I've only owned one G-3 (clone on a crappy receiver) but my brother had an SR9 and I loved to shoot it.
My DSA is a medium contour stainless full length. It's got the pinned muzzle break (from before they simply milled them into the barrel ends) and the carbonfiber freefloat handguard (which I don't see available anymore either). Steyr internals, that DSA extreme duty dust cover/mount and all the rail surfaces were handlapped by the gunsmith who assembled and headspaced it because he took so long in getting it back to me (his wife had a baby, I wasn't going to begrudge him his priorities).
It 's like the rifle equivelant of a fine watch and I'll be unlikely to ever outshoot it.
I was actually selling it but I've decided I just can't bear to part with it.
So some others can go, but the FAL stays.
That's an interesting bit of history, by the way, about Gemany and the license issue. I had no idea, but it's not that surprising. The FAL is a robust design.
