[k31]

i am looking for a new semi auto and saw the fal priced around 6 or 700$
what should a be leery about i have heard the are very reliable but also heard the are assembled poorly at the factory?
any insight would be nice especial from people that work on firearms (more then beat on an sks with a mallet)

If it comes from Century, run. They're well known for mixing inch and metric parts. They have no concept of what QC is.
"...assembled poorly at the factory..." Not the original factories.
