The FNC is a select fire rifle chambered in 5.56mm NATO manufactured by http://www.fnherstal.com/.  Unlike the M16, the FNC is RELIABLE.

I'm still picking up support equipment.  Here's a good resource for the FNC rifleman:  http://www.uzitalk.net/forums/ , they have a dedicated FNC forum. 

Burst fire from the FNC

09/28/05:  Brought the FNC home via the NRA range in Fairfax, Virginia.  Since I couldn't wait to fire, and hanging around until after the range closes was too long a wait, I decided that "zeroing" and full auto would be conducted separately.  Thus, I did semi auto only fire at NRA.  Very accurate, as I would expect out at 25 yards.  One FNC mag would not seat....

Upon inspection with a dial caliper, the magazine latch is significantly off with the magazine which wouldn't seat.  I did some filing, and at least I could get the empty to seat...

The Burst fire link above is from range session 2; 10/01/05 Shooter's Paradise.  I still could not get the full FNC mag from the previous session to seat.  I downloaded a round and it did seat, so maybe a little more filing.  All other magazines - 1 FNC, 3 standard, "green follower" AR mags were fine.  Of course, no malfunctions.   The 3 round burst setting is very nice to have, I like the added flexibility.  I think the FNC is a little bit heavier than the M16, but it still climbs on full auto a bit.  Even so, I thought it was very controllable.      

Two thumbs up!

Update:  May 2006
If you own, are thinking about, or are even remotely considering an FNC SEAR gun, you have to check out the Thunder in the Hills page!  With only 1 major hitch, the FNC absolutely rocked at Thunder in the Hills.  We poured ~3200 rounds through it without cleaning or lubrication, and the most frequent problem was us loading 31 rounds in the 30 round magazines.  Check out the FNC in action:

M1919 Light Machine Gun
Coming soon to my collection is a pristine condition M1919 light machine gun.  It's configured from USGI and Israeli parts, assembled by Hatton Industries. The condition appears to be test fired only.  The good thing about this gun is that can fire .308, 30-06, & 8mm Mauser.  It can also used with cloth belts and links.  This is a very expensive firearm and needs a lot of 'support' purchasing.  Belts, links, ammunition, a bipod or tripod to shoot from and of course, ammunition.
