Mine has never jammed and is very accurate. If anything happened, I would still grab my L1A1 first. Just MHO.

I believe that you are comparing apples and oranges. The M-14 has been out of production for decades. The semi-automatic civilian variant, the M-1A is made by Springfield Armory, and yes, it does cost about a grand, but it is brand new, not rebuilt.
Go score a new FAL and it'll run the same price.
