well...it looks cool, anyway

Its pretty sad when people who were trained to fight for their country with this rifle cant even own one. I guess you were responsible enough then but you aren't anymore so you cant have it!

what a crock.

I guess you can at least say you have fired it. I dont have that.

There's a lot of stuff that I was responsible enough to own at 19, 20 21 - but now that I'm middle aged I can no longer be trusted with. The only one I really miss is the FN.

As opposed to countries where everyone has Manditory military service and then Keeps their issued weapons to defend the country. :eek: Must be nice!
 
yeah no kidding we were talking about all the FN s that went off to the smelter just sunday on the range .......the conversation started when one of our teams new shooter asked me if FNs were restricted :(
 
My ex Military friend would love to own an FN now, as he trained with one and took the sniper course with one as well...I had to explain the 'prohib' thing to him. :(

Thats friendly....:confused:

Perhaps I should post Nothing...

Ya know...2 years ago ANYONE could shoot/handle/see this stuff

The Gov changed all that...not me.....what have YOU done about it???
 
Being that I am not trusted with this kind of thing either, I lack knowledge in this area. So I have a question for those 'special' people who do have them.

How many diff manufacturers were there of these and what were the markings like on each?

I ask because a store friend bought one to dewat and I had a look at it to see if there were any markings, and there wasn't much except what looked like part or drawing numbers in certain spots. No manufacturer or factory marks.
