GOOD FAL, Is not much cheaper than your standard M1a. Once you start dumping NM parts into your gun, that's where the price spread starts.
FAL parts are really starting to grow in cost. While some parts are still inexpensive, others(like Bi-pods) fetch a premium.
I am not downplaying the M1a, but the days of "cheap" FAL's are gone. AND, when you figure you can find a SOLID Polytec M14, for below $1000, It further levels the scale.
