Hey all,

I was e-mailing with a guy at FEG asking him a few questions.  In the exchange I mentioned flats.  He said that I could buy them if I wanted .  My question is, is it worth it?  Do the dimensions change enough upon bending that it would mess up the tradition of FEG quality?

ETA: He didn't mention price, because I couldn't give him a quantity.

Thanks,
BoB

HMMM??? Sound very interesting... I would be in for some, depending on price..

Please tell us more, and make sure they are semi auto flats..

could they be imported?  flats may not be controled item like receiver, but if ATF came down on barrels, I'm not sure if they'd allow flats either.

FEG flats would probably be a little better than others assuming that the various dimples, x and y depressions are of correct dimensions.

If they didn't have that front hole like a Tapco flat but were otherwise identical then that would be an improvement .

Any word on variations like 5.45 or 5.56?

Flats, being less than 80% complete, are not considered firearms or firearm parts, AFAIK.  I don't think there's an issue there.

They are flats for an SA-85.  I'm assuming that means they are semi.

So I dug back through my e-mail and the guy said "16-18 USD depending on quantity".  I imagine shipping and import duties would seriously jack that price, so don't get too excited.

Anyhow, this all happened in passing back in January and I didn't think much about it until the whole import issue came up.  I tried to write back to the guy at "feginvest.hu" and that domain doesn't exist.  I'll try some other addresses.

Likely not.  I don't know how complete the flats would be, but he was clear that they were SA-85 flats.  I'm guessing 7.62 only.  However, flats are just that.  Flat.  I'm sure they could be tweaked by an adequate gunsmith.
