FK upper receiver, FNMI A2 barrel assembly, FN BCG with MPF bolt, carrier and barrel reparked by ADCO
Lower is a McKay Enterprises. Ident Markings did the FN logo and US property markings as well as adding "burst". Came out pretty nice I think.

I'd pay good money just to sit on that famous couch.

Beautiful rifle.

How much did Ident charge for the engraving? I've got a gray "a2" I just built (started my own thread above)... and would love to go "all FN" with the apropriate markings.

$85 for the FN logo and US property markings, and $40 to add the "burst" markings.

I thought McKay's receivers were marked safe, fire? How did you get a safe, semi?

Where did you get the FN carrier?

How does she shoot compared to your Colt A2?

McKay Enterprises A2 lower from Nodak Spud (They're marked safe and semi)

I just put a WTB ad for an FN BCG in the EE, another arfcommer sold it to me (complete with FN bolt) for $105
Haven't had a chance to take it to the range yet

Maybe the first purchase were marked fire, but I'm guessing for subsequent orders semi was specified due top popular demand.

I dunno..... mine's a pretty low serial number (00067X).

Sweet. I never saw one that didn't look like someone had taken a belt sander to it.

Looks good but why didn't you get the faux sear pin hole engraved.
