifle; a little dated, but very accurate, dependable, heavier punch (7.62 NATO vs. .223).
Better yet - get both - why get all worked up over such a quandry!

I have an FN-FAL rifle. It was made in Brazil. Do you have an opinion on the Brazil FN-FALs?
