Re: opinions !
The FAL was used by over 93 countries at one time, and is well known as a superior firearm.
I dont own a DSA, but I have built several FALs, and still own 3..they go with me whenever I shoot rifles...I have shot DSAs a lot, and tho pricey, they are VERY nice.
DSA makes a great product, and thier receivers are especially well known for quality...you wont go wrong buying a DSA FAL.
My FALs are kit guns, Imbel receivers forged and made on FN equipment in Brazil, and utilize Austrian StG-58 parts kits, and DSA US parts...the StG58 being probably one of the best FAL iterations ever made.
my carbine is a serious mongrel Imbel Reciever, StG58 chopped barrel, DSA parts, and Imbel para lower receiver...it works flawlessly.
buy a NF/FAL...yu wont be sorry!

Re: opinions !
I have owned FALS in a few different configurations (sold one to a friend, kept one and had custom work done) .
21" BBL SA-58 Standard Contour
16.5" Izzy Pattern
16.5 Standard Contour
18" Standard Contour with Aluminum FreeFloat Tube done by Rich at CGW
All awesome guns/set-ups. I prefer an 18" bbl for .308 rifles due to the volume and muzzle blast...a break is not needed, the FAL is plenty heavy.
I can shoot chain links in half at 100 yards with my 18" FAL and could when it had a 16.5" bbl on (DSA SA-58).
All in all, a great rifle. More accurate than the naysayers would like to think, VERY reliable (though my custom job was set-up so tight, it did have some teething time). The flimsy front hand guards can get hot on the SA-58 after repeated strings of rapid fire, I prefer the free-float tube or the Israeli type hand guards myself for that very reason.
Great rifles, cheap mags, plenty of aftermarket parts and a huge support forum at www.falfiles.com.
Any questions, just ask.

Re: opinions on semi auto SA-58
I bought a DS Arms SA-58 carbine about three years ago.
It is my favorite weapon!!! Never had any problems with it.
Got it from Lauer Custom Weaponry and had them finish with Duracoat.

If you live near Pittsburgh, you can shoot it.
