as a shooter: what is your opinion on a fake FN

[mightymouse]

they are not clones, but simply parts guns. FN slides and markings, just not pure.

I would not be so sure. FEG did make some guns that they marked as FN-made guns and then sold to some client in the Middle East (Iraq, perhaps?). Such guns are mentioned occasionally on the various Hi Power forums. They may be marked FN on the slide, but it is far more likely that they were made entirely in Hungary by FEG and only marked FN. As your thread title suggests, they probably are fake FNs. I seriously doubt that someone was mating FN slides to FEG frames. Again, these are likely the "bogus FNs" (made by FEG) of Hi Power lore.

You can buy with confidence from Cole's. I purchased two MKIII's from him. Both were parkerized military guns, other than looking a little worn, both shot great!!

P.S. Spend a little more and get the real thing, even at the prices he ask's, your still getting a great deal!!

What ldp4570 said. As cheap as Coles prices them, buy the Mk III,
