Finished FG42 Review video

[Ian]

A little while back I posted a teaser video from my review of the new semiauto FG42s being made in Texas...well, the whole video is finished now. It's a pretty awesome rifle:

Been meaning to tell you this for quite a while..........

You do a good job! Appreciate your work, insight and the history lessons.

Verry nice.

 

[Dr.Rob]

That is one exquisitely made and interesting rifle.

Thanks again for a great write up and review.

Couple of questions... How did you feel about shooting it right vs. left handed. Did the magazine's placement hinder your shooting stances at all? And how about the noise? was it substantially louder with that monster brake?

 

[husker]

Awesome.

I was expecting some issues shooting left handed, but there really weren't any. I think these new guns have a different ejection pattern than the originals did, because after 300 or so rounds I didn't have any marks on the deflector.

As for the brake, yeah, it makes a pretty good concussion. Not really noticeable to the shooter, but it's bracing to stand next to.

Neat rifle. Wish I had $5k.
