Ah but you see, communism was the best. You could buy ten commie block rifles for the price of one American rifle back in the day. Arm your whole block. Strength with economics lol. Communism is just capitalism centralized.

The other thing about FN FAL is that they last forever

I was using FN FAL from the 1950's in the 1980's

You can hand a FN FAL down to your great grandson and beyond.

Meanwhile I've broken a few AR's, and I even had one blow up on me on the range.

AR is like a toy gun. FN FAL is built to last.
Never had that experience.
I have a lot of experience.
Breaking weapons. No thanks.

Most people are incapable of harming mosin nagants. They designed them for peasants that would alternately use them to fuel bon fires, chuck them as spears, or use them as hammers.

They jumped the price up of mosin nagants 3 fold since I bought mine. I think euroblock is finally running out of century old rifles.
I don't think it is a supply side it is a demand side thing. I love my garbage rod.

Speed, violence and aggression happens, AR's are like toys, they break all the time.

AR's are actually junk to be honest. It's designed for the military to be mass produced cheaply.

Could be. A lot of people are just now finding out about 7.62x54r that you can buy a pallet load of for a week's pay.

I like the fact it doubles as a pike. With bayonet attached it's nearly taller than me. And it doubles as a flat head screwdriver.
