Interesting seeing how much overlap in the two maps, I didn’t really expect that.

If you -decide- to accept the fairly heavy trigger of a typical metric FAL (the Aussie L1A1 is better)

not to mention the current price of .308 Plinking ammo, you might find the rifles’ character to be interesting.

I’ll take a reliable FAL with iron sights any day over an AR-15 (with a red dot) only partly because of the more powerful .308 chambering.

From my experience with the demilitarized semi only version that I own; no bump stock is needed, hold it limply enough and try to slowly squeeze off a shot, it’s gonna bump fire haha.
I like that patch, I shouldn’t, but oddly I do.

FALs in action, anyone?
"The Siege of Jadotville": true story. Many of the attackers reportedly were mercenaries.

Netflix. This link is just a marketing poster for the movie.

Here's the deal with FAL's - they are fairly heavy and long. Tavor makes a 308 bullpup which is much lighter and far more compact. There are even better 308 bullpups out there like the one made by K&M. When it comes to .308 - a bullpup is the way to go.
