Hey gang, galilfag here, anyone have a 16 or 18" fal who has input on if they wish theyd gone with the other? im looking at selling my imbel rifle to a friend of mine to buy a para fal. Im stuck between 16 and 18" barrel. The 16 looks way better but ive heard they have reliability issues related to gassing and that the muzzle flash is absurd. I have a 16" scout rifle (picrel) and i can attest to the muzzle flash, but i haven't really heard consistent answers one way or the other on reliability. Just looking for some input before i get one. If anyone in new england happens to have either one and doesnt mind letting me throw a few mags through it email me at Galilfag@protonmail.com. Ill bring the 308 galil to sweeten the pot lol.

patricians taste in rifles. I have a bunch of guns, FALs, galils, ars, aks, etc. Ive still hiked with my trusty ruger scout rifle more miles than all of them combined, Probably past 500 miles with that guy.

Hello fellow ex buffalonian, currently sipping on my reserve stock of loganberry i keep. Picrel from a camping trip on the east otto state forest. Great public land for shooting and larping. The granite state was the move though.
