For so odd reason I have taken a liking to these ugly things.. However I know jack shit about them.. So in a nutshell whats the down and dirty about them, and how hard is it to find parts for them.. Is it true that FN has stopped making them?


thanks

I would do a Google search as there is lots out there that doesn't need restated.

That said, my biggest complaint is the pinned factory comp. And parts are harder to find, but FN will take care of you if you run into any problems.

Other than that, I think it is handy and it never felt bulky to me. The front ejection is cool, especially for dexterity. The tri-rail is a must, and is cool with a hand stop or an AFG. The downer is that the charging handle is not reversible if I recall correctly, so lefties have to charge it AK-style. The charging handle doesn't reciprocate, but it also doesn't lock back on an empty mag.

To this the day, it's the only gun I regret selling. I did get a SCAR 16S with the funds, which is more customizable and is the bomb as a SBR.

As far as bullpups go, the FS2000 is the only one I have an interest in. I think the Tavor and the AUG are a tad more customizable, but there's just something awesome about the tactical tuna.

Whoops, looks like I ended up restating stuff anyway.

I agree, after buying a Tavor i have acquired a huge interest in bullpups.  My local shop had an FS2000 for sale so i went and fondled with it for a while.  Being a lefty also, it was very awkward to charge the weapon with my left hand.  I also was surprised with how much force it took to remove the magazine.  Other than the awkward operation of the charging handle the rifle was surprisingly light and comfortable, it looks big, bulky and heavy when you see images of them, but they are nice to hold and pretty light.  All in all for the money i decided to pass but if i ever saw one for around $1200 i would probably snatch one up .

go there....doo eeet

Thanks for the Intel

I liked mine and it would shoot perfectly and was very accurate. The magazine issue can be resolved by removing the rubber gasket in the mag well, as some others have done. It is not that difficult to remove the mags with the gasket intact.

Except the charging handle, perfect for us lefties

Lefty here and I love mine.   The front eject works like a champ and the left side charging handle has never been an issue.   After reading internet horror stories about breaking handles I did install a judochop one just for piece of mind.    Goofy looks equate to excellent ergonomics once shouldered.

One other item that I haven't heard mentioned yet is how clean it shoots.   Tear down is super fast and I can do a full clean in about half the time it takes on an AR.

Myself and a friend both bought FS2000s at the same time. He is left handed. He's very happy with his.  (As am I) It's way more ergonomic than it's given credit for.

Thee man has opened the door to vast knowledge.



Not to mention the nice neat pile of brass to scoop up when you are done.
