For about ten years I've been hunting for an F2000 bayonet lug. I recently found a source for the bayonet lug and some other parts that were not specified. Sadly, the source did not want to sell me only one, and only wants to deal with a significantly larger quantity. I don't have it in me to manage a group buy, and I can't dedicate the funds to buying a large quantity of items and trying to re-sell everything. I'm hoping the afore-mentioned source will post them to their web page for direct sales. I think there would be pretty significant interest in bayonet lugs (and other parts). I started a thread on the FN Forum, If you are interested in a bayonet lug, make some noise in that thread, and if there is enough interest I will direct them there to assess the possibilities. Also, if you know anybody that might be interested, please direct them there. FWIW, I have no financial interest in this. I just want a bayonet lug. This thread |

That's cool, and thanks for sharing and thinking of the FS2000 owners here. Hopefully a lug buy can happen for people. My F2000 Tactical has a bayonet lug, and I'm interested in obtaining an issued bayonet for the best price, if anyone has a lead on where that would be. Last time I looked they were like $400. I'd prefer the Slovenian version, but FN's version would be ok too I guess. Attached File   |

Just Arex/Fox, and I saw one picture of an Eickhorn one, but I'm not sure it ever entered production (unless it was their K98 version and it just happens to already fit) but I've never even seen Eickhorn's regular K98 version offered online by a company. I know they produced some in tan for the Saudis (in the 90s?) but I'm not sure if they've produced any since then. |

I have been hunting for a bayonet lug for years as well and will definitely be wanting to buy several. How many were they looking to sell you? What kind of ballpark price point? I’m motivated to help make this happen. The bayonet mount is somewhat unique… off the top of my head I think it will kinda fit on an FN-49 bayonet lug but it’s definitely not the right size. I picked up on the the Fox bayonets several years back on eBay for $150 or so if memory serves. At one point I was looking at having a small run made via 3D printing but if the real deal is available that’s much better. |

@eodinert Seems like a decent amount of interest, and I'm sure several of us would be interested in buying multiples of parts. Any update? I'd be in for a couple of bayonet lugs, 2-3 each of whatever other parts are available, and again I'm VERY interested in getting a second barrel. |
