[QUOTE="SevenSixTwo, post: 1070279, member: 11463"] I was in the same boat as you a while ago. Whatever you will save on the Saiga over the FAL you will spend ten times over in magazines (they are even more expensive that M1a magazines!). The saiga will work, but at its heart is just an AK. You will essentially have an AK with a very expensive diet. Get the L1A1, I own one and it is an awesome rifle. Very gentle recoil, fun to shoot, easy to carry with the right sling, and any kind of aftermarket accesory you want can be had from DSA. The only thing I would change about my L1A1 is that bloody british flash hider! That thing is like 7 inches long! Simply have a gunsmith replace it with a steyr short flash hider from falcon arms (or a more modern vortex flash hider) and you are golden. Oh yeah, and magazines are like 14 bucks a pop over at JG Sales. As far as CETME goes, unless you are an amature gunsmith, or want to learn how to be one, the run as fast as you can in the other direction. :bolt: [/QUOTE]
