TC, if you want another avenue, why not look at the original black gun. The FN FAL in 308. I have built 2 in the past 3 years and I use an STG58 version with a 16 inch barrel for 3 gun matches. They are the cats meow. Mine is very accurate and it's a hoot to shoot. Just shot it today in a CQB match. Gotta love em.
