Cool guy pic tomorrow. Missing buttstock screw (stock kit came with A2, so I may just cut it to length), and the rear detent doesn't seat all the way, so that is still being figured out.
You store your loaded weapons on the fire box of a wood burning stove??
You'll be missing more the one(1) screw..

Hey man...don't judge me!Virus
You store your loaded weapons on the fore box of a wood burning stove??
You'll be missing more the one(1) screw..
So which worse, being told you are missing a screw or have a few screws loose? Why do you want to shorten the stock?
That's a tough one....I think I'd rather have my rifle complete and be called a few screws loose.The stock short? It is an A1 stock, and the kit came with an A2 stock screw, which is to long and it restricts the buffers movement to the rear. As I'm not building an m16a2 style (yet), and I'd have to buy a new stock kit for that, I'll just cut the screw to the A1 length and be done with it.
Indeed, what else ?
I live in Belgium, not much else to do with it here !!!
Awesome retro A1 build virus!
Not mine, but belongs to a good buddy of mine. He had a gunsmith specializing on five sevens work on it. Ridiculous amount of money spent on this sucker. I'm not sure how practical this gun is, but it's fun as hell to shoot.
^ That is one gun I'd like to have.
Went to another match with a few buddies this weekend too. Nothing like the smell of gunpowder in the morning.

Mozambique drill
It was a good day.

It's definitely a bit different than other guns out there. Too bad 5.7 prices are high though.
Agreed, Kilo. And one thing I don't need is another damn caliber to have to crowd my ammo shelf. As much as I like .40 S&W, what has largely kept me from buying another pistol in that caliber is the logistics. I have four pistols in .45 ACP and five in 9mm, and it makes sense to stick with those two calibers, for the sake of practicality.
Looks like you had a good time. I was going to go take a couple of my FALs, my HB AR, and my CZ75 out today, but my son is sick and I gotta watch our daughter while my wife takes care of the little guy.
x2it's fun as hell to shoot.
I went to the range with AUDIEM249 a few years ago and he was nice enough to let me shoot his; they're really fun to shoot, and accurate.
I'd love to see those pistols gain more momentum, in the hopes of prices coming down.
How does the licensing for this work? Do FN patents mean they are the only company alowed to make firearms in this caliber? I take it there is only one manufacturer for the ammo.
Not sure.
But I don't think that FN would be dumb enough to try to "patent" the caliber, even if they legally could do so.
I remember when Smith & Wesson developed the .40 caliber. Glock caught wind, and came out with the Models 22 and 23 before S&W could release their pistol.
