  I have Ar's, FAL's, and M1A's--If I had to grab one and go it would be one of the FAL's.
  But my only answer to a terrible dilemma like this was to get a couple of each.
  If you do go the STANDARD M1A Accessories route, try to find one with a GI barrel
  My 2 cents

  I love my Springfield  M1A. Like you said, you'll get anotherAR15down the road. (like I did) but I really enjoy having an M1A Accessories in my closet. A lot of fun to shoot, no offense - but I thought it was more fun than the FALs that I shot. That's why I chose it.

  AR10, or FAL. Or a rifle bult on one of these forged M14 receivers.

  Get the M1A.
  
  I have a loaded Springfield  that I bought years ago. Never had a problem with it.
  The sights on an M1A Accessories are much nicer than any FAL that I have ever shot.
  I would take an M14 style rifle over an FAL anyday.
  
  As for the mags, you can buy them cheap now that the assault weapons ban is gone.
  
  I am giving serious thought to the LRB arms one with the forged reciever and all USGI parts.
  Sounds like a sweet rifle
  
  Anyhow, start with the Fulton Armory to read up on the M1A:
  www.fulton-armory.com/
  
  Go here to buy M14 mags for cheap:
  www.ammoman.com/
  
  You wont go wrong with Fulton Armory or The Ammo Man.
  Top notch people to deal with

  Aparently not, as the majority so far has recommended an FAL.

  I would go with a FAL. It's a good reliable weapon, and the mags are much cheaper than the M1A. The rifle itself is generally cheaper too.

  If you are going on the cheap, I'd have to say get the Fal.
  
  I own ARs, M1As and Fals. In all honesty, the Fals do just as good a job as the M1As, I just have a thing for the M1/M1A.
  
  My two cents.

  DSA STG58 blows the SA M1A's out of the water in my opinion.
  
  And it even comes with a bi-pod!  -
