All of the "Lightweights" I've seen were 1980's or 1990's vintage XTR's and were pushfeed. The ones stamped "Carbine" were the same rifle with 20" barrels.

I think FN is offering a current model with a shorter barrel and CRF. Unless mistaken it is called the Compact. Very similar to the current Featherweight but with a 20" barrel. The stock dimensions MAY be reduced as well but I'm not certain.


Most people don't really want the truth.

They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.
