An important consideration.
Which one is your rifle chambered for?
If you built your gun from a surplus kit, you're probably running the 7.62x51mm NATO chamber. There are a lot of kit built FAL's out there not to mention the BM59s, G3s, CETMEs...
My DSA made FAL has a .308 chamber. They mention it several times in the booklet and it's on their web page.
Springfield Armory says "7.62x51mm NATO (.308 Win)." Well, which one?
PTR says ".308 or 7.62 NATO". Does that mean I get a choice?
This also gets me to wondering how many kits were put together with .308 headspace gauges instead of the correct 7.62, because that difference will matter a lot!
