I am a bit late to the party on this thread but if I could have a do-over, I would get an AR-10 instead of the FNAR I have. I shoot my neighbor's DPMS and I find it as accurate as my FNAR. FNAR mags run about $60 from CDNN, so I don't have as many as I would like. As mentioned by several others, dis-assembly and re-assembly of the FNAR is fairly complex, especially compared to an AR, and this is my main source of dis-satisfaction. If you get too much stress on the guide rod on re-assembly, the FNAR becomes a very heavy single-shot rifle, whereas the AR is pretty foolproof. And getting the bolt out of the receiver and then back in, I don't even like to think about it. If you don't mind removing screws, punchng half a dozen pins and making sure the mag release spring stays in place, all the while using strong language, then the FNAR might be yoiur choice.
