Hey guys, trying to decide and need some input from those with experience. I really want to get into the FAL game. I know 308 is a bit pricey, but that's not so much an issue.
I'm looking at two local ads for Imbel L1A1 models, both going for 700, including some mags. However, DSA's Voyager is going for 899 at Atlantic. Is there a big difference in quality? I'm mostly an AK guy and I guess I'm asking whether it's like comparing a RAS47 to a Wasr-10/63.
Pic related, one of the ads.
Appreciate the input!

As long as the L1a1s actually have an Imbel receiver, I get that over the DSA.

this thread again?

It would be more along the lines of DDI compared to a Siaga. One is original factory specifications the other is something some dudes state side threw together for the consumer market (then had a ton of issues because they didn't follow the established methods and procedures).
Go for the L1A1 locally. you wont have to pay shipping or tax

thanks, I'd be getting it for 630 which is decent I guess.
>>
>>34666316
This, century l1a1s are known to suck
>>
>>34665749
If you're an AK guy then you'd know to stay the fuck away from Century if you want anything remotely of quality

>>34667272
I'll take what is the Wasr and Pap series for 500, Alex.

>>34666316
you were shooting steel case weren't you?
>>
>>34666492
Also, dont shoot steel case in it. Because of the straight walled case it can have issues extracting under a safe pressure and may OOB or tear the case head off.
I would also stop buy the gunsmith and have the headspace checked just to be safe.

Why is the voyager cheeper than the normal sa58? Its like 500 bucks cheaper
>>
>>34668456
It's used, which is why I'm asking if that's still usually good to go, what obvious alarm bells to look for, etc.
>>
>>34668505
ive been thinking about getting the normal sa58 but they're like 1500. I can't afford to shoot my ptr as it is...
>>
That's /k/ for you: 1% Imbel and 99% Incel.
>>
>>34668456
cast receiver vs forged receiver
also a lot of simplified or removed little features
>>
>>34668596
Seems like you have other stuff to worry about anon.

Have the guy meet you at a gunsmiths and have the century checked out. They can monkey fuck anything. That said, imbel is the best receiver you can get outside of a FN original.
Worst case you have someone rebuild the rifle around the imbel.
If century fucked it up bad. Go with the dsa
>>
>>34672105
thanks man, that's sound advice. Do they usually charge to check it out?
>>
>>34668175
No, Turk brass.
