Heh. Overpriced? Absolutlely, but why kick open a door when you can just shoot through the wall? The SOCOM is 16" of .308 goodness that turns cover into concealment for CQB encounters throughout the world.

I know you've all be been waiting patiently to see what I chose. I decided on the FAL- an Entreprise STG-58 carbine to be specific (from here: http://www.atlanticfirearms.com/storeproduct458.aspx).
Take a look:
Just picked it up this week and it's about what I expected- not a DSA, but very solid. Haven't taken the opportunity to fire it yet- not sure about where you are but a little chilly & snowy around here. I've found a couple of pretty good deals on mags so have stocked up on those.

Congrats!!
I think you'll like it. Now, for the next question...are you going to leave it "open sights", or are you going to scope it?
Let the accessorizing begin... ;)

If you're wanting to put some glass on it, take a look at the DSA scope mount. I put one on my STG58 and it was really easy (though I would recommend buying DSA's hex head screws because the flat head screws that come with the scope mount strip easily - and don't forget blue loctite when you install it ;)). Congrats on your purchase; let's see a range report once you get a chance to take it out!

WOW..... you got it from atlantic from Dec 2. and received it already? I put a EGW Dustcap replacement no set screws to mess with just slide out the orginal dustcap and the other slides in its place did you place an earlier order or did they ship it that fast...? none the less congrats on the new toy...
