| What's the difference between a SA58 and a STG58A? Let's assume both are carbines. |

For practical purposes, the only difference to you as a buyer is about $300. The kits used for the Stg are excellent, the fit and finish are excellent, and the gun itself is excellent. You even get a choice of a Type 2 or Type 1 receiver--as far as I know, all the SA-58's are Type 1. I'm not real wild on muzzle brakes on carbines (my SA-58 carbine is LOUD!), so if you can get the non-functional muzzle device/weight/crown protector (or whatever you want to call it) on the Stg-58A, do that first.

So, there's really no difference between the two? If so, I'll just buy the cheaper one...when I have the money that is. How easy is it to build a kit gun? Do I just buy a receiver thru a FFL and order the parts? Or do I need a smith to put it all together. I haven't ever seen a FAL up close, so I have no clue. About how much would it cost to put together a nice kit gun? |
That link will take you to the Mecca of FAL's. The guys there, many who also post on here, eat, sleep and some of them even have a kinky kinda thing going on with their FAL's. It's a GREAT spot for info on the FN's. Check it out. |
