FAMAE Update

[Tactical Imports]

We finalized our order as of about two weeks ago. Unfortunately finalizing took much longer than anticipated.

However we decided to wait until production has started before taking anybody's money; we don't want to hold onto anybody's money longer than we have to.

Our ETA is about March-April as it stands. We'll probably look at contacting people for deposits around Feb.

Good news is that we should be gretting our semi-only SG 542 sample for RCMP review with this shipment. Pricing will be around the 2500-3000 mark whenever we get approval.

So the SG is not only in 7.62, its cheaper than the 5.56 version? I like where this is going. Any info on the .30 Carbine version?

Soooo.. What do these look like...??? Sorry if I sound like a newbie...

 

[driller212]

umm if those SG 542's end up being non-res, that is pure awesome and I want one!

 

[TSE JR]

That would be great!

 

[bbartsch]

Sign me up for a 542.

Definitely interested in the SG 542.

Does the order in the OP have the SAF mags in it?
And super good news on the 542 as well...

Personally, I have never seen one of these rifles up close. Does anyone know if this rifle takes FN or M14 magazines? They look quite familiar.

Thanks.

Dear God let them in!

Mmmm non-restricted and unregistered SG 542's

Any idea if the configuration will be exactly as shown on the FAMAE web page? Or will we be able to get flat top models? This is great news any which way though.

I'd love to take this moose hunting...the rest of my party would poop themselves when I uncased it!

 

[Zerex]

Anyword on the CT 40's?

 

[Boomer686]

Cool! Thanks for the update.

Awesome news, but i was just looking at the SG542 barrel length and its listed as 18.3inches. Is this gun going to have a longer barrel or will it have to be a range only gun because of .2 inches. If this is going to be non-restricted than definitely put me down for one.

I will definitely get one of these from you in the future if they are non-res.
