I didn't knew , but the FAL was also one of the favorites of the US-Army , but after financial speculation it was the US-M14 . Here more about the story => https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/FN_FAL

-Other companies were scared to even partially export to US due to 922R compliance. FN is one of the first to do it w/ meeting the compliance. -FN offers all the stuff we like P90/PS90, Scar series, FNX Tac, F2000/FS2000, even semi version of M249Saw soon. -Very very light weight. I carried FS2000 at work due to lightweightness, then changed it to SCAR16 my final years. (again due to weight. even 1/2lbs will feel like 20lbs after long hours of work) NOTE: please do not ask where i worked. I am still physically recovering from a job I quit yrs ago. |

I don't recall removing it, some mod must've removed it. Anyway, I haven't shot any older HKs, but the only gun I've owned was a USP .45, but even then I rarely took it to the range; most of the time it sat in my nightstand since it was more so for self defense since the peóns decided to raid the upper middle class neighborhoods, and I wasn't going to let some guy with a crack fix steal anything from me, and I still regard it as a good gun.

I just can't carry DA/SA anymore. It has to be SingleAction or Strikefire type. With that said, VP9 is strikefired, and I love P30 (except da/sa). |

Several years back I heard from FN (because I have a friend that works at FN) that the US was not happy about the fact that FN delivered arms to a not friendly country from the US . And so the US-Army looks also elsewhere,but for FN it's all about money and not about human interests or human lives . But it's for sure that for FN things can be really complicated in case of countries in warfare . But the only truth is that FN makes money with killing people worldwide , because they make the arms and the munitions to do it.... Of course they don't pull the trigger , they only make it .

. . Yes, that is called "Buying Power." US did that to Steyr Mannlicher around 2006-7ish as well, because Steyr Sold HS50 to Iran. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worl...from-Iran.html http://www.longwarjournal.org/archiv...iper_rifle.php US somewhat halted the AUGA3 importation due to that. Then I don't know what happened after that, and they allowed Steyr Mannlicher to allow AUGA3 to be imported. Importing those neutered "sporting arms" is lucrative business. However, importing/exporting used "accessories" are far far more profitable (within compliance and ITAR reg). I know this area really well, because I am "self-employed." |

It is still can be done. ROK is probably going to have a small arms refresh fairly soon, and all the Daewoos we can unassemble and reassemble with some US made part to make it 922r comp would be nice. Since I am not rich enough to drop $20mil+ PLUS having the huge metal molding/millwork factory, I can only put $ as an small partner at best.
Remember all these small re-importation companies are making huge bucks. When I have time, I will write a story about hk91 mag import story and AI accessory stories. *ka ching!* |

Yeah, US has a buying power. They probably gave them ultimatium. Do you want to sell 250,000 units to US civilian + some mil? Or do you want to sell 40,000 total unit to all the conflicting nations? |

I forgot who but I think it was CDNN who bought bunch of those from German military and made consumers happy. Those use to cost $40-45 ea around after '94. Yeah, daewoos are more of a collector's now. Not too many imported during 90s. I would love to be the one who flood the US market with daewoo after ROK refresh. Of course, I need $$$ to do so. |

I am in a SUPER creative mood today. Somebody give me an idea for something to build! I am going to be making a lower rear diffuser once I have 3 solid days. Last weekend I built an elevated Jalapeno garden in my back yard. I'm in the mood to build something else today/tomorrow! Let's hear the ideas!!!

This thread is really popular, I wish I had the willpower to read it all and catch myself up.

More downforce at high speed corner by steering. Less to no downforce at a straight? (just like DRS). etc. |

Personally, I'm the opposite; I prefer DA/SA with a visible hammer and left decocked with safety on, that way the effort of making it easily fired might just save the bitch-ass intruder's life when he's already pissing his pants at the sight of my .45 (whereas I'd shoot first, ask questions, or even face consequences later if it was an SAO with only a safe action), or prevent me from impulsively shooting my crazy mom if she tosses Intelius on me again and shows up like she's frickin' Cosmo Kramer.
