AR-15's just get better press than the FN-FAL sad really.

If the FAL didn't have an import ban on its parts in the United States, it'd be more popular. There's also the issue on the caliber, 7.62x51 is more expensive with heavier recoil and a smaller magazine capacity than 5.56x45

The Tavor X95, however, you can even buy in Canada.
