Hold out for an Eagle Arms AR-10. It's the bargain version of the Armalite AR-10.

Much better option.

I know nothing about their AR clone receivers, but I do know that their FAL receivers are not respected much in the FAL community. In fact, many FAL smiths won't even touch them. That reflects upon their other guns. I took a look at http://www.hessearms.com and my latest Federal Arms catalog. Looks like that Hesse HAR-25 is running $1200 and the "modified FAL" mags are $45 each. Personally, I think you could do better in several directions. Not only does the rifle seem "iffy" since it's an AR-10 (even Armalite can't get them to be 100% reliable) and moreso that Hesse makes it, but also those mags! Your only supplier is Hesse, and they're expensive! Regular metric FAL mags are $8 each! Even USGI M1A mags can be bought for $31 each.
Get an Armalite AR-10 for only a few hundred more...it would be worth it, I think. Lifetime warrantee. Very accurate, and if it's breaking, you cna send it back.
Get an AZEX Arms or DSA built FAL for about $1200. Or get an Entreprise rifle for around $900. All these options carry a lifetime warrantee. Definately nice rifles and more reliable than an AR-10 anyway, although they might not be sub-moa accurate.
Get an M1A or build an M14 for yourself. You'll be $1100 to $1300 into it, and it will be reliable and you can also shoot DCM matches with it. Lifetime warrantees with Springfield and other rifle makers.
Looks like Hesse offers a one year warrantee with their rifles. I think you can tell I'm not crazy about the rifle. However, this is just my opinion. Good luck.

No personal experience with Hesse, but if there is one company that gets almost universal bad reviews it would be them. I have heard complaints about their AK's, FAL's, and AR type rifles. If it were me and my money I wouldn't take the chance.

Their HK clones are even worse. There's a reason why Hesse guns are often referred to as a "Hesse mess".
