I'm contemplating selling my rifle, a Professional Ordnance (http://www.professional-ordnance.com) Carbon-15 Type 97 rifle. It's an AR-15 variant that weights 3.9 pounds, empty, made out of space age carbon fiber. The weapon in question has had about 500 rounds put through it, and I have three 30 round and 7 20 round pre ban magazines, in varying condition. (the 30 rounders are all new) It's fitted with an Ultra Dot variable intensity red dot sight. I like this rifle, and it really performs well with surplus Nato ball ammunition.
However, recently I've been finding myself wishing for something with a little more oomph. Being a college student, my budget is limited, and I honestly can't afford a new rifle without selling my old one. I have a .45 with a 4" barrel for home defense, so that's not an issue. I'd like to get my hands on something in .308, semiauto. I understand my choices are limited to the M1A, the FAL, the G3, and the AR-10. I've ruled out the AR-10, 'cause magazines are impossible to get. The G3 is probably out of there too. If I get a FAL, I can get magazines, either inch or metric, from Federal Arms for a good price. Same goes with the M1A.
So, which should I pick? Suggestions
