$1149.99. Given there are none on the market. I think the MSRP price is an agreeable one.

Anything definitive on who is making the rifle and it's components? Actual FN or just branded?

It has an article in it where they review the new FN15's. It states they are made at there Columbia, South Carolina plant where they make M-16's, M249's, etc. It did say however it is not made on the same assembly line as the M-16, but a completely separate part of the plant reserved for civilian rifles. It is FN made. |

Even the FN reps at the SHOT shown said they make them in house. good to hear that. another thing that made me think is that a dealer on TOS claims the RE is not made of 7075 alloy (is it even possible to tell the difference just by looking at it?!), the carbines come with a standard CAR buffer and 6 positions RE  .
sounds odd from a USGI supplier.. |

sounds odd from a USGI supplier.. They are making these rifles for the civilian market. Not a government contract. Certain parts of the government "standard" like a 4 position buffer tube are only the standard because that's all there was 20 years ago. 6 positions gives you more adjustment, which is a good thing. It's 2014. There are truly parts for AR's today that are BETTER than Mil-spec. Now I'm not saying these rifles are better. Hardly, but I'm sure there damn nice guns. |

I agree with you Tengo tha milspec doesnt mean the best-thing-on-earth,
but if the rumors are true, making a RE out of a different alloy and using standard CAR buffers when milspec parts are already available in house doenst make sense at all. btw dont get me wrong I'm not bashing FN.. I would really like to add an FN15 to my collection but I'm afraid they screwed up a good product. people buy Colt because it's not an Oly and those same people are expecting the same hiquality from FN. we will see. |

Has anyone that picked one of these up taken some detailed pictures of the rifle and its assemblies? What are your thoughts on it so far?

I handled a 16" at a local gun shop yesterday. The lower is marked "multi" caliber with no "FN" logo on the left side, and the right side has a huge laser engraved rollmark. It looked cheesy. I'd rather have a Colt 6920.

If you handled one in person;
Is the buffer carbine or h? Is the front sight base f marked? Living in SC I wanted one but no f marked front sight base and no h buffer make it a deal killer and better of with a 6920. |

I bought a FNH FN15 20" rifle two weeks ago and here is what it has on it.
- Barrel is gov't profile, chrome lined, broach rifled, stamped w/ FNH (logo) MP 1/7 5.56 NATO and with "F" marked FSB. - Bolt is marked HPT/MPI with a unmarked carrier that is chrome lined with staked gas key. - Upper receiver is from Cerro Forge, T marked, w/o FN's F stamped, M4 feed ramps, w/MilSpec carry handle. - Lower receiver is from Cerro Forge, unblocked, low shelf with selector stops. - Roll mark is plain looking with just "Model FN15", "Caliber Multi", Serial # and a White laser etched FNH logo is on the mag fence area. |

I'm waiting for the Colt AR-15A4 rifle first, but I will still buy the FN 20" rifle afterwards... I only wished that FN would have "rolled" their logo on the left side of the receiver in a more traditional manner like Colt and Armalite verse the "laser engraving" on the right side since to me, IMHO, takes away from its military looks. Other than that, FN rifles are winners!!

I know what you mean they left enough room to put a logo on the other side.
Too bad they didn't stay with the original AR lower roll mark.
