Ahhhhh ..... you are CLEARLY a man of great style. class and taste. The "Inch" pattern rifles are really an evolution of the FAL. The differences to the original rifles are generally considered as improvements. The BHO, Mag Release, folding charging handle etc are all better than the originals (IMHO). The folding CH was of course used on FAL rifles as well. The only thing on Inch rifles I am in two minds about (still) is the higher sight plane vs most metric rifles (though some use the same). The folding rear sight is 50/50 with me, great if you decide to use optics of some description however.
