Can you guys tell me anything about the "Fake FN" FEG hi power clones that CDI has for $209?

Yes; I can tell you that if the thought of having a non-FN made hi-power doesn't bug you you should buy one.

Now.

Solid FEGs

Buy one as a shooter or as a project gun.

I bought one of the $199 ones and it has been fantastic. In fact, I sold my real FN because the FEG shot a lot better.

Awesome - it shipped today, should be at my FFL on monday.
The sights will be the first to go. And a C&S trigger
ETA: and a new recoil spring from wolff is on the way!

My FEG "Fake FN" was $219, and cleaned up great. Absolutely reliable.

<------FN/Browning Hi Power fanboy btw

If I had to buy a non FN Hi Power it would be an FEG hands down.
Their fit and finish is far superior to the Argentine copies.

I bought one of CDI's FN's and a buddy bought an FÈG at the same time.  Except for the markings, they are hard to tell apart.  He saved $200 and got as good a gun.

I think mine is just a little smoother, but not $200 better.

Where are these FEG's located? I would like to check these out.....

Here ya go

That's where I got my FEG

You guys rock! Thanks for the link

I have three now

They are great shooters that were a Heck of a deal.

I bought one of Teh $199 ones last year. It's in great shape. Parkerization and fairly new grips. Mag safety already removed. I thought I'd lucked up on some decent 3 dot sights, but it was white crayon or something similar that had been placed in the dots of he sights. I did replace the recoil spring because it failed to go in to battery on occasion after stripping off a new round from the magazine.

I don't need another one, but for the price, it can't be beaten. Especially for a truck/BOB/tackle box/stash away/CCW gun. Also, 44mag.com
has 13rd Mec-Gar mags for $20.

If you want a “genuine” FEG/FN counterfeit, rather than just a shooter, be sure the major components match…not only actual SN number (Prefix such as B, L or C, then a space followed by a 5 digit number) but SN placement (chamber visible through ejection port, slide below ejection port and frame...normally vertically on the front strap but some are just below the slide SN), matching SN font/size and counterfeit (smaller than usual) FN Liege "pineapple" proof (most often…but not always) right side of trigger guard root...in addition to the counterfeit FN (NOT Browning) slide legend. Although Gary Cole makes every effort to get it right and is excellent to deal with…in my experience anyway, a few of the currently listed "Fake FN" pistols are more correctly parts guns where some components don’t match…..
Such as this one:

And this one as well:

There might be others, I haven’t checked them all, but of those I did check, most were “genuine” FEG/FN counterfeits…..

I got one of the Luger marked FEG's last year.  Its a great shooter.  You can not beat Cole's price nor his honest descriptions of these guns.  His camera brings out many flaws that are not obvious to the naked eye.

Everyone is pleased when they purchase one of these


One guy got one that was a lemon, Cole took it back and sent him a good one right away.
