Anyone know anything about the new FNH FNAR yet? It looks pretty great:

I don't know how the accuracy or dependability is of this rifle yet, but it looks like a promising venture. FNH is promising 1 MOA or better.

That all? The new generation of 7.62 piston AR (POF, LWRC) have been around .5 MOA, and most others are at .75MOA.
What's the advantage of this rifle other than the removable magazine? Who or what is it designed for?

Maybe FN is taking a page out of HK's book and producing whatever the heck they want, because after all they know better than we do, and besides, they don't like us civilians.

Now I'm confused, I was told this rifle was based of the Browning BAR and not a piston driven AR-10. ???
Probably don't need to think about it, too rich for my blood anyway.

I think he meant that the piston guns were already doing what this rifle, no matter how operated, was claiming.
My GUESS is that it's for people who want a semi auto .308 without a typical EBR

Makes sense, I've heard that some agencies don't allow AR-15s so they use Mini 14s instead.

I'm feeling some building lust, Got to get a .357 first though.

THIS IS AN AWSOME GUN 3/4 GROUPS AT 200 YARDS WORKS WELL ON WOODCHUCKS AT 400 YARDS.

Actually, they really aren't all that high dollar. Gander had them at under $1500. You can easily pay this for a standard AR. The problem is that they don't use the old FN surplus mags and instead demand proprietary mags as at about $70 a pop. >:( Hoever I'll give ya'll a full report when I win mine! ;D

FQ, you just keep on dreaming about MY next rifle. ;D

Stop it both of you its my rifle your talking about. ;D

Anybody taken a look at the Winchester SX-AR. Looks to be the same rifle as the FNAR but with a unfluted heavy barrel and a cammo paint job. In just looking arround a little, the SX-AR looks to be selling for about $400.00 less than the FNAR.
Just throwing that out there for anyone interested.

Uses FNAR mags, too. Heavy son of a gun. 9 lbs 14 oz.

Looked at one yesterday $1,330.00+- WINCHESTER CAMO

And that is a huge money saver. Honestly, though just a good used FN is hard to beat, though possibly pricier. Still heavy, but it did well for a long time. The Wincheater seems worth a look.

For little more you can get a Springfield M-1A. A more proven rifle with much cheaper and more available magazines. Bill T.

I bought the Winchester version.
The ad for mine was for $1199 but after taxes walk out was $1300.
I found spare mags at Gander Mountain for $56.00. Doesn't matter what the cap is, 20, 10, or 5, they're all same price.
I did check out other rifles before picking mine up and only saw higher prices so I went with the Winchester SX-AR.
-
PORN PLEASE!!!!
-
FN owns Winchester now so they could very well be the same gun. Seems to be a real good rifle with reports of outstanding accuracy.
-
Can anyone post a link with a picture of the Winchester version? Bill T.

MSRP of $1379.00 should translate to a street price of around a Grand. Bill T.

Wonder what the tax will be on the one I'm going to win here ;D

They do not tax you on "Almost won it" so you are good. Me on the other hand I got to worry about tax and now sending someone a can of "Tac Bacon" if I hit the Zombie package.
I think MB will point us in the right direction Tom.

I can only tell you this. The tax on my Bushmaster BA-50 .50 BMG was $480.00. That would have come real close to buying me a new Glock, you pick the flavor. Totally disgusting. They will only waste every single penny of it. This is going to catch up with this nation in time. When people have no more money to buy things to pay taxes on this nation will fall apart. Hussein is basing his whole Presidency on the fact people will continue to work, pay taxes, and above all, BUY THINGS! How will they do that when they are losing their jobs, homes, cars, along with everything else?? Unemployment is off the chart. This in spite of what MSDNC says. Bill T.

Fabrique Nationale Herstal -USA LOVES civilians. You can get civie versions of the P90 and SCAR. Completely opposite of Heckler & Koch.
