Something about the stock and the angle of the pistol grip feels uncomfortable to me. I wish I had built some back when FAL kits were easy to get. I have friends who used to put them together at the campground at shoots just using a vice attached to a pick up truck trailer hitch.
I'm more interested in the Rock River Arms 308 AR that takes fal mags now since you can still get fal mags in NY.
The FAL is just so sexy to me and feels great. Been giving some serious thought to FN's SCAR 17 or perhaps the Hogan (formerly POF)AR style, made here locally.
