    I hate reading reviews. You look at the magazine or the professional reviews on a product and most of the time the marks are fairly high on namebrand stuff. The one that she bought gets an overall 8.9 frome the pro's but when you look at the actual consumer reviews it's dismal. Well, I just hope its works ok. Thanks for the vote digrar.

    The problem with consumer reviews is that you're dealing with nuffies who probably ring customer support only to be told to try plugging the power cable in or something equally stupid.

    Just started playing BC2 again, so I bought it for 13 Euros and gave it a try. Looks alright so far. Hardcore mode only, of course.

    Where'd you get it for 289? That's dirt cheap.
    I can't find it cheaper than 339.

    Don't worry! I'm still loyal to the FAL!

    This has one of those cheesy aluminum upper receivers, with the crappy paint. My plan is to get an original style upper for it.
