Really good to see a battle rifle connoisseur out there.

Thank you. I have no report as of yet. My time is limited right now. I'll go break in the barrel Tuesday. I wont have much time to spend with it, Tuesday, either. But at least I'll get the basics taken care of.
I got the
Para Elite Model. I actually had ordered the Para Tactical. I got a hell of a discount so I didn't say a word. Also why it took longer to get I imagine, too. Grin and bare it. I would have rather had a longer barrel and shorter flash hider but what the hell. Mine is an inch shorter and it handles well...from what I've played with it in the house anyway.
My quick analysis is that the gun is lighter and more compact than I had expected. Which is a fantastic thing for my use. I had never put my hands on a Para model. The full size FAL's are heavy. This is, of course, not as light as an M4, but it sure beats the hell out of an AR-10.

You're right. I'm not selling it. I had the opportunity to see the urban in action. It is damn ugly. A friend brought a CX4 Storm to a course painted up with it. However, the stuff actually tricks the eyes enough to make it blend on a scan.
I was sooooo close to canceling this order and going with Robinson Arms XCR 7.62x31. But the FAL is truly what I wanted. No I can go ahead and get that RobArms ;-)
