I’ve wanted a FAL for a long time, but there is no place around here to shoot a rifle caliber. A couple of private ranges 40 miles away but a waiting list to join. Well, a friend just told me he has a big
spread in Washington with a hillside, and he shoots his AR there. Neighbors? They are out sitting there too. Legal? His neighbor is a cop and shoots there too. Me? Sure dude, come over any time. Hmmm.

After having shot a couple of standard FAL's and a Para folding stock FAL, I would highly recommend the standard stock, unless you have a real need for the Para folding stock. As I mentioned earlier in this thread, the Para stock makes the rifle very difficult to shoot. You simply cannot attain a decent cheek weld on that stock. The relatively thin piece of bar stock, or wire, or whatever you want to call it that comprises the "comb" is just too low and too thin. At best, you can press the side of your chin up against it, which is not only uncomfortable, but does nothing to steady the rifle.
