Between buying an AK-74, here,or finishing my T48 FAL clone  I just sent the money order out for a custom H&R marked enterprise receiver, and I've got most of the unique parts I'll need to build it. However, I'm getting some project fatigue on the FAL, and kinda bummed as I don't have the tools/knowledge to do all the work on it like I would a Garand or AR, and it will be a long ass time before it comes to fruition.

To put it in another perspective, cost wise, I've got about $700 in the FAL so far, and would be looking at at least another $700 to get it finished, probably sometime next year. The AK would be sub $400 delivered to my FFL with his fee, then AIM has cheap ammo and mags, and I've got a coupon and credit at midway for an arsenal od stock set that basically make it free. I'm kinda wanting to sell the FAL kit, then buy the AK and a shit ton of ammo and mags. The FAL would be really really cool, and kind of one of a kind. Plus, as of right now, the only 30 cal rifle I have is my Krag.

Still another perspective:

Finish what you have already started, you'll be glad you did when you have the FAL put together.

I really want an AK74, but that FAL looks sick with the wood stock epecially. An d i think you'll be more satisfied with building the gun yourself.

at the arms room!

A functioning rifle is infinitely more useful than a non-functioning rifle. Buy a Saiga, convert it yourself, and have fun.

Think of how deeply satisfying it will be to finish the FAL.

Very well. I think I'm gonna do both while the AK is on sale, and when my garand sells, I'm ordering the repro fancy walnut fal stock set(handmade), staining it, and having it stamped with the correct cartouches.

God help me.

Your FAL looks complete. The AK balances better and the ammo is cheaper if that helps.
