Re: FNH FN-15
there are plenty of AR15's on the market I would trust my life with other than Colt, HK or now FN. None of these manufacturers have the market cornered on reliable AR15's just because they are the recipient of a government contract. if i recall correctly rock river had a big contract with the DEA a few years ago and there are plenty of other government agencies and law enforcement that have AR15's manufactured by companies other than HK, Colt and FN.
i think its great that FN is making civilian AR's but as stated in my original email there's nothing different about the FN other than the FN logo.

Re: FNH FN-15
So if that is your position, then isn't pretty much every single $600-$700 AR the equal of a KAC or a LMT or a DD AR?
As we all know, some companies produce a better product that other companies within the same platform. And if FN can produce a high quality AR at an extremely competitive price point - how can that bad or overrated?
Higher quality products are lower price points will only benefit the masses.

Re: FNH FN-15
Up until fairly recently there were ony a few actual "manufacturers" of AR's. They simply branded them for different companies. Continental Machine made lowers, bolts, carriers, etc for Colt, RRA, Bushmaster, etc for years. Parts made by FN were also used to assemble rifles by others. My personal SP1 clone uses an FN made A1 type barrel.
(FWIW- CM marks didn't mean Colt Manufacturing, it meant Continental Machine)
If memory serves sometime in the late 90's, early 00's Continental was renamed but I could very much be in error.
Guys my point is this. Most AR's are actually made by just a few manufacturers. However MANY companies assemble them from parts made by these few manufacturers. It is not worth paying extra premium prices for the name on the side of the receiver in many cases."I reject your reality and substitute my own"

Re: FNH FN-15
Lol here is your authentic FN M4A1. I'm not sure of the legality of cloning this, IIRC the BATFE doesnt like when you alter the markings
