    Shoot both then decide. I enjoy folding stocks so much more on FAL's.

    OP,

    I would also like to throw in the suggestion to see if you can pick up an older DSA STG-58. At least then you know it was built with original Steyer parts, on DSA's receiver. The STG-58 used to be found for a bargain. Although things on that front have most likely changed.

    I recently got to shoot about 20 rounds through a slightly modified Scar H that belonged to a visiting FN Rep. After shooting it I am not sure I would drop $2700 to own one, since I already own an Para 16" STG-58. Beyond the lighter weight and improved iron sights, I really couldn't see the major benefit of spending the extra money even with the "PO-lice" discount. Mind you I have had my FAL before the Scar L/H even existed........

    I'm sure that ultimately the Scar H is a "better" all around rifle and a more accurate beast, but personally, that's not what I wanted the FAL for anyway. I made my choice to buy the FAL because I wanted a tried and true .308 battle rifle. The FAL, G3, and M1A were my choices at the time. I have never regretted owning my FAL, and probably will never let it go.

    That's my 2 cents. As previously stated, YMMV. Here is a pic of mine for your viewing pleasure! My FAL does sport DSA's top rail and quad rail cheese grater.

    Don't see much on 7.62mm rifles any more (probably with good reason), but I find myself asking (almost exactly five years later)...

    Are DSA SA58 FALs any good in 2018?

    I would opt for an original Imbel receiver with an Imbel kit. These would be far better than a DSA and likely cost about the same.
