Smee Posted August 4, 2021 Posted August 4, 2021 Late to the party here. Just seen that at last years expo VFC announced they were going to do a GBBR FN FAL, has anyone heard anything about this ? Like an expected due date, or an SLR conversion kit Jerry Mike 1
DerDer Posted August 5, 2021 Posted August 5, 2021 Most recent detail I can remember is Red Wolf having a webchat with one of the members of the company. They were claiming a September or October release. At the moment they seem to be concentrating on their new BCM range.
MadMole Posted August 10, 2021 Posted August 10, 2021 Shame, its a VFC so the gearbox will explode in 20 seconds of use. Why o Why cant a good make do one (ICS, G&G are you listening?)

Why o Why cant a good make do one (ICS, G&G are you listening?) Wouldn't mind an aeg version, probably would replace everything bar the gearbox shell and selector plate. Could see G&G having a go at one. They have made the FNC in the past. Also the M14 and Type 64, so they have history with 7.61x51 models.
DerDer Posted February 14, 2022 Posted February 14, 2022 Was looking at one of the videos of VFC's planned releases. Everything from the BCM ARs to the MK48 is out. Still no FN, spectacularly disappointing. JamesAirsofterAgent 1
EvilMonkee Posted February 15, 2022 Posted February 15, 2022 Tell me about it........the one release I am waiting for DerDer, JamesAirsofterAgent and Druid799 3
THE CHIEF Posted February 19, 2022 Posted February 19, 2022 Ditto, and the king arms slr! Armo1000 and JamesAirsofterAgent 2
Smee Posted March 12, 2022 Author Posted March 12, 2022 It’s a real pity that no more news seems to be leaking out from vfc, it would be a good seller for them
DerDer Posted March 12, 2022 Posted March 12, 2022 Was optimistic that we might see something at Shotshow or IWA but nada. At this stage we might see a VFC carl Gustav released before their FN FAL. Druid799 1

EvilMonkee Posted March 13, 2022 Posted March 13, 2022 Just really bizarre why, as the internals will pretty much be the same as their G3 Tactical Pith Helmet 1

Possible that + COVID and the success of their other guns that are much easier to make with minimal R&D (BCM Range seems to be selling very well for example) might have put a stop to or at least a hold on this rifle. Would love to be wrong though as I'd be ordering one in day one if it ever does come out.
Armo1000 Posted March 16, 2022 Posted March 16, 2022 Not VFC, but just got this reply from King Arms. Tackle, THE CHIEF and DerDer 3
DerDer Posted April 1, 2022 Posted April 1, 2022 Seems like it's still some stage this year. From looking at their facebook account, it seems to be coming along. Their display piece is closer to a finished product. This is at one of the MOA shows. EvilMonkee and Skullchewer 1 1
Crazy_Crystal Posted April 1, 2022 Posted April 1, 2022 (edited) I know they mentioned Q3 last year. so I suspect they found another issue or something came up in production. At least it proves that they haven't given up on it. I'm still really hoping it arrives soon though. would be even nicer to have one in wood or even better an L1A1, but I'd take any FAL/SLR at this point... Edited April 1, 2022 by Crazy_Crystal

C-Diddy Posted April 2, 2022 Posted April 2, 2022 AATV posted a bunch of stuff yesterday: https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=382089983923495&id=100063674885797
Crome Posted April 2, 2022 Posted April 2, 2022 https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1442805836?t=0h13m55s It also features in the VFC stream of MOA from this morning. Sadly no shooting demo today that I saw but the 733 looks sweet.
Crazy_Crystal Posted April 2, 2022 Posted April 2, 2022 On the topic of MoA I managed to get a few details from someone who is there and has been talking to the VFC reps. Current thinking is a release sometime around July (I have little faith in that bit unfortunately) the price has also been aimed at 19800 TWD which is around £530 plus tax at current exchange rates. Materials wise it sounds like it's mostly steel, including the bolt however, interestingly they've chosen not to apply the full trademarks to keep costs down. All in all it sounds fairly promising and definitely a rif that I'll be trying to get my hands on when they do come out ? EvilMonkee, Jacob Wright, Cannonfodder and 1 other 4
EvilMonkee Posted April 3, 2022 Posted April 3, 2022 Thanks for the update. Couldn't care less about trades and good to have a release date at least pencilled in.
