ere systems and famae 542 support.

Where did you get the case? seems pretty nice for the gun Looks like you did good job mounting the scope What size rings did you use?I will be putting a Leuopold scope on my 542 scope is Mod 1 20mm 1 inch it is AR model but not concerned about the difference . Only will be shooting at 100 yds anyway Do not have the gun yet but purchased one.

That's one of the reasons I sold my SG542. Replacement parts were relatively expensive and you had few options to source them. Mine was the least reliable semi-auto I've owned so far....It loved to FTE or stovepipe (gas setting didn't matter) and the factory magazine follower liked to occasionally bind up causing feed issues. Which I wouldn't care if the 542 mags weren't $105....and my upper and lower had a pretty pronounced rattle to it after about 200 rounds, and it absolutely destroyed brass. It's possible mine was a lemon, I really loved the idea of the Famae rifles, they just fell short on execution unfortunately.

I don’t suppose you put it on consignment with CSC, did you?

I bought a used one on discount and it wouldn’t run due to the gas block and regulator chock full of carbon.
Once cleaned it ran like a champ.
My biggest b!tch with them was the gouging price of mags, and parts. None of which was in control by the importer or retailers apparently.
Once I got over the price of mags, the rifle at $2k is worth it imho.
The sight block doing double duty as the gas block doesn’t do accuracy any favours, but that can be fixed with a low optic.

I ended up trading it to someone in Edmonton, spent a lot of time cleaning the gas system to rule out any sort of carbon issue. As much as my experience was bad, I would own one again for the right price:p
 
I paid $2100 off the ee for mine which came with the factory bipod, rail, and 5 mags. I bought a Famae folding stock for it and a spare parts kit when they were available. Love the gun, reminds me of an HK 91.
 
Whats the status of this rifle in relation to the Swiss Arms? Will this potentially suffer from re-classification as well?
