I've recently begun to notice them to a greater extent, and realize how nice their variety is. Prices are pretty brutal though, ie can't afford till I have that high paying engineering job and have paid off a morgtage and bought my dream truck and all.

But I wonder what opinions there are on the worth of the different varieties. I'm eyeing the ones on both ends of the spectrum: The 16" stainless carbine and the 24" (or is it 26") heavy barreled target version.

Specific questions:
1.) Is the stainless carbine really as durable and beautiful as it looks? And is it all stainless, or just the barrel, receiver, and cover?

2.) Is the long, heavy barreled version competetively accurate for the price, compared to, say, the AR-10?

3.) And how do these models compare to the base DSA FAL that can probably be had for under $1k?

I might develop an addiction here, I also want two cheaper FALs to play with.
