I am really liking the standard brl, the one they call the Brush, and even the SOCOM if it has a real flash hider on the end vs the muzzle brake. I do believe the loading and unloading of the mag would be similiar to the AK series, and the safety is in a great position. More and more I am liking what I am seeing.
Then again, the price of ammo just plain sucks--the reason I got away from the FAL in the first place :^(
