Got my Olympic Arms Plinker today!

Greatus Ferritus (MO),

I've got several friends that have bought or build FAL/L1A1 and they swear by them. Rhodesian fella had plenty of experience with them and G3's and given the choice would take the FAL over the G3 any day (HATED the G3)['course my MA instructor loves the G3 {blonds/bruenetts/redheads}]. New weaver rail upper covers for the FAL/L1A1 allow any sort of sight use and give great rigidity and return to zero. While not a sniper rifle, the FALs are great battle rifles capable of reaching out with a "enough" bullet. I went with a semiauto M21 set up instead (completeing my U.S. 20th century MilSurp collection), but am tempted to FAL just to fit in;) .
 
I finally had some time to take the Oly out and play. After a good cleaning it performed a little better than before, and I guess I can't really gripe since it was only $500. However, I took a good friend of mine that happens to be the police chief, and he offered me my money back. I accepted. I think I will either put some cash with it, and have one built, or possibly order a new Springfield M1A synthetic. A buddy of mine had an AR built from a smith on AR15.com, and I did the transfer for him. He says it is very accurate, but I haven't had a chance to shoot it. Any thoughts on this?

I really do appreciate all of the advice that you guys have given me.
