Official Launch of FNH USA's Military Collector Series

Well, now FNH USA will have an entire line of guns with military roots. No, you won’t be seeing anything like an RPG, but maybe you can find something to break in at one of the new Gunsite classes coming in 2016 (yes, Gunsite does a lot more than just pistols). The guns launching the series are commercial versions of the M4 and M16, which were announced with the M249-S.

President and CEO Mark Cherpes is enthusiastic about the new line himself and said “”This new line of products allows us to showcase FN’s battle-proven legacy of producing firearms for militaries world-wide and passing this technology on to our commercial customers.” The guns will give civilians a chance to get their hands on commercial-market-friendly versions of military firearms and veterans the opportunity to take a walk down memory lane.

The new guns are set to ship during the coming winter and should be for sale during the first quarter of 2016. Although the M4, M16, and M249-2 are the only three we can confirm today, there will be others coming.
