Guys:
Slightly off topic, but please bear with me. We have FA and SA versions of the FNC. Recently noticed that the gas selector seems to have a total of four positions. With the original FN hand guard it is not overwhelmingly obvious because the guard prevents the selector from going all the way into the first and last "detents". However, going to a hand guard with more room allows the selector to go into four distinct positions, basically 9, 10, 2, and 3 o'clock. Always thought there were two positions, normal and enhanced for more gas if the system was compromised.
Does anyone have any idea what is going on with the first and last detents? Both the SA and the FA gas selectors seem to have the same attributes. Have not had a chance to test at the range and see what difference it makes. Any thoughts, comments, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
