Bought mine shortly after it came out. Serial number in the 26,000 range.
Have kept it stock original. Feeds & discharges flawlessly. Love it! |

As complex as the ejection system is I've never had any stoppage caused by it. It has been literally flawless.
The rifle itself balences well and is comfortable to shoot. I'd characterize the FS2000 as being somewhat bulky but light feeling. AJ |

Looks cool but not a great shooter, odd egos, mag loading/ejection is difficult....but I wouldn't get rid of mine.

Bought mine used, no idea what the original round count was. I've put only a few hundred rounds through mine at most. But no malfunctions at all, in fact I'd consider it one of my most fun 223 rifles to shoot. And I don't think the ergos are that bad at all; charging handle is easy to hit for righties, safety is right next to the trigger, the mag release is a different manual of arms than many others and the push button is slightly harder than a lever but I wouldn't say bad - just grab the mag like normal and pull with hand and push with index finger.

I saw a guy at the range with one, and he was shooting some steel case, and he had some type of malfunction (not sure which) watching him try and clear it was pretty funny.
From what I've seen, they are pretty reliable, the ejection system more of a liability imho. I dont like the little flip up port door, they can only take usgi mags, unless you want to cut up the mag skirt. No last round bolt hold open Horrible trigger Clearing malfs sucks Plastic No aftermarket. The pros, the ejection system is neat, even if i dont like it Decently accurate, more than acceptable for a carbine. Reliable, if you shoot steel case, be sure to adjust the gas port You can get a tavor or aug, or an incredibly nice ar instead |

Zero issues with this gal.
Ergonomics seem strange until you shoulder it then everything falls into place. Only mods since this pic were adding a solid aluminum charging handle and a sling adapter.

Zero issues with mine. I shoot steel case without a single problem.

The FS2000 is a BEAST. But if you cant get past how an ar works you wont be able to use this smoothly. Ive had mine since 09' and cant say a bad thing about it. The bull pup is the best rifle design. Its just not enough can get to the next level and get past the traditional long rifle design. The best bet is to shoot one first, see the HUGE advantages it offers, then buy one.

I wish FN would produce them again. I want one, but not for $2700...
I missed out when they were $1300. |

I picked up a used F2000 for $1,100. I like it. It's been 100% and I shoot lots of cheap steel through it (on the 'mo gas setting). I finally got used to reloading it quickly. I still prefer my AUG A3 though. If I was walking a lot more than shooting, I'd pack the FN.

The olive one has about 5k through it with no failures, black one is still new in box.

I got mine with a factory optic for $1150, I like it but if anything it was a good investment.

Never had a problem after a few thousand rounds.
I would buy another if one comes along at the right price. |

Hot brass from the ejection port has burned my finger a few times until I learned to keep clear.
