FN's new "Guardian"

[Slater]

Nitrided barrel instead of chrome-lined and an MSRP of $999. This seems more aimed at the entry-level crowd, but FN may sell a lot of them.

Imo it looks like a BCA rifle with fn’s name on it.

That wouldn’t be my first choice.

Someone at FN needs Red Forman's foot put in his ass!!!

I would hope its a decent rifle, it cost as much as a 6920. Time will tell. Didn't look atrocious to me. But Im not buying one, someone else to test those waters.

But it's "built to a higher standard."

Yawn. They even got their own gayrod branded rail, furniture and mag cause I guess they’re betterer. I might take the lower off one just for the rollmark.

Handguard looks like it might have come from Sionics; it uses the same barrel nut attachment it seems like, at least.

[Hammer_Man]

I just don’t understand the price point, given the lack of forward assist and nitrided barrel.

[Slater]

The brand probably adds a couple bucks to the price.
