What type of magazines do they use?

FAL mags I assume...

It uses Item #:3108929200 Finish:Blue Caliber:308 Winchester Capacity:10 rd FN MAG AR 308 DBM 10RDMagazines for the FN 9mm, .40 cal., 308 cal., and 5.7 x 28.

 

I don't see anything about it being a FAL magazine.

 

According to their "Can we ship this to you" box they will not ship it to NJ.

It is NJ legal with the 10 round magazine. I bought this FNAR version three weeks ago, but have not taken it to the range yet.

 

CTD is probably flagging it as 'no ship' because it must go through an FFL, not direct to you.

 

The 10 round mag is FN part# 3108929200, not CTD item number. It is an FNAR .308 mag, and only FNAR.

There is a video on YouTube of the work that has to be done to take this gun down for cleaning. I'd watch it before reaching for your wallet...

Wow, I never would have guessed. Allen keys, screwdriver, lots of little screws and parts to loose. I like when he said reassembling the bolt is the "tricky" part. Way too over-complicated of a gun for my tastes.

I asked the same question awhile back, another NJGF member has one and highly recomends it. He gave me a detailed rundown on its operation. I will be buying one.

I watched one of the youtube videos, the following was a comment made by another viewer and is in line with what Hinchman told me about his FNAR. Key point is that gun does not need to be stripped down to the bolt very often.

 

 

Quoted from youtube -

I have been delaying tearing down my FNAR because of all the bla bla on the interrnet. Today I took it down while watching your video. It was EASY !!!!! Thanks for taking the time to do this video!!!

Don't let this break down keep you away from the FNAR. The action does not have to be cleaned very ofter, it's a piston driven gun. An AR is a DI gun, meaning the action should be cleaned often. Apple and oranges.

I will need to take my time when deciding what to buy including info like this on the FNAR. That is why these Forums are so helpful to be able to make an informed decision.
