I got the chance to fire a FAL. I LIKE the gas system. I could get back on target quicker! It recoils a little less. I like the way it breaks down to clean.
I will own a FAL some day. it might be the 2nd or third rifle down the line that I pick up.
Next rifle will be a M1 Garand made by International Harvester.
I do not have a AR-15 that's together. I have a receiver but I really should build that up. ( but that means that I would need to stock another round. It's not in my plan right now)

Jim, that's an interesting comment about the recoil. My experience was that the FAL had much worse recoil than the M1-A when shooting them back to back. I tried all kinds of different settings and still couldn't get it to be as pleasant to shoot as the M1-A.
Everyone, both rifles and people, are different though.
