Well I finally got one, I've wanted an M1A / M14 type rifle for years. I worked out a mutually good trade and traded off my FrankenFAL straight up for a like new Polytech M14. Not a mark on it, and I know it shoots well since I shot it last year.
There aren't many of these floating around, especially in such beautiful shape. If I feel the need for another FAL they're available everywhere for under $500. Later I may go for a DSA FAL.
I've always preferred the sights on the M1/M14 rifles to any other system I've used. And the sight length suits my eyes better.
The other guy is in love with the STG58/FAL, so it's a win-win trade.
The only down side is the difference in magazine cost, here the FAL wins hands down.
