So, that's what I'm doing, right from scratch out of a block of aluminum. Once the mag is done, it's getting sent to the RCMP for a legal letter stating I can use it's full capacity, even in my FS2000 :)

Oh my sweet zombie jebus...wouldn't that be something. :)
 
Ok. What am I missing here? 30 round mags? How is this going to fly again? It's a semi right?

A non restricted with 30 round mags would have me happy in my pants, and coughin' up the bucks :)

If successful, it will fly because it's the black letter law being applied.

Magazines are restricted or unrestricted in capacity based on the firearm they are designed or manufactured for us in.

If a new mag is designed and manufactured for use in a pump action firearm, there is no capacity limit. If that mag also happens to fit the AR-15 etc, it's still a mag for a pump action firearm.

10-4. I figured it was along those lines but the way it was put seemed that there would be mags coming from the factory. I see he has a plan though ;) . I will be getting on that boat if it sails though:)

Interesting!
That I didn't know. :)
 
Hate to admit it, but the FS2000 is starting to grow on me! Who'd a' thunk it??? Any idea what the landed cost of one of these will be/is??

They are runnin' around $2200USD so even if someone where to start importing them regular, well do the markup math, I'll guess around $3000.
 
I don't quite understand how the 30rnd AR compatible mag will be legal, but if there's a loophole I'm missing that can be exploited I'm all for it. I thought semi-auto center fire rifles were limited to 5 round mags, but I've been wrong before.

You need to re-read my post above.

The hi-price isn't an issue for me at the moment since it'll keep its value easily...I'm officially getting a Non-Restricted one whenever they get here..
 
Anybody think about the looks you'd get carrying one of these non-restricted models with the 18.6" barrel (if/when FN makes them) in the woods going after Coyotes?:D That'd be worth it just to see some of the crusty old-timers with their battered old bolt guns watch as you haul out your "space gun" and proceed to tramp across the bogs, or better yet, see some of the b'ys up in Labrador go Caribou hunting with one!:eek: :D
 
Well folks, THEY'RE HERE! AND consecutive serial numbers!! How friggen sweet is that!!?!?

They DO have a bolt hold open (unlike the PS90), and the little black thing behind the sight rail flips up to expose the chamber so you can clear jams, check if the chamber is empty, etc. The rear sight is flip up, the front is quick detach. There is an ejection port dust cover (like the PS90). There are a total of three mag releases on the gun, see if you can spot them all :)

Now... if it just wasn't so ugly. I shoulda had them dyed black before I brought them in ;)

I'll have lots of action videos and pics and stuff tommorow after the EESA "bring your evil gun to work day" :D

(P.S. I just got my Level 2 (1.1) fireworks certification, and class 1.1 explosives manufacturing license. Look out!)
