Sounds like you're headed down a good path. Will be fun to test out the FAL and see if it meets your needs.

I really have no experience with .308 autos. Main reason I was asking is because .308 is expensive...and in auto, I could not afford to feed one, lol. Everytime I consider a .308 semi-auto, I come back to my bolt and maintain preference on the 5.56 for the high output configuration....thus I'm a bad reference.

Looking forward to seeing your reviews when the FAL comes in! Pics!
