I just sold mine a few weeks ago. It was built on an Imbel receiver, using STG58 parts. The barrel had been cut down to 16.5 inches, and even though I've always found FAL's to be to heavy for my liking, this one was not too bad. My reason for selling it was that I wanted a semi-auto 7.62X51 rifle that I could shoot accurately out to say, 500 yards, at least accurate enough that in a SHTF situation, I could hit a car sized target. I couldn't hit worth a dime with the FAL, even at close ranges. Just couldn't see the sights well enough, and the rifle itself didn't appear to be that accurate.
So, I sold it to a friend and bought a Armalite AR-10. Scoped it, and it's accurate enough to do what I want. Have to admit that I've had misgivings about letting the FAL go, but as far as being better armed, I believe I am.
