anyone heard of a street price? I'm with you on FN15 rifle...i love FN...(repair/warranty service wait time is terrible though FYI) I am in the process of getting a repair done and it's been over a month and they haven't touched it yet. I sent a pistol to Smith and Wesson once..not only did they pay for shipping they also got it back to me in 9 business days from when it arrived...sorry for the rant.

It sucks they only offer the carbine in 16" and the receiver extension is 6-position (instead of mil-standard 4), but I bet both rifles are sweet.

I'm on board for a 20" but that line bugs me.

It's just a sales pitch.. At least they didn't resort to carbon fiber and pink camo finishes like the former king of the hill...

The FN 15™ Rifle has a 20-inch chrome-lined, alloy steel barrel and is available in 5.56mm NATO. The polymer forearm and fixed butt stock are both black, and the total length is 39.5 inches. The FN 15™ Rifle also features an A2-style compensator and a 1:7-inch RH twist rate. It comes with fixed A2-style front sights, a removable M4-style rear carrying handle, and one GI pattern 30-round aluminum magazine. Never mind not very excited anymore... |

Nothing wrong with a CMV barrel, Colt, FNH or otherwise. I do agree it would have been better to use a CHF barrel but I'm still interested depending on the price.

They advertise their SCAR barrels as hammer forged (http://www.fnhusa.com/l/products/accessories/carbines/scar-barrels/).
I assume they are using button-rifled barrels per the milspec (i.e., TDP). But, with non-milspec features like 6-position stock, I'm not so sure they are sticking as close as possible to milspec. |

Im curious as to how close the 20 inch gun is to the M16A4's they made. If its the same deal, minus the lower and trigger group, I think it would be a great part of any collection.

Reoil magazine did a special FN products magazine this month. The FN 15 is featured and they have lots of pics. I didn't pick up the mag yet, but I am sure you can find it at any place that sells Recoil.
