Dear Guys,
I was just looking at the descriptions/pictures of the new autoloader made by FN. Its called the FNAR. Looks like a beefed up BAR commercial action, but modified to take detachable 20 round box magazines.
The rifle looks great. (but, pretty pricey at $1,400 and up.)
Has anyone handled or shot one of these?
I think FN could double their sales if they offered it with a standard buttstock, without the pistol grip. With a standard buttstock it would probably escape from the definition of an assault weapon, and it would be a true dual-purpose firearm (hunting, and serious protection if ever needed).
The .308 lightweight version looks pretty nice.
I couldn't figure out whether the mags are standard M-14 mags, or a new FM mag.
