They will be breaking ground next year in Liberty, SC, literally my back door!
Not sure what product they will be making here.
May have to see what positions are available when the time comes....

Yea, the liberal tards in Richland County, SC granted, then denied the benefits that would have caused FN to expand their plant north of Columbia. So, Richland County loses the jobs and tax base to Liberty SC/ Pickens county.

Yep at twice the investment.
I'm sitting at work about 3 miles from the new spot right now, hoping there will be some good engineering openings that pay enough to make it worth a move. I can't afford to change jobs just for fun at the moment

Both the expansion at the Columbia facility and the new plant in Liberty are happening.

Great news! Now they’ll have 2x the production capacity to refuse to support the SCAR platform.

Instead you can have some new fangled polymer pistol that won’t compete with Glock/Sig and end up discontinued a few years after release.

Well maybe they will start up a QC and product safety division.

No need a stupid aftermarket rail extension. I hope they bring these.

I’d settle for just the barrel assemblies.

I the scar is my favorite rifle by a mile and they refuse to update it.  It’s a shame.  

Glad to hear they are expanding though.

Thread resurect.
Did FN ever break ground in Liberty?

I always forget how big that state is.

So I was in the area today and can confirm that FN is constructing a large building at the Liberty commerce center.

Bring
FN: FN!
me; My FNAR fell off a table and the stock snapped like a twig!
FN: We don't make those anymore. Maybe a stock off the browning bar would fit but I'm not sure.
me: Yeah thanks.
FN: Yup bye

Nice. Hopefully they can litter the market with spare parts like HK and B&T do.

FN stocks are now made by Pudent America, which is owned by JJE Captial (PSA).  PSA all the things!

I don't know. I have a magazine fed BAR and it is (as far as I know) the same receiver etc as the FNAR so it should work. I have a aftermarket Fnar stock somewhere but haven't found it since the move.

I saw a Fnar and mags at a gun show for a grand or so recently.
