| I'm looking at an FS2000 picture. The ejection port is way up at the front of the rifle, I'm guessing a foot or so from the barrel breech. How do the empties go from being extracted from the chamber to ejected from the port? |
| It is transfered by a nylon "elivator" as the empty casing is extracted from the chamber it is forced into the elivator, then as the bolt comes foward again inserting a new bullet into the chamber the elivator lifts the empty casing and posisitions it in the ejection port and an attachment on the bolt forces the empty casing into the tube as the bolt comes foward to the closed posision. |

Nothing actually carries the round through the tube. The case sits in the tube, then another comes and pushes it forward untill they reach the end. When you first fire the gun nothing comes out of the ejection port.Only after you shoot a few do they start coming out and when they do 2 or three will come out at once. If you were to keep the ejection port cover closed you could probably get 3-4 shots off with no ammo droppings, then it would probably jam. GlenR |
 NO! it would not. |

I read somewhere that FN tested it with mud in the ejection port and the ejecting shells pushed the mud out. What caught me off guard when I fired mine for the first time was after I would stop firing and pointed the muzzle down one or more empty cases would fall out. |
