I don't think Todd reads this thread anymore. Better bump it back up, just incase.

Guys,
I am still here. Still playing alittle bit of catch up with things. The kits still have not arrived and I hope this week I will get FIRM answer as to when. There 1 day past due right now, not a big deal but I wanna know just as much as you guys do. I scrolled pretty fast through the 6th page, the guy that asked about getting the rifle shipped instead of PU that is fine, just gotta pay ship and send FFL. I think Orin has closed and has started sending invoices out so this might be a repeat. Guys that have purchased sear guns, dep is due now $4k balance when gun is ready. Transfer of the sear starts when all the sear gun guys payments are in and I have them.

Thanks Todd@ORF

hey Todd, I know your a busy guy, but how about an update in the RF5 group buy. Let us know how things are going and maybe even a picture of the current receiver. A lot of us have put a lot of money into parts kits and your receiver; please keep us updated.

SO........... ORF web site says they are shutting down building anything for entire month of MARCH.
How does that effect the FNC project?
Perhaps we shouldnt be targeting a certain month and maybe switch to a certain year for shipping to start?

Is there any way to confirm this? I've yet to receive anything.

I have closed the buy but have only sent invoices to those that are buying guns with sears. I only did this because of the looooong time that it takes for those guy's paperwork.

The remaining group buy members will be sent invoices when ORF tells me that the kits are actually enroute to ORF. I just don't want to send out invoices, have your checks and CC info here, then find the kits are delayed for whatever reason.

Thanks,
Orin

Selfishselfness(What ever),

You have NO FUCKING idea as to what XM... and the rest of us on the RF5 Group Build have been going through over the past 16 months so why in the FUCK don't you just keep you're uninformed fucking punk-ass face closed!

We have sat for over 9 months now with NO, I MEAN NONE! updates from your hero, Asshole that he is! and many have begun to wonder when and/or if they will ever see ANYTHING from ORF.

At least you receive updates! Check out the RF5 Group-Buy, the reoccuring theme is "Where is Toad Jr? God knows, we can't get toad jr to even respond as to what the status is of a project that was promissed to be completed last September! Then it was December, Then Mid-March, Now, (Well we just don't know since he ain't talking to anyone that prommissed him cash for the RF5's)

Maybe one of you can get him talking, you seem to be spending more money although I see from many of your posts that you seem to be having some trouble also. At least you get some kind of answer within the quarter-year, we do not! (CHeck it out for yourself!)

Hey asshole. I am in the groupbuy as well. I am willing to wait for perfection and I don't need to ask every fucking week if he is done yet. When he is done, he will obviously let us know. Have you ever heard of the Ares Shrike? If you have, you would know that people have been waiting longer than four years for it to come out. Ares Defense has my deposit, and I trust them to make a good product. If you want to bitch and complain every fucking week about "Is it out yet? Is it out yet?" don't you think that will just stress out the manufacturer? Todd knows that we are waiting on the FNC, but your bitching and complaining isn't going to do anything besides piss people off. Now why don't you go back to your fucking video games or airsofts and shut the fuck up!

I'd like to see everyone step back and take a breath.

Negativism won't help anything here as well as using an over abundance of extremely colorful language.

The Form 4 for my first fnc sear just came back last friday. A second one is on the way and I can't wait for these ORF FNC's!

Posted: 4/5/2005 8:39:01 PM EDT

[#22]

Guys,
Skinney on the FNC parts kits. No there not here yet. Will they be, YES! We are dealing with a exporter/importer that traded M16s for the FNCs to country X. The M16s have not been delivered in full and country X will not decommision the FNCs till they have full stock of M16s. Co making the M16s has about 60 more days left in mfg of the remander of the guns then the exporter must ship. Once they get them, everyone is happy, we get FNC kits shipped to the US! This deal has taken so long and I never figured that a AR/M16 mfg could be so slow. But we wait and they will soon appear!!!!!

Todd@ORF

Man I cant wait to see this thing finished...

Naa. It's not happening.

Turns out it was a miscommunication between an FN rep and the guy emailing them.

The semi-auto SCAR isn't even going to be out for another 2-3 years.

I just e-mailed FN about an FNC.

From THR

Damn, sorry fellas this is the e-mail I just got back from FN, appearently there was a misunderstanding between Mr. Ailes and myself.

The SCAR will not be out for several years. As far as I know there are no plans to produce the FNC. We will have the FS2000 in a civilian model also at the end of this year. The FS2000 is a Bull-Pup style in 5.56 Nato.

I was talking to a Belgian yesterday, and they mentioned that the Belgian Gov't is really anti-gun, especially for Civilians. Mentioned that it was very difficult for FN to get permission to export Military weapons to Military markets, let alone any Military rifle parts to civilians.

Todd any word saw your post on another forum that said should be some info this week on the fnc parts sets I am hanging in here have a sear and no host gun hope they show up soon

Actually made.... Their sales are not what they used to be.

FN does make allot of stuff in overseas (not Bulgian) factorys.

I guess I would say who cares what the Belgium-ese gov't thinks, FN has several factories here in the States, just make the damn things here...that way they will be 100% USA and no importation bans would exist.
KILO OUT

Last info i believe was waiting on AR builds for trade.

Guys,
The people were getting the kits through were in Europe last week. The FNCs are being dismantled. I do NOT have a ship date just yet.

Todd@ORF

Posted: 6/6/2005 9:22:41 PM EDT

[#44]

Odds of having the rifles by July?

Posted: 6/7/2005 2:15:43 AM EDT

[#45]

If they're just being dismantled, I'd say no way...prolly another 2 months out by my guess, assuming they ship soon.

take care,
Tec

Posted: 6/7/2005 3:15:02 AM EDT

[#46]

Todd, can you please tell us if the importation licence/process has been approved for these kits.
I would hope that once the kits are physically ready to be shipped, that we could get them soon after. If you are waiting import approval, I fear a long wait. Please update us.

On the subject of posts about requesting info, emailing, or doing business with the FN company:

The FNH USA company is a bad bad company. The FN Belgium company will only work thru FNH USA on products/parts for the US. Both have zero intrest in anything to do with the US consumer (not military) market and the FNC. I have first hand knowledge on how bad they are.
A year ago a person I know contacted FN sales Mr. DeMilt. A request was submitted with him for pricing and the possibility of ordering over $100,000 worth of spare parts for the FNC rifle. He explained that it was possible to fill the order and required specific part numbers to be given to him and the quantity desired.
Get lenghts and work was done submitting to him the required info. The first exchanges with him via email, faxes and phone calls were positive, but they turned worse. Calls to Mr. DeMilt became very strange, he provided no info on the status of the order. When asked about the order he would say things like he was out of town and hasnt got around to the order. It was clear that he was a idiot or that he was stringing my friend along in the hope that he would go away. Well after months and months and faxes and calls and calls, all was given up and the order was assumed not possible.
