Its harder to make a reliable 357, coonan 1911-ish magnums have a sweet rep though.

I'm pretty sure Coonan recently started production again

they did, and all reports are good, they even come with the 38 conversion spring.

As to the heavy barrels, the medium contour fal was tested and hit sub moa with match ammo, the standard barrel was a 2+ inch gun. I think a heavy barrel does affect it, say all you want about real world applications and "good enough" but i want the best i can get, especially if i used it in 3 gun or other competitions.

Where'd you get that information?

I have a Chuck Taylor article form 2005 that details little tweeks to give a plane jane fixed stock FN FAL a less than 1 MOA accuracy.

The one big issue i have with the article is that the shot strings are only three shots which is too few for proper statistical accuracy.

Still it does go to show what you can do to improve a Stock FN FAL.

Ill have to check that article....too bad i dont really like chuck taylor.

my sources are fal files, arfcom, and other forums from range reports, and i think the other was a solder of fiction article.
