On the top rifle, were not sure yet how to classify it yet. What I mean by that is that is it an AR variant or something new as it uses AR15 barrels, bolts, recoil system, trigger groups and mags. Nearly everything inside is AR, so its basically an AR just repackaged in something completely different looking.
This size is in the .223, so any caliber that works in that size AR will also work in this. It does use HK style pins for take down and bipods can be attached directly to the top or side of the scope rail. |

That top one has a very WA2000 look to it.
 Obviously not gonna be the same, but looks enough alike it that I'm mighty interested in that. |

That 9mm looks like it needs iron sights. Maybe a KAC folding rear sight.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Here is the latest short version of the Fg9 with all walnut wood, we have made a couple changes and still have a couple more cosmetic changes left but nothing major. Also in the photo is the other rifle we have been working on, its a multi cal for those who like something different. https://www.troupsystems.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/main-rfg-combo.jpg That looks great! Are all the guts proprietary besides the trigger group & safety? Will there be a provision for adding a front sight? |

If you make a 556 version of the fg9 I'm in on day one!
(I know it goes against the concept, but a bottom feed fg9 in 556 would be too cool.) |

Quote HistoryQuoted: That looks great! Are all the guts proprietary besides the trigger group & safety? Will there be a provision for adding a front sight? The firing pin is AR15, we use our own ejector and extractor. First ones are made of something called AR500-rather tough stuff. We were at Shot and did have a request for 22 TCM, if we can get the ammo to work in the current mag it will be very easy addition. We dont have this ammo on hand currently but do have 22 barrel blanks on hand. |

Just got the 22TCM ammo in, its going to require a different magazine/mag well so we will put that one on the slow burner.
A real bummer as the ammo is really neat looking and pretty low cost. We will be running new tools next week for the FG9. |

Looks like we will only get enough for media and distributors this month.
The flow of some of the raw material we need is taking longer than we thought. Were expecting March to be the month for full production. |

When you have some production rifles built, please share some more photos with us.
Are you still planning on the first rifles to not have an integrated rail? |

Looks like all the first ones will have scope rails integral. Only a couple prototypes will not have them.
The original extrusion we made several years ago-without the rail, was not very square so we ditched all of it. I am hoping to have pics up next week of part of the mfg process. Efficient machining has come a very long ways in the last 4 years or so with some very neat 4th axis tooling as they call it. Its very neat stuff for the machining crowd. In between the crap weather and colds the shop is behind a couple weeks. We actually had to revert back to the WW2 method for making some of the wood. We had an idea on how to do it, but somebody here posted a video on making the BAR rifle. That confirmed what we were thinking. |

Here are a couple pics of a test mule. The barrel on this does not have the final profile, just a spare we had around the shop. We will be adding wood to this over the next week along with the final barrel profile. On the barrels, we have a new supplier making great barrels and a really nice 11 degree crown. Machining has a long way to go on what you see in the pics and the cocking handle is missing.

We were able to get a couple preproduction rifles together for the show. It was a great show for us and we did get a spot on the Classic Firearms Vid updates for day 3.
I will try to get some pics posted, the rifles are coming together-finally. A big thank you to everyone who stopped by the booth, including the other vendors/suppliers. |

We are in the middle of ramping production up, which is always a challenge. Its a darn slow process as we make a couple tweaks each day to everything.
The barrel threads have been switched to 1/2-28 and the HK style take down pins have increased in size. The rail below the barrel has been shortened to make room for suppressors(thanks to a recommendation from SilencerCo for that one). The first ones should be going in for hard anodization late next week. Its not easy to post pics |

Been getting a lot of trigger time in on the FG9. Just trying to find the right balance on the recoil springs so it fires the broadest range of ammo it can. Weak ammo does not like to eject well with the full power springs.
So far it seems to feed everything we can give it. Mags dont like to seat with an even number of rounds, but an odd number is just fine. I think we are weeks away from shipping the first ones. |

Racing like mad to get them flowing nicely but it will always be a limited production rifle. Another update, were not that great with the red dot. Will be switching to a normal scope soon. Waiting on a Burris or Luepold pistol scope to try out too. |

Last little details are slowing us down a bit, but expecting a good bit of shipping on the FG-9 next week.
We will also start work on a 5.7*28 version using the Ruger 57 mags. This should be a very simple addition to the FG-9 |

We are 10mm fans big time, but thats just too powerful for this design. I was one of the first buyers of the Delta Elite and yes the Norma ammo was HOT!
Pricing should be around $850. For those on the wait list, were trying to firm up $850+SH now, they also get true low SN #s and first dibs. The distributors get second dibs and higher SN#s for those into that sort of thing. Looks like the distributors will absorb all we can make, which is not many. The 5.7*28 is a stepping stone to .223, the mock up is pretty hot looking. |
