FN selling civilian FNC

[zach13168]

I e-mailed FN to thank them on the upcoming rifles available to us, and I also asked them if an FNC would also be available and this is what they said:

"As I understand it FN will be releasing the, P90, F2000, and eventually the SCAR to the civilian market in the U.S.. First let me say that this is a great thing your company has done, and that I plan on purchasing many of your fine products.
My question is if you are planning on releasing the FNC to the U.S. civilian market."

REPLY:
Fact! Ball Park on Retail $2000.00.

FN is becoming our new demi-god... Where is that drooling smiley at?

 

[Telperion]

Old and busted: HK
New hotness: FN

 

[Gunsnrovers]

While I won't be able to own any of those as long as I'm in the PRK, I did my part to support FN when I bought one of their HP's earlier this year.

Enjoy all the FN chocolatey goodness.

$2,000?! $2,000?! Good grief! Do they really expect to sell semi-auto FNCs for $2,000?

 

[jeff-10]

if retail is 2k the actual price will probably be less.

 

[c_yeager]

$2,000?! $2,000?! Good grief! Do they really expect to sell semi-auto FNCs for $2,000?

Considering the price of fully ninjafied AR-15s i have ZERO doubt that they can and will sell all that they can make at that price.

 

[Commissar Gribb]

oh man, I need one of these!

I too purchase an FN HP earlier this year.

 

[ziadel]

a three way comparison, between the FNC, the SCAR, and the XCR would be an interesting read....

 

[Kodiak AK]

FN Sear prices are going to go thru the roof . Considering ORF is Selling sear ready clones for $2500 they could easily get more for the real deal .

Dang . Need to get a sear while they are still in the 3 K range .

 

[jobu07]

$2,000?! $2,000?! Good grief! Do they really expect to sell semi-auto FNCs for $2,000?

Damn straight they plan on selling some at that price! I'll be saving my pennies!

 

[buzz_knox]

Well, there goes my bank account.

 

[chopinbloc]

okay, i'm confused will they be offering p-90?

 

[PMDW]

Yes. We've already got them on order.

 

[ny32182]

An FNC would be tempting. Does it take AR mags?

...I spend too much on guns already.

 

[PMDW]

Yes.

 

[Sylvilagus Aquaticus]

just a FYI, PMDW...

yer site's busted.

FNCs take regular AR15 mags and... Beta C goodness.

I'm going to be getting one for mine as soon as I can afford. If you plan on doing the FNC sear conversion thing you'd better hop on the boat. Prices are approaching $3500-4000 now for sears and installation by Curtis Higgins costs another $600.

 

[Dionysusigma]

So what's the order of release and dates for the P90, the F2000, and the SCAR?

 

[Master Blaster]

I can build (putting an upper and a lower of my choice together) with little effort a 16" M4 clone for $700, and a great varmint AR for $900, my varmint shoots .3 moa 5 shot groups, the M4 is quite accurate as well.

Why would I want to spend $2000+ for a FNC that shoots the same round but probably not as well???????? and has fewer configuration and parts options????????

Please educate me, thanks. Any PICS of an FNC SCAR N90????

 

[zach13168]

Damn, sorry fellas this is the e-mail I just got back from FN, appearently there was a misunderstanding between Mr. Ailes and myself.

The SCAR will not be out for several years. As far as I know there are no plans to produce the FNC. We will have the FS2000 in a civilian model also at the end of this year. The FS2000 is a Bull-Pup style in 5.56 Nato.

Sorry to get your hopes up, and I need to go back to saving up for the XCR

P.S. A little while ago a post was put up about a civi Sig-550 coming out. So I e-mailed the posters contact and my e-mail was not delivering the message. So then I e-mailed the VP of Sig and he said that there where no current plans to sell it

 

[ny32182]

The main allure with any other .223 platforms that might be coming out (that are popular in other places in the world, but not here) is that they are not ARs.

I have ARs, they perform great, but variety is the spice of life. I would consider other .223 plaforms as well. I'll be looking hardest at the XCR if everything pans out with it.

 

[El Tejon]

Note the operative word "plan".

"I'm from the government and I'm here to help you."
"The check is in the mail."
"Of course I love you, Kristen, Nicole, whatever."
"Best gun I ever owned."
"This gun is deadly accurate."
"We plan on releasing . . ."

Well aren't you a stick in the mud

Because some of us don't like ARs, much less DGI (direct gas impingement) systems. I plan on getting a Vector Arms V93 some day because of this.
