From the Vault: FN FNC 5.56 Rifle
This video from Rock Island Auction Company showcases a semi-automatic civilian variant of the FN FNC 5.56 NATO rifle. Hosted by Keith Ford and Paul Levy, the discussion delves into the FNC's heritage, tracing its lineage from the FN CAL and its influence on the FN SCAR. Key features highlighted include an FAL-style folding stock and pistol grip, AR-15 style receivers, an adjustable gas block, an AK-47-like long-stroke piston system, and a lower receiver and firing mechanism shared with the SCAR. The video also touches upon the FNC's piston system similarity to the FN Minimi/M249 SAW and its use of STANAG 4179 magazines, interchangeable with M16 magazines. The FNC's military adoption by Belgium, Sweden, and Indonesia is also mentioned.
