Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
That's another idea, but I've heard from others that it might be best to buy new for your first FAL. Since I wouldn't know what to pay attention to for potential problem finding when buying used.
FWIW I've never bought one new. The main thing you want to look for is the condition of the bore. If that's good, it's doubtful there are any problems that can't be fixed easily.Originally Posted by B-Ry
If you want to buy one new, more power to you. But I have owned a decent number of FALs, and this is just the approach I think is best. Either way good luck, and prepare your safe for more of them because they're addictive.
I just picked up my new DSA STG58 last week. I paid $945 + shipping + tax.
It's a nice gun and the workmanship is first rate.
How long did you have to wait?
Dave oredered it for me on 02/11/09. I got it early September. Almost 7 months.
Where did you order it from? Specialty Sports had one when I called a while back, but it was around twice that cost.
The STG-58 is the Austrian military version. It's much less expensive than some models of the SA-58.
If Specialty Sports was asking $1800+ for an STG-58, they're on crack. SA-58...maybe.
I ordered mine from a local dealer, Dave Mitchell, in Pine. Even with the "we've been friends a long time" pricing, I think this gun has an MSRP on DSA's site for $1200.
