    Bought a DSA STG58 just after the ban ended, so mine doesn't have any "ban" features. Gas adjustment ring broke in pieces within a few days of ownership; DSA sent another ring and said it was "heavy duty", no further problems in 17 years of ownership. Mine loves M160 frangible bullets, and they are easy on the bore. Trigger's always had a bit of a not smooth pull, but I'm used to it. Got a whole parts kit and a couple more STG58 bbls which I'll probably never need. Reminds me: I need to take it shooting again.

    The FAL was my favorite rifle for a long time. That's waned a bit in recent years but I still love them. Owned an Imbel for a little bit before I hit a rough spot a few years ago - sent her down the road to cover the bills. Still miss it and certainly wouldn't mind having another one.

    I bought a DSA Israeli Officers model a couple years ago when first introduced. I've had it in every configuration......original wood furniture, black polymer, even a DSA scope mount with an lpvo. I've enjoyed it thoroughly but it might be time to try something else.

    I might be interested in taking a closer look at your Officers model when you get ready to let her go... Here's a side by side comparison. The Officers model is on bottom. Very nice finish on those

    Had 3 at one time. One of my biggest regrets is trading away a 16 paratrooper all matching Imbel on an Armscorp receiver. It was so boring to shoot 1 hole groups at a 100 yds all day. Jeez I'm a jackass.

    my german G1 Clone was my first expensive purchase when I graduated college! All parts are german except the wood and the imbel receiver it was built on.
