| I found a DSA SA58 carbine with an 18 in barrel for $1300. It is NIB. Is this a good price? |
hinking.gif ??!!?! Please show me where I can buy a used sa58 for $500. Are you sure you aren't thinking of some el crappo parts kit?! |

What's wrong with "EL Crapo" kits? Unless the barrel is shot out, they make very good rifles. I've built over a dozen with numerous receiver manufactors (DSA, Imbel, CAI, Entreprise, DCI and Vulcan) and have had only one real problem, and I was able to work it out. And it wasn't the Vulcan! Too much DSA snobbery. Sure, they make an excellent rifle, but you can end up with an excellant FAL and not have a DSA. While building a FAL is a little more complicated then assembling an AR and requires more specialized tools, but its not rocket surgery. There is a great feeling of accomplishment in taking an "El Crapo" kit, cleaning it up, refinishing it, assembling with new parts as required (922r), timing and head spacing and then launching the 1st round downrange. Don't get me wrong, there is some stuff that I wouldn't touch. You have to admit, sometimes you're dealing with stuff thats 40 years old. |

$500 less than $1300 is $800. |
