FAMAE 540 FAQ: Why its cool, and you should own one

[Donny Fenn1]

and here a lot of us sit with the original Swiss version in one formerly non-restricted type unable to play (sad face emoji)

I can't for the life of me locate a factory bipod anywhere...

Just for looks? It's really bad, rickety junk. I took mine off on SG550 and only put back when I sold it.

 

[beltfed]

The 540/542 bipod is substantially more sturdy than the original, as equipped 550/PE90 bipod.

Great write-up! great rifle but seeing one in person is rare these days (for me at least haha).

Manurhin made semi auto 308 rifles for the UK market

Do Swiss Arms 550 folding stocks bolt onto the famae 540's?

Intrepid Imports Ltd is bringing some in Nov 2022 - Feb 2023

CSC has the import where it chose to pass the risk on to it's customers by requiring a $1000 non-refundable deposit

ERE Systems & Tactical Imports may also have some.

Did Bratwurst just get banned for literally writing a name?

There may be a few guns left once our shipment arrives as some may cancel out. Other than that it will depend entirely on the government as to whether we bring in mor eshipments.

Oh man!!!

 

[Odd Shot]

It still really burns me up that the P90/Classic Green series is banned but the 540 series is all good.
Makes no sense.

Still kicking myself for not disobeying the wife and placing a deposit

the coolest gun i tried really hard to love but hated...

The solid stock was terrible... I might have loved a folder... but getting a shinner ever range trip sucked.
