But, this time around, it has a much better background.....  :o
"I expect perdition, I always have. I keep this building at my back, and several guns handy, in case perdition arrives in a form that's susceptible to bullets. I expect it will come in the disease form, though. I'm susceptible to diseases, and you can't shoot a damned disease." ~ Judge Roy Bean, Streets of Laredo

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

Were you talking about somewhere other than this form, just curious? I didn't see anyone here say anything about handling one or any mention of Cabela's. It looks like a good idea but I'm a lefty so unless they made a reversed version it would do me know good.
Sorry, I posted the Cabela's comment in the wrong thread -

I don't know about a lefty version, but Sgt. Cabral is a hell of an armorer; I'll bet if you contacted him through his website he might have a solution for you.

I read the Blue Press write up, it sounds like the real deal. I'd be interested in a lefty version but would have to sell a couple things to fund it.

$2000-2500 for a major caliber battle rifle that handles on par with an M4, at a similar pricepoint as any piston AR or nextgen 556 MBR???

It is a solution, if true. 

I had been waiting for someone to make an ergonomic FAL, but this may work too.

Is the display stand included for that price?

I swear sometimes I sympathize with Bane. Maybe its just me, but after playing with P90S's, AR platforms and everyone favorite FAL I still snap in with my synthetic stocked M1A. Everyone complains the ergo's are from a bygone era and I will be the last to argue a speed advantage but at the end of the day I shoot darned well with an old tired stock design.
