    Is FN preparing to release their own AR?

    I saw this ad in RECOIL magazine yesterday. It mentions a "sneak peak" of the "FN15."

    Does anybody else have more info on this?

    There was some buzz about this a couple of months ago and most believe that yes, FN is going to produce commercial AR-15s in some form or fashion.

    Interesting. Don't they make M4s for Uncle Sam? I know their barrels are well thought of, what are the thoughts of those here who have handled FN M4s or M16s? Contender with Colt? Good entry to the marker giving us another good option? Or similar to my thoughts, interesting and too early to tell.

    In the Corps I had both a Colt and an FN A2. Couldn't tell the difference between the two besides the roll mark.
    That said, I wouldn't mind an FN AR15. Just because.

    I'm with you, it is the one AR15 that I would probably buy stock instead of building right now. The FN M16A2 has loads of memories for me. M4s for some reason seem more generic, I'm really not sure why.

    FN held a conference call a few months ago w/ a few FN owners that volunteered for an FN AR-15 focus group. And a few of us participated in an online survey regarding it, what price point, and what to name it. I forgot what 3 options I chose, but you can search for the thread on FNForum.net.

    This statement bothers me especially the comment about price point.

    I predict we will hear about it sometime around SHOT. I think I mentioned it here in another thread about FN. I think the version I heard about was going to be an FN M4. That could have changed and with the market situation who knows how it will play out.
