FNP is not designed by FN USA, but by FN herstal. It is produced however in FN USA.

But yeah it was part of the deal, wich FN Herstal dint minded at all, because the herstal factory has always been producing at its limit.

  Pretty sure Beretta had to do the same thing.....The USA never knows who they are gonna invade next so in the off chance we decide to invade Luxembourg we don't want Italy and Belgium getting all pissy and cutting off our weapon supply.  :D

Can you guys have full auto over there?

Yes, we are allowed to own them meaning when we got the gun we have to put them in the safe and then it has to stay there. Basically it's meant that collectors have the chance to get their hands on those types of weapons without destroying its real valor.
I didn't just bought that baby because i'm a gunfan but also as an 'investment'.
I had to pay 1400€ for the browning and comparing to a demilled m1919 from Arlon militaria fairs that's dirt-cheap, you wont find one there under 2000€

Just to make shure, you are still allowed to take it to the range, right? Besides, that price is mind blowing.
They were selling some in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area (deactivated) for over 5000$! For a working one, be ready to spend more than 30,000$ over here!

that looks cold as hell.

tenker du satte pris på 600-grammen  :P

the 600-gram was in constant use  ;D

the worst part were the ice, drifting with a 25 tonn artillery piece for 10 hours straight is not as cool as it sounds when you are sitting inside bumping around like a ball.  ::)

Nope, you only can OWN them, you are NOT allowed to take them to the range.
However you can take some fullautos that have been modified to shoot only semi to the range, like a Thompson, PPSH, AK47, basically assault rifles and smgs, not lmgs or mgs.

The rest I tell you in your pm

This is Russia's latest toy, the AK-12. It will most likely replace the current AK-74 as the Russian army budget has been increased and they have went the way to remove most soviet era equipment



But what i find rather funny, is the bayonet. check how long it is  ;D
Probaly requested by Putin himself   ;D

Ive been looking at the recent Garand arrivals people have been getting from them, definitely not hard on the eyes.

i randomly walked into a gun shop by my house and came across a garand that they happened to have and bought it. awesome gun. have to reload ammo because of the powder burn rate. off the shelf 30-06 jams up. i love hearing the sound of the clip pop  out after the last shot.  ;D

Its also hard on the rifle, i know there are adjustable gas blocks available if you want to shoot low grain commercial loads, Hornaday also makes a specific (yet expensive) commercial load for the Garand.
