Post your questions for FN here - Limited to the first 10 questions.

I hate to nag, but here are a couple of housekeeping rules for the Q&A session:

1. Each person can ask 1 question. This has been ignored by some members in the past - but there will be multiple Q&A sessions in the future. You can get your other questions answered at future sessions. If you ask multiple questions, only the first question will be considered.

2. Please be courteous in the wording of your question, even if you are upset about a particular issue.

Once again, thanks to FNMan for taking the time to answer member's questions. That is very nice of him! :?

-------------------------
QUESTIONS:

1. Will short barreling a PS90 with a barrel from CMMG void the factory warranty on a PS90? What if CMMG does the work themselves?
Yes, We are sorry but it will void the wty.

2. What new things can you tell us about the SCAR that isn't in the standard press releases? Not much, it is pretty complete.

3. Will you offer a compact or subcompact FNP45, and if so, when?
Early '09 should see a complete line of sub-compacts.

4. Can you give us detailed information about the SS198 ammunition? There have been many rumors since the Shotshow about what the round is and if it is restricted or not.
It is a SS195 loaded to MAX velocity as a training/duty round for law enforcement. It is restricted by FNH, not the ATF and is available only through FNH USA Law Enforcement Distributors. It is available to agencies as well as individual officers.

5. What will be the overall length of the civilian legal carbine and rifle-length SCAR's (L and H) with the stock folded? 28"

6. I see the FNH-USA Website is listing 15 round magazines for the FNP-45 - How do we go about ordering them? You can order them through any dealer who can get them from a distributor.

7. Will there be an SAO version of the FNP-45 and if so, when? No, but we will have a DA/SA witha manual safety in about 60 days.

8. How many FPS does SS198 go through a Fiveseven? P90? PS90? I don't have that data yet.

9. Is FN working with any of the holster manufacturers to create a holster for the FNP-45? Blade-Tech has holsters available now and we are sending out plastic mock-ups to the other holster companies.

10. Any plans for a 10mm FNP Not at this time.

SHipwreck is asking a question about SBR. That is a good sign. Pres. Hillary and VP. Obama are going to tell you "NO" if you wait too long.

Please discuss the SCAR-L or SCAR-H. Is there anything else you can tell us that we don't know from press releases, web site, and other public informaiton? More information on the SCAR system would be sweet. What new information can you tell us as your loyal fans of all things FN?

I love the new FNP 45, but man it's big, but when will you offer it in a compact and/or subcompact? Thanks, Keep up the good work.

Since SHOT SHOW is over with now and details of SS198 have been floating around on other web sites. Can you give us "official" details about this round?

I see the FNH-USA Website is listing 15 round magazines for the FNP-45. How do we go about ordering them?

When will the Flat Dark Earth FNP-45s be available?

Thanks for you continued support of the site!!!

I'd like to ask if FNM is working with any of the holster manufacturers to create a holster for the FNP-45.

10mm

Any plans for a 10mm FNP since it often shares frames with .45 ACP weapons.

In re: #2, I'd like to know if old-school black will be an option. I recall this originally being denied as an option for the PS90, only to have it come online later on.

Well, all 10 slots are filled - sorry. When we do the next one, feel free to ask. We have an arrangement with FN to just do 10 questions at a time.
