    This is true.

    The one that got away...

    I've had a few .30 cal semis, including a Garand and a SA M1A. But the one I truly regret letting go of was a German-made HK91 that I purchased new in the early 90s for $500, along with the matching HK bipod and clamp-on scope mount. It wouldn't be the first rifle I'd reach for during a zombie apocalypse, but there is ZERO doubt it would be the first one to pull from the safe to fondle for the same reason as if were a pedigree FAL.

    How I remain haunted by such bad decisions...

    I had to dig the FAL out of the backroom safe for a range trip today.
    Now I have to find my bush shorts and my "Man Among Men" SOF shirt from the '80's.
    Man... my upper thighs are gonna get sunburned.
    Damn I loved the '80's.

    You need the matching neck gaiter to complete your ensemble.

    I don't know what I'm going to do when my Moses Machine Mags finally die.
    He's out of business and top quality FAL mags are getting hard to find.

    Like I’ve told the wife numerous occasions over the past 30 years when I discover she’s used one of my flat bladed Snap-On screwdrivers to open a paint can...”Look, there’s specific tools for that.”

    Not super practical in the days of red dots and variable power optics but still an interesting gun in its own right. It belongs in with talk of FALs, G3s, M1As and the like.

    Since we're talking about .308s, this was at the range the other day. Even the owner seemed to be complaining of the concussion. I'm filing it under "just because you can doesn't mean you should..."
