Of course they've been to the range, that's the FIRST thing any of us would do!! Now, if the range report proved MOA or 2moa, it would have already been posted with nice clear big pictures... I know this thing is built like a tank and it's very reliable and I trust what some people say about it BUT why isn't there any bragging about it's accuracy?
Hands on with the FAMAE 542

What other dealer is selling them ?????????
The classic green Swiss, made for the retail market, is very 'refined' due to the retails buyer demands. Military issue however are a whole different kettle of fish. You could take that famae as is and make it look as finished as the classic green and have no affect at all on the function of the rifle. Some want it to look pretty others are happy it works good.

The rifles SAN sells to police and military pretty much like the ones they sell to civilians. No difference in quality.
There is exactly one prototype rifle in Canada. It is available for use at Calgary Shooting Centre. Drop in and give it a try.
FWIW any accuracy results effectively mean nothing. This is a prototype not a production barrel. It is a service rifle not a target rifle so it certainly isn't being promoted as an MOA capable rifle. Anyone expecting it to be a long range target rifle will likely be disappointed. Having said that, FAMAE uses good quality hammer forged barrels and the guns should all be capable of 2MOA with good ammo.
Gotcha, Thanks for the explanation!
I want the 7.62 in green, Beautiful looking beast.

There ya have it 
I haven't done any accuracy or distance shooting myself.
I was on a number of US forums when they were first getting their Tavors, and one of the things they kept talking about was: "We don't understand why the Canadians are so obsessed with 1 MOA accuracy. Must have something to do with their tiny mags?"

"Only Accurate guns are interesting" T.W.
I don't think i'm the only one that keeps dreaming that one day, someone will import a non-restricted 223/308 accurate semi for the LR crowd. I'd be buying an AR15 and AR10 tomorrow if I could them legally in a dynamic environment. Ranges are boring.
Hope springs eternal

They are obsessed with MOA as almost all are range guns, which shoot at small targets. It's a behaviour thing. The challenge on most ranges is to shoot small groups. Same goes for pistols, most talk is about accuracy and light triggers to help accuracy.

Interesting.
I wonder if we could get a stock like this for either the rifles or sub-guns?

Lol, I was about to start linking photos. It is definitely different. Kindof an odd offset to it though?
Exactly what I was thinking, the tubed folder ruins the look of the rifle. Really like the look of the full stock and a folding adapter would definitely give the rifles more versatility. For those vain individuals like myself.
