hello high road, I just posted my first collection pic a little while ago(http://thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=312254), let me first say, I just graduated the unit level armorer's course, and now am proudly the unit armorer for my unit
, its been a long fight, trying to get this position since coming back from deployment downrange last year, just needed more involvement in the weapons field, its a passion, i know some understand , but anyways my collection is simple and practical , not ultra tactical as so many people are hung up on. Now my SAR 1(7.62x39) is what it is , a Kalashnikov , simple, reliable and effective have a hunting/target rifle, my savage 110 in 30-06, and a simple shotgun,mossberg maverick 12 gauge, as well as the handguns.But I need/ want a main battle rifle, and my heart is set on a FN-Fal ,dsa carbine length with fixed stock and may be with a simple red-dot that will be it , but as I look around at the various shops around here and on many sites on the Internet, the M4/M16/AR-15 reigns as king or so it appears, like today , my ak trigger group came apart at the range today, was put in wrong, by me, but I walk into a shop and ask do you do any work on AK's his response was , why dont you " upgrade" to an ar, I got angry , I dont know why but my heart is set on 308, but this store sells M1a's , and HK-91 copies but no mention of them, just the ar's, what am I missing, am I one of the few would love the idea of a fn-fal 308 backed up by a glock 45acp instead of a ar-15 and sidearm of choice(beratta,1911.etc) just curious, I guess its just taste, just would like to get some feedback, opinions sorry if i got a little long winded but you all have been helpfull before, so I know Im in the right place
