Apparently it is a very simple fix - I guess they just add a firing pin spring or replace the original firing pin or something like that. Problem solved. I also heard that the first people who sent the rifles back got some king of optic or sight free from FN (as a way of apology). Don't know if it's true, but that's the rumor. |

If you take an FS2000 apart it has all full auto parts in the trigger pack. To relate it to the AR15 its like having a DIAS with all full auto parts minus the selector. It does make it a very safe weapon for out of battery fire. I have had a few slam fires with reloads using federal primers. It is just like a 2 round burst. I have never had a burst more than 2 rounds. I have had people at the range ask me about my fast trigger finger. I can't wait to get the problem fixed. It really screws up a group.... |
To be fair, this is the first commercial version of it. I can forgive a minor teething problem with the first new and really innovative gun to hit the market in 20 years - and at least the company is being very nice about it, and giving free goodies to all the owners. I would have bought one myself last month if I hadn't had some unexpected expenses, and this recall didn't change my mind one bit when I heard about it. |
It wasn't the extractor that was broke, it was the firing pin. Better check that. |
That's almost exactly what I said. In the words of my generation: P\/\/|\|3|)! |
Its a conspiracy between FN, the BATFE and the Trilateral Commission.  I bet he mailed a warrantee card in, but that'd be too fucking simple for those that need to be medicated, or prevented from owning anything more dangerous than a crayon. |

[tinfoil hat] It's a lie! The guns are fine, but the Govt. is in bed with FN and are justt rying to get a list of addresses of where these evil guns are located so they can buzz your house with black helicopters! [/tinfoil hat] Bad firing pin.. causes slamfires.. Did they file them down incorrectly and now the guns go FA? I knew that jerkey-selling SEAL was telling me the truth!

Nope, I already explained how it worked earlier. FN contacts the dealer they sold the rifle to, dealer looks up the paperwork and tells FN who they sold it to. That simple. |
