We have another video for you today, this time on the FN FNC carbine. These were developed in the 70s and 80s, and saw some limited military and commercial success. We have a civilian US-imported one, and we’ll take a look at how it functions and disassembles.

Thanx !
I have two .. I sure haven’t forgot this weapon!! At auctions they sell for $3000 to $4000 now, that’s hardly “forgotten”!
the fixed firing pin and the method of removing the bolt head remind me of the M249 SAW (also a FN product), the minor difference being the number of lugs of course. In the m249 it makes sense to me because it is an open bolt weapon, but i cannot see any reason to have a fixed firing pin on a closed bolt like the FNC. I wonder why they went that route.
