FAL's are simple and reliable, but do your self a favor and learn the details before buying one. If you get a typical "FrankenFAl" all is not lost, you will just be very frustrated before you get it right. I love all of mine and I have some very Franky ones, but only because I took features from 4 countries to get them all on one gun (sites, mag release, folding trigger guard etc)
Good luck and let us know what you get.
