Pardon my ignorance but would one of these be a good deal @ $950 if you were wanting a standard A2 configuration? https://fnamerica.com/products/discontinued-products/fn-15-rifle/

I don't know, but I think the A2 has a fixed carry handle.
The flat-top with detachable carry handle puts it in the A3 or A4 category, I believe.

Yes it is, I paid 1149 for my Colt a4. They told me the FN is a little more expensive.

Just before MAGA. That and the Colt a4 was hard to find, I guess they don't crank out as many.

Dave,
Yes, FN builds good AR's. For an old style, no BS A2 style rig I don't think you can do better than an FN.

I'm pretty sure FN builds all of the Military AR's now. Good as a Colt or better IMO.

I see the FN comes with a metal magazine, my Colt came with a Magpul.

That rifle for $950, scoped, could be a beautiful thing.
No flies on the FN's.

Travis I don't think you could go wrong on it. I noticed it's an HBAR. I've got a 20" HBAR frankenbuild upper. A little weighty, but not that bad. Really nice to shoot..

I don't know, a chrome lined HBAR? Carry the weight for less than stellar accuracy. I'd prefer the gov't profile but it all depends on your use I guess.

This one does not feel like an HBAR. I could pop the handguards and see I guess.
I just want it for shooting offhand with my son. I think my brother just gave $1,150 for an A4 and that's what I wanted. But if the FN is comparable I may as well get this one.
Thanks again.
Dave

If I wanted that type of configuration I would buy this FN, I don't think you can go wrong with the gun.

That extra weight of the HBAR will be great for offhand shooting. For me anyway, I like the steadying effect.
