G3 accuracy is usually exceptional. I've had experience with about 5 (2 my own and three friends' guns), and all easily shot 1.5 MOA, with the SR9T going 3/4 MOA on a regular basis.

Ergonomically, the G3 isn't all that, and it's trigger pull is easily the worst of the lot--unless you have a PSG1 group in it, then it's the best of the lot.

HK91 mags are probably the most durable, but cheap ones are looooooooong gone. G3 mags are still available and pretty reasonable. I prefer the G3; alloy=easy on the back.

Cleaning G3s is no fun. The locking roller recesses are just an iron-clad biotch to deal with. Otherwise, it's no sweat.

I had a NM M1A for a little while. Never shot it enough to really get a feel for it, but I did like it. Cleaning was no fun, but I wouldn't turn down another one...

FAL experience is all second hand. Overall, I'm pretty impressed with them. It'd be my first choice for a new battle rifle, if I didn't have my HK.

AR10. The less said the better.
