I know esentially nothing about the FAL. I am interested in a .308 carbine, but I am not sure what to expect to spend and where to get it. While the US adopted the M14 I feel the FAL is a better choice. There are alot more FAL rifles in use worldwide than the M14. Even more confusing to me is the Cetme. I am puzzled about this inexpensive rifle often being sold right beside FAL's. The two look so similar. My head hurts.

You want a nice FAL? Go see Derek in Mesa, AZEx Arms. www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=8&f=13&t=198274 |
There are lots of guys in VA that can help you build a decent FAL at a real good price. post in the VA hometown section and someone will chime in for sure. (I know of at least one that is always willing to help but I dont want to "volunteer" him w/o him knowing about it )

I discovered the CETME while shopping for an FAL. I bought the CETME at half the price of an FAL, about $300, and man have I been pleased. VERY fun rifle to shoot and I don't know that there is a better webite for a SPECIFIC type of rifle than www.cetmerifles.com. Great guys and all the help in the world. Never will you see a thread with an issue just sit there unanswered...much like this site. Between Ar15.com and cetmerifles.com, I don't need to look to many other places on-line for forum help and discussion. As with FALs from Century, CETMEs from Century can have problems and you have to be responsible as a buyer and know what to look for....but its really easy. I ended up with a sweet gun and didn't even know CETME's existed three weeks before I bought one. They have a tutorial on that site that will teach you how to shop for one, plus, any questions are answered fast. Now, I still am shopping for an FAL, but the CETME is a nice rifle to have in the collection for sure. Viva El Choppo!! |
