Thanks. Me too, I can't find any of them in stock anywhere. The $169 pricepoint seems easier to handle over the Atlas $279 price (bipod and QD mount).

I don't want to have any of you curse me, but if there's any at the shop when I pick up the SCAR I'm gonna bring one home with me.

It's out now for military and law. The regular FNX 45 is out for everyone, but the tactical for civilian release is January according to reps.

I've seen someone on the FN board say it did, but when asked to confirm he hasn't replied back.

Out of curiosity how much does one if these cost and where can you find one?

both were purchased online and transferred to my local ffl. pistol from bud's gun shop and the carbine from ebr works.
$1,845 shipped for carbine
$1,635 shipped for pistol version
you're in Vegas so these should be pretty easy for you to get. mine are in California configurations ("featureless" carbine, bullet button on pistol and 6.5" barrel).
btw, the charging handle on these are very hard to rack back. it seems like some others have noted this on theirs. my co-worker who got one last week said the same thing so i'll assume this is normal and that the spring needs to wear some before it gets smoother.

I wish I could man, but I have a feeling the wife would beat me. I talk all macho and bad now, but she's scary and has mutant-man strength.

Looks like I might be in the market for an assault rifle in the near future if I'm going to beat the gun-banners.
Recommendations? I'm thinking 5.56 cal. I've heard 7.62 is a bit unweildy. I think I'd want something like a semi-auto M4 or AR. I like the HK416, but the SA version looks ridiculously expensive. Anything comparable for a more reasonable price? I've heard good things about the FN-SCAR, though I'm not sure the price is any more reasonable than the HK.
Also, want something with a lot of available attachments. Maybe a hybrid holographic sight. Foregrip. That kinda thing.

I've got a few myself. I really miss my AR from Iraq, but I currently love my Ruger SP101 .357 but a new AR is certainly on the list.

We're facing an attack on the 2nd amendment, set to take place in January in the form of a sneaky proposal to ban semi auto's. If there's a round up, I expect to see, hate to say it, lots of blood. The bill failed in November, but they were just waiting for a crisis to reintroduce it.

They are to prevent tyrany from foreign and domestic threats, and that right of mine should not, will not, be infringed upon.-

Stopped off at my local tactical firearms dealer. Looked at a DPMS/Panther Arms 5.56 AR-15. Never heard of DPMS, but the dealer said it is the least expensive military-spec AR15 out there. Gets you the most bang for your buck.
Less expensive than I expected, actually. About $750 cash price for the rifle with rail system. Retractable stock. Messed with it for a few minutes. Seemed like a solid weapon. Didn't get the chance to test fire.
Any thoughts on DPMS/Panther Arms AR15? How does it compare to Colt or Bushmaster?
