Mine would have to be either an HK23e (think HK 54 but beltfed) or an As Val.

A VAL/VSS would be up there if this grail gun wish comes with ammo as well.

I'd also love a FAL but every time I look I can't justify the expense when an AR-10 will be better at everything at a fraction of the price. I'm also really interested in an Urutau once the print files are released, and really any 3D printed firearm.

My gateway "grail gun" (i.e., first gun and start to a very expensive hobby) was an AK, ended up going with a Yugo M70. Beautiful rifle and have had almost no issues with it. Just hoping 7.62x39 goes down in price soon(TM)

At this point the only hope for a VAL/VSS seems like if PSA comes out with one like they did with the stg. 44 clone.

There's a lot of really cool 3D printed designs being worked on now, it's like a renaissance for home gun design. If you're keen on the Urutau I'd keep an eye on the AR-15 Bullpup (creative name) it's one of the cleanest conversions I've seen.

Unfortunately I don't think 7.62x39 is going to move much in price soon. The prices it used to have were the product of cheap imported ammo. I believe that someone is supposed to start producing domestic 5.45x39 soon so maybe it'll fall down closer to .223 or 7.62x39 prices. Realistically probably closer to .300 blkout.
