Well I finally got my FN 2000, BUT to my surprise the muzzle brake has a pin? Obviously I want to either change the muzzle brake and or add a suppressor to it, I contacted FN and they told me that If I remove this PIN it will VOID my warranty on my FN 2000? What is up with that, a muzzle brake will void my warranty?
Anyone know what is up with FN? I have several of their products, never knew that changing or adding to your muzzle brake will void a warranty, quite a turn off? Any comments or feedback is appreciated, I still love it but wow this took the excitement out of it, is sort of like having a Ford Mustang Cobra and been told I cannot go over 55 miles an hour because it will void the factory warranty? get it.... thanks arfcom members.... |
| yes fn is weird they will sell military weapons to us but with restrictions, i had to chop a ps90 barrel for a customer of mine so he could have a cmmg 12" barrel, ruined a perfect barrel because it was pinned. also when ps90 came out they refused to sell anyone spare trigger packs becuase they were scared people were converting them to full |

I want to be able to purchase spare parts. SIG's response was "if you manage to break it, send it in". I don't care how much pride or faith you have in the weapon, it's a mechanical device, it's going to need something replaced eventually. Your company may not be able to sell here 10 years from now, and I'm stuck with a broke weapon? I think not! My moma drowned them kids. Find another sucker! Rant off: Good luck OP. |

Parts for the FS2000 ARE available through Brownells, That is all! Brownells or Browning? Haven't seen them on Brownells site (doesn't mean they don't have them) but I know you can now get some parts via Browning. This wasn't the case when I was interested in purchasing one. ETA: Browning parts info in this thread |
| ok thats a lie, i just got off the phone with a guntech from borwnells who clearly stated they never will or have parts for the fs2000. so stop telling lies dont balieve me call 1800-741-0015 ask for a guntech. like i said fn makes great guns and im sure you can get some parts from somwhere but they will not sell you a trigger pack last i checked when i called them(fn that is). misinformation??? im a gunsmith who uses brownells all the time greatest place for parts but like i said they do not sell fn fs2000 parts... ok sorry for being so blunt i dont mean to be a jerk, it just gets me a little upset when i am told im lieing or making misinformation |

Also, FN parts department will sell you some parts. I don't know if you can buy hammer packs from FN, CMMG sells them, for a premium. ETA: CMMG only sells p90 parts, my mistake |

You can buy just about any wearable replacement part for a FS2000, however some of them are very expensive... for the record it's Browning.
If you have the money just buy a replacement barrel for your FS2000 and get it setup the way you want... threaded etc. These guys sell them: http://www.hi-desertdog.com/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId=109 Besides that way you can get exactly what you want...the twist, length, style(black/stainless), threaded... |

Wow, good link on the barrels. Not FN but still! About 2 months ago when I called Browning to order some other parts she was not showing the barrel as an available item. Don't know if that's changed. FN fs2000 barrels are not made in the USA and as per new ATF regulations cannot be imported unless as part of a complete rifle |
