(Readily available) rifles comparable to FN FAL?

Tactical Imports is scheduled to have these come in sometime next year.

Looks like a weird cross between a Swiss Arms Classic Green and a FAL.

I am literally salivating to get one. By far the closest in look feel, and operation to the venerable old FAL, while entirely mechanically different. Should be a cakewalk to be approved as NR.

M14/M305 all the way!!!

A Polytech M305 with a couple of 5/20 mag's, a Promag Archangel Custom stock, with shipping to the middle of nowhere B.C...JUST OVER $900!! After about 250 rounds down range at up to 400m plus (with iron sites!) with lots more room to play (upgrades/range).....not only will you KNOW you have a great rifle (bang for the buck) but you may just leave your old C1 girlfriend:)

But like a good mistress, she will expect you to spend $$$ on to keep her pretty and work'n like the "sports car' you may want her too. But you wont be disappointed:)

Silver!
 
There's nothing EXACTLY comparable to a FAL for sale in Canada anymore, and while there are other options, one of the most practical is the non-restricted M-14 from China and it's M1A from Springfield for about 4x the price.

If you want a straight line stock and pistol grip, there are actually many options for the M-14, including the old E2 stock, an Aluminum Canadian chasis, and several carbon fibre options from Ingram, also made in Canada by a forum member here. There are a whole raft of American made aluminium chasis with pistol grips too.

The best way for FAL's in this country, is if the Conservatives rescind the OIC that banned them in the first place, and then maybe an importer could bring in some Imbels, DSA's and actual FN made FAL's...if they are still being made in small quantities (come to think of it it's probably out of production, but they probably have more than enough stock for the small number Canadians would actually buy. I'm talking like they probably have more than 20k units sitting in warehouses for the odd customer)
 
I thought semi auto only fn's were being manufactured in the us. Since they presumably passed an atf test would they be allowed here if the oic was quashed.
 
i was aware that springy was also making an fn clone, ( sar 48 or something) but 1) it got named in the sweep of 92
and 2 the design was dropped due to low sales, same as the m1a-a1 bush rifle( read m1aa1- it's got a special flashider/front sight , no bayonet lug and folding stock
whatever doesn't sell well, springfield drops
if that oic ever gets quashed, and things go back to the way they were, you probably still won't see it being a "variant"- remember, there's all kinds of fns out there- isreali, argentinian, palistani, indian, almost everyone in the so-called free world manufactured one at one time save the us
the fn was kind of unique in that it was still restricted back in 92 when the oic was made law, ( the canadian one went restricted back in 75,the imported ones a few years later - bout 82 or so- converted auto, semi,only- doesnt matter- english pattern or metric- still doesn't matter- fact is, if it looks like an fn, it's a prohib- even the 223 version- funny how the g3 and m14 didn't get prohibited until the oic came into force- that was one of the reasons i went with the 14 instead of the fn( they WERE in that container from isreal as well) 10 restricted, 2) mags were hard to come by 3) poorer sights on the fn- thye were either the ladder or disc, and no windage adjustment unless you got a special tool and went up front- the m14 does it all from the back end
 
Looking at that picture, I see two guns that are so dangerous, only some Canadians can own them, and can't shoot them legally.

I see two guns that are so dangerous that they can only be shot at a range.

I see two guns that are so soft and cuddly that anyone with a PAL can take them pretty much anywhere.

Makes you wonder if someone with no knowledge of our gun laws could put the right gun in the right category....

Put the right gun in the right category? No I put them all in the closet with the other 49 I own. :ar15:

Y'all are welcome to come down an' shoot em. I live within a two hour drive of five different shootin ranges built for us by the state of Georgia.

You talkin about one of the ones in the picture? No Dragunov there. It's a Norinco NHM91 (7.62X39) with a longer, heavier barrel (probably from an RPK), 1.5mm AK 47 receiver, Choate stock and a modified FN49 flashider. It's a heavy bastard with a Chinese 75 round drum mag on it. Bought before the ban on Commie Chinese guns here. I'd get a Dragunov myself if I wasn't saving up to get more Garands and a Springer M1A.
