Deactivated FN C2

[paratrooper777]

I used C2 and FN C1A1 in CDN Army for 15 years. Loved the rifle FN C1A1.
C1 shot well out o 600 yards at least, unit rifle team at CFSAC with it several years .
Unit Rifle teams often issued new in grease 8L series Rifles .
As for FN C2 in my opinion it was a very bad idea ,NOT a good LMG at all.
rear sight disc (up to 1000 meters) would often break off in field uses making LMG useless .
Not accurate at all even with sights .
Too big and unpredictable of a MG beaten zone.(impact area of hits )
That mag vest bra was very uncomfortable to wear (held I think 5 x 30 rd mags)
and previous post about lack of barrel heat shield correct ,caused a few burned hands .
Folding bipod piece of crap.

One of the most significant shortcomings of the C2 was the lack of a quick change barrel capability, a very notable plus for the BREN. Its good we never had to use the C2 in combat.

Hmmm.. Arsenals sold 100 of them. I wonder where they went?

It's not possible that the registry had a 90% error rate, is it? If so, you don't get much accuracy for a billion dollars.

My Thompson 1928 FA was registered as a Thompson muzzleloader for awhile, until I noticed the error.

I got a paper registration certificate for a Remington Model 700 LEVER ACTION. I suppose I should have put it on the EE with a princely price tag.

As far as proper paperwork for an FA, yup better to help them fix their errors before some pencil neck decides you're the one in the wrong.
