As he said this is my daily carry primary and has been for the last 2 years over here. I carried the Australian SLR version when i first joined the army years ago so when this FN cam up i grabed hold of it, didn't take long for the muscle memery to kick back in. It was incomplete when i got it but came at the best price, free. Thanks to another mate in the US i was able to get hold of some parts from DSA to get it going again. Due to the fact we work out of cars and close areas in the cities I opted for the 11" front end. If i had my time again would go for the 13 or 16.25 with short gas system (just for a bit more muzzle velocity). Like i said i've had it on the road for 2 years and never has let me down yet. Because it's 7.62 you can't shoot it like an M4, like all larger calibers it need to keep a lower rate of fire to keep it going. It's full auto, but kicks like a real gun so single shots only when it counts. But having said that to get it singing fast on the range is a heap of fun, it blows huge flames out the front and throw you around like a Bitch. I used to run an EoTec on it, i'm not real keen on them and it also used to get punishd by the cases comming out, much happier with an Aimpoint again.
[red]A KX3 would probably help it out too, as being so short in the barrel it's loud as hell. I'd be keen to hear if anyone has tried one and how it went.[/red]
Be glad to answer any questions if youhave them,
Tim
i run one(kx3) on a 11" and am amazed at how well it work at controlling muzzle climb

"Oh, you can't help that," said the cheshire Cat, "We're all mad here. I'm mad. You're
mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" asked Alice.
"You must be," said the cheshire Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."
