I'm familiar with the Browing BAR but don't recall hearing much about the FNAR?

Found this one and given the price for the basic rifle at Buds Guns is $1,500 this looks like a deal at $1,050 if the rifle is any good.

I should add that the exact rifle at Bud's is out of stock so I don't know the price. The only FNAR they have in stock is $1,500 but it's a little different then the one I linked to. The one I found would be cheaper than most 7.62 AR's but mags are likely more expensive.

ghey. i've taken one apart, all you're paying for is the FN name.





buy a remington semi rifle and convert mags for it and save half the $$$.

I like FN rifles, and was looking forward to the FNAR as I was looking to add another .308 to my STG-58, but after handling the FNAR I was disappointed as it just didn't feel comfortable.

Of course that is just me, and I would really like to shoot one to see if I could overcome the fact that it didn't fit me if it was a nice enough shooter.

Meah ... too ugly to own! I'd get an AR10 variant.

never seen or touched one but I have read that it is a waste of time.

Thanks for the replies. Didn't find that much negative about the platform itself. I still think for this particular rifle and accessories $1,050 is a pretty good deal. Mags seem to run $66 regardless of capacity which is double or triple the cost of a .308 AR type magazine so that's a negative.

If I didn't have my CETME I might be more inclined to get my feet wet with this one.

If you have a good CETME you've got the caliber covered. However I would expect any .308 style of AR10 type rifle to way out shoot the CETME in accuracy.
