picked it up today and thought id share some pics and would like to hear your pinions on this rifle. im no ar15 expert but in my eyes this is a very nicely built rifle
by the way im digging the white logo allot...sorry  i also got the carbine version, and theres a thread on it already
only marking i could find on the length of the barrel to the fsp 
|
| I fired mine yesterday and it's a nice rifle. Does anyone know if the barrel stampings match the military M16 barrel?(since FN makes military M16's too). I matched it with some older FN barrels and the font and FN symbol were different. Wondering if new M16 barrels match the pictures posted here. |

They're not the same at all, I have an A4 upper whose markings are completely different. FNH produces these while FNMI in SC makes them for the military. William |

The one I got to play with also had a plastic trap door, though so is the Colt A4. The bolt carrier had no markings as did the extractor, the bolt had a odd MP marking on it, not the normal F carrier, F extractor and MPF bolt. I wasn't impressed but, to each his own.

OP nice rifle. I'm still not sure why Colt or FN couldn't build a proper semi A4 but it's still bitchin.
As for the logo I view it as a non issue. 1. Flat black rattle can the billboard logo away 2. Visit a trophy shop with a computer controlled industrial fiber laser ( it can engrave to factory depth ) 3. Show them the FN govt. rollmark/scan it in 4. Have the laser blast it in, FN was kind enough to leave you plenty of room. Darken it immediately with alumiblack or leave it raw if you are a badass. Make sure the operator doesn't alter the serial number. Make sure he does not inhale the Alumiblack before setting up your project. 5. For maybe 20 minutes time, $20 to the engraver and a slight headache from the Krylon/Alumiblack you can soothe the hate on AR15.com People do the repro logos all the time on those NODAK retro guns, it would be fun on an FNH15 |
went to my local range yesterday to shoot the rifle for the first time, but to find out the 50y section was reserved for a class. so only got to shoot at the 25y pistol range. put together some handloads the night before using berger 77gr match BT/varget powder. so this is my first 15 shots yesterday using irons witha a front bag. aiming for middle target and my first 5 shot grouping indicates, then started to adjust as by stringing just to get into red. then next shot group #3=5shot. need to get on some private land to try 100y,
