FNC Parts/Accessories

[Tankboy]

Oh really? That’s pretty awesome. Interesting we never see surplus parts of those either.

You mean on the Indo parts or the Belgian Army lower?

On the Pindad SS1 you can see a thread here http://www.uzitalk.com/forums/showt...indonesian-Pindad-SS1-V1-part1&highlight=paco

I was referring to surplus parts/parts kits for Indo rifles. I love that thread! Thanks for sharing. I’m excited to be getting original military parts for my rifle.

Did you manage to reach Fuatos?

You can check out all the differences between the FNC sporter and the original ABL M3 FNC here: http://www.uzitalk.com/forums/showt...an-Army-FNC-M3-rifle-accesoiries-mods-details
Lots to collect ; )

From Bayonets to optics, burstassy to the new style safetyselectors. Slings, tools, manuals...
You got yourself a new hobby...

I sent him a message today personally. I am not sure as far as Tankboy.

For my part, I'm well aware of the differences between the two (60eme Prom 1ere Ecole Royale des Sous Officiers ). I have had a few years behind the stock of an ABL FNC prior to coming to the US. This is definitely a hobby for me and a souvenir of time gone by. I am actually planning to re-shoot an NTTC FNC module this September for the 15 years anniversary of joining the army! This should be interesting!

I haven’t checked that thread yet Paco, I definitely will though, and I have managed to contact fuatos! He’ll be getting back in touch with me soon in reference to the parts I’m looking for.

I hope you have a very high credit card limit. Lol the bipod isn’t going be cheap.

 

[tdeneve]

I was lucky to get a bipod with one of my FNC

 

[Tankboy]

Lol, we’ll see what’s available.

I was you guys 6 years ago...got an FNC and bought spare parts from fuatos- my recommendation is buy anything he is willing to sell that you can afford- spare parts are dwindling I’m afraid, and while I may never need some of the spare parts I have I’m happy to have them and it is good insurance in case something fails in the future.

I bought a FA FNC in 2014 and a year later bought a complete semi version just to have a spare of everything. At some point I'm probably going to sell both but only as a package deal.

 

[Tankboy]

Thanks for the insight Davises.

 

[Tankboy]

I'll probably pick up a semi too.

It's possible to mount the bayonet lug/adapter on the sporter FNC barrel while retaining the sling loop correct? Looks like it is, but figured i'd make sure anyways.

The Bayonetlug is held in place with 2 pins. Part 116+117.
In order to "fix" it on your barrel you need a halfmoon hole drilled in the barrel.
So, can it be done, yep, if you have a dremmel or some skills.

Ok cool.

Don't use the tubular FAL bayonet, the scratch up your flashhider.
Also, Belgium never used that tubular bayo ever officialy on the FNC

My 2 cents

Noted, thanks Paco.
