OK, I saw a couple at the gun show a few months ago and I think I've been bitten by the bug. I've got a few noob questions that I'm hoping you guys can help me out with. Instead of the standard 30rnd mag, does any know if the FS2000 will accept a straight 20rnd mag? I'm thinking that a straight 20rnd would be just long enough to not stick out past the bottom of the gun. Does anyone make a replacement railed front-end that'll let me mount accessories on the sides or below the barrel forward of the trigger? Is the barrel threaded to accept a standard AR15 FS? I was thinking that I'd like to swap out the factory FS for a Phantom or a Vortex. What kind of optics is everyone favoring? I'm thinking that a C-more mounted far up front would be perfect except for that fact that they're not that durable. I might have to go with an EOTech, but I'm afraid that they'd be a bit bulk for the rifle. Also, the gripping surfaces (grip, forearm) seem kinda slickery. Has anyone played around with checkering or some other method to rough up the handling surfaces for a more positive grip? Slings? Is anyone making slings for the FS2000? Or should I just plan on either making or modifying one of my own? Spare furniture? Since there seems to be a definitely lack of mounting attachement points, how's the availability of spare stocks, forearms, etc??? The plastic stock and forearms offer a lot of possbilities for doing homebrew mods, but I too chicken to try without a replacement to swapout if I don't like the mod or screw it up. Last and most importantly, where to get one? Who's got the best prices, availabilty, etc... ? I've checked out gunbroker.com, but I'd rather buy either locally or an established dealer. Thanks in advance for all thoughts and advice. -Frank |

I have decided to leave both my FS 2000 rifles in factory stock form. Personally i like the factory style flash hider/compensator and have seen really bad and excellent convertions when upgrading the FH to a different design. One day FNH will release the the factory 1.6 power optic sight as seen on the F2000 but until that day comes i have decided to use the new Trijicon TA31RCOM4 optic on my black FS 2000 and a Tri power on the green machine. Both optic choices provide excellent red chevron aiming system and clear optical glass. I use D&H black and H&K black maritime 30rd mags with excellent preformance. The FS 2000 is a true pleasure to shoot. I just love how the empty brass drops out from the ejection tunnel ramp on the right side. The rifle tends to spoil you a little,...it has the ultimate bad ass look and comfort zone of your favorite bed time pillow. After shooting the gun for the first time last month i have almost retired the AR15's for the rest of the year. for 2 grand she it worth every penny.

2100.00 would be a fair price these days, I originally paid 1950.00 for both my Black and green FS 2000's. The FS Green model was of the first import release of 412 units and bassically a year later i bought the black one during a FNH sales event at a local south seattle gun store. For a bullpup design they are the utimate carbine, I provided my gun to several arf com member at the local LCR shoot and belive many more members will be investing in one sooner or later. Things to come...

Mine is better than blow and whores followed by morphine and microwbrews.I have only had it for two weeks and it is so much fun.Right know I am running a trijicon reflex with the triangle on her.I don't like the reflex sight,I get different POIs if I close an eye to shoot.I mean a rossie o'donnel size difference(6 to 8 moa).My dealer said I could trade over for an EOTECH(have one on my 91 works great),I have also thought about a regular mini ACOG in 2.5 power.The reflex has two things going for it though,its tiny compared to an EOTECH,and is always on,being "solar" powered.
