So with all the reclassification mess, I'm thinking it's time to move to a 308 semi-auto heavy beast since I doubt those will be touched. Does anyone have any real shooting experience with this FNAR 308 LFB.

Questar sells it for 2000$ which I find is a good price for an FN quality 308 in semi auto.

I'm wondering if anyone has any experience shooting it and cleaning it before I drop the 2000$
 
I have one. I consider it a win. It shoots 1 moa as advertised. Trigger is a little heavy and rough so I spent the $100 getting a Trigger Job. Feeds and cycles really well. Build quality is quite good. Doesn't feel like a cheap gun.

The take down more involved but it's not a big deal. You will need a few tools and there are few small parts when you diassemble the rifle. Check out youtube. There might be a take down video for you too watch. Its not exactly a field strippable rifle, but it's not hard to take down if you can use a screw driver.

Is it finicky, meaning does it require a lot of cleaning for it to behave properly? Since the cleaning is a bit convoluted, I might not clean it after each visit to the range.

I'm not the best when it comes to taking care of my guns and I like guns that are not capricious about being dirty.
 
I took mine down when new and haven't cleaned anything except the barrel in over 500 rounds. Working just fine.

I strongly recommend not going the Questar route. You can get them in the range of $1200 out of the States (with the 20 round mag instead of the crappy 10) and then import it through IRUNGUNS. My total cost was $1600 to my door.

It's an accurate, reliable rifle in my experience with it. It also looks better in person than I thought it did from pictures.
 
"...getting a Trigger Job..." Any new commercial rifle requires a trigger job due to frivolous U.S. law suits.
"...$2000..." For a $1000US hunting rifle that pretending to be something it ain't?

Thats the whole point! Due to this reclassification nightmare, I like hunting rifles pretending to be semi autos, instead of automatics pretending to be semi autos that will be hunted down by the gestapo.
 
Same reason I decided to go with a M1A as my main rifle over the AR-15.

M1A doesn't "look" evil, unless of course you make it an EBR.
 
I wish the FNAR was more popular. Someone may come out with some more mods for it. About the only one out there is putting a folding stock on.

I'm waiting (probably hopeless but oh well) for a mod that makes it look like an FAL.
 
Yah I think I made up my mind and I'm going with this rifle, the risks of it being reclassified are pretty low I think. And I have a nice atlas bipod that'll just be perfect on this beast.
 
ive had a fnar for a couple yrs from questar. i found questar to be very reliable quality place to get these type of guns but unfortunately they werent even a little flexible on the price so i also paid1975 plus taxes shipping etc.. wouldnt even give me an extra clip. but anyways its an excelent target rifle just a bit heavy for a hunting rifle.
