Someone will end up paying that much.

I hope they don't start off making hundreds/thousands of them as I doubt the market demand will be there at those prices.

|
Yea that shits a bit out of whack.
That being said the FN DMR is fucking amazing |
|
|
I'll be honest, I'd like to own one of each. I just can't see myself dropping ~$1500 for it though.
|

I've been thinking about picking up another M4 clone, as the only other one I have is an older A2 very simple gun I purchased years ago.
I was leaning towards getting a Colt 6920, but if these are priced right I might pick one up at some point. I really like the 14.7" barrel with the pinned flash suppressor. Not for $1500 though... |
|
Damn I really wanted one of each, but I thought they would be 1000-1200$
|
|
I'm trying to remember what the number was but I think it was about $450 for an M4A1 on the CMR.
Uncle Sam discount I guess. |
|
They are supposed to look like the.gov guns, so the machining and marking was changed to mimic what the government gets. R ETA: they were CNC engraved, not "rollmarked". The markings will still be more consistent than the government guns though. |

I would be a buyer in the $750-800 range. Not for $1500, sorry FN...
In todays market of $500-600 ARs, even $850 Colt 6920's, im not paying $1500 for a roll mark. |
|
$1600 is the MAP.
FN won't let a dealer sell advertise under $1600 if they want to keep being a dealer. I'll guess the average price will be $1700 ish |

I wish they'd do stripped lowers. My issued rifle was an FN M16A2, I'd like to build a clone.

What the market will driver the price it is anyone's guess, but doubt they'll move many over $1,000. Just my stupid opinion, worth nothing. |

I really want to get a M249s. This... I was hoping they'd do it in the $3K range...i think theyd sell a fuckton if it was priced reasonably |

I actually said holy fuck out loud and scared my dog when I saw that price.
No way in shit FN. |

Well, keep in mind between employees (and their friends and family), and suppliers, a company like FN can probably offload between a thousand to two thousand of these without breaking a sweat. ETA: I agree the price is going to plummet though. They are way high on MAP. |
|
I was really excited about these, especially the A4 clone. Ouch at that price though.
|
|
Can anyone else confirm the 7k price for the M249s? That seems high to me. I was hoping for around 5k.

Quoted: Are they even offering it? That was just a guess at what it would cost based on what the military pays for them.

I'd go for an A4 if they were sub-1k, but then my only nostalgia for FN goes to OSUT.
|
|
I guess the key word is "collector" but damn you can buy a complete 6920 upper on the EE for $400 and make your own.

Just like an M4 or M16 doesn't cost almost $2k It's about $4K for the military, with accessories. So after FN mods it to fire semi-only and gets in their margin it's going to cost a lot more. |

Looks like you can buy the stripped receiver here:

The NIB rails are driving that cost.
You can get them used for under $100. With that said, it's nice that someone is finally offering loyal clones. |

I really just want a stripped lower. I have an FN A2 clone built on a NDS lower. It would be pretty cool to put all those parts on an FN lower.
