[RobMoore]

I'm boycotting dutch ovens.

Actually,as the current owner of a Mercedes C230K and the previous owner of a 300, a 325 BMW as well as a couple modern VW's I will say that German automobiles in no way equal the quality of German firearms.I would not recommend that any of my friends purchase a used German car or indeed a new one unless they understand that there will be more issues than a Japanese or domestic option.Then again,I love my Land Rover too and it's downright horrible

That aint anything new either. German cars have been that way for a while. I've Owned BMWs, am Currently working on a MB, and drive a Honda.

Glad nobody's piling on.


I haven't bought an FN for a week now.

(psst, the PS90 and FS2000 are NOT made in the US)

Ok..."assembled" in the US or whatever they do to make it a "domestic production" rifle. Because in the configuration they are in, they sure aren't "importable."

Browning worked for Winchester in his day - until, IIRC, they didn't want to take his Auto-5 shotgun. Then he went off to FN.

Nowadays, FN's doing a booming business - supplying weapons to the US military, and it's now bought Winchester, which was doing poorly.

Poetic justice, anybody?

Boycott FN? I like FN. I'm especially a fan of the M249.

German's build junk?

That's news to me.

But I'd rather go without than stuff money into the pockets of FN, who's simply capitalized on the greed of U.S. corporations by selling out to the Euro's.

Anyone in favor of a boycot of FN?"

I love my Citori's??? Real Brownings were made in Belgum, not Japan. If post 1964 Winchesters were as good as Pre '64, and cost more, Winchester would have sold more and might not have gone out of business.

No, I will not even consider boycotting FN. FN is a great manufacturing company.
