Ahh, picked up another gun today. This time, a nice FAL .308 with a 20 inch barrel, all black with a bi-pod and 20 round mags. Slightly used, but I got it for the cheap at 700 bucks. Can't beat that, now can you? I dont have pics, as my camera is dead at the moment, but here is what it looks like, minus the collapsible stock.

Anyway, Just thought I'd brag. Probably gonna take it out to the range in July.

I love the FN-Fal. "Right Arm of the Free World." Israelis threw out the howling savages with it, the Australians shot commies with it, British shot Argentinan interlopers with it, and overall, scared the shit out of the Russians.

Too bad its original round was canceled and it had to use the .308, but either way, it's a sweet gun.


:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Nice! I'm thinking about getting a .308 DPMS with my bonus this year.

I will be getting a Dan Wesson Commander on Wednesday though! Link to Commander

.308 will still reach out and touch someone without a problem. Those poor zombies won't know what hit them...when they get closer, I'll switch to my AK and then my handguns. I think a decent shotty will be next...or a BMG. I can't decide.

I don't know yet. A guy I at my work runs a side business building and selling firearms. I'm going talk with him and hopefully go out to the range before I decide what I want. D9Firearms - Darrel, hope you enjoy the free publicity!

There is no need for a gun like that. In fact most guns should be banned, and what can be allowed to be restricted with heavy background checks, with yearly renewals and background checks for owners.

Good thing we have a Constitution that protects us from trolls.

$700 bucks.. what a deal! They sell for thousands on gunbroker.com.

Man I love the .308, but it is oh so pricey (unless you buy the russian junk).

It's probably a CAI (Century International Arms) built FAL. They can usually be found around that price without much trouble.

I really need a .308, just not sure what. Originally I was going to get a JLD PTR but the fluted chambers treat brass like 2 doller hookers. I like the 308 rifles on the AR platform and much like the smaller 5.56 platform theres some aftermarket caliber conversions available.

Decisions decisions.

Anyways, nice rifle. FAL's are a sweet thing. :)

Nice, I picked up a new gun this weekend too, though mine is A LOT smaller than the FAL. I picked up a 2" .38 to ride in the truck with me.

I want to buy a .50 cal rifle one day. No real reason, just to have you know in case the zombies attack. I want to be able to put an alternator sized hole in them if need be.

"Hi, I'm a troll"

So wanting more gun control makes someone a troll. :roll:

Lets face facts, the U.S has the highest murder rate in the modern world.
There are over 30,000 gun deaths each year in the U.S.
Clearly our lax gun laws are NOT working.

Please tell me how a gun like the OP posted every be necessary. A lower powered handgun could defend your home just as well IMHO.
