One day , my book is ready...

Also, the document is adjusted regulary, and i don't think i can paste the pics in the PDF.

[paco]

Next chapters are online. Just scroll a bit lower to the existing articles.
If somebody know how i can insert a post under my previous post, please explain me.
I'm limited to post 20 pics max and 25000 characters in a single post.

If all goes well, i start to work (full time) in a ballistic lab. I hope to get some good slomo pics and movies on the FNC. They got a ton of those!

Always enjoy watching the dust cover dance in slow motion.

I'm always impressed how hard a FNC, FAL or AK bends on each shot.
there is a complete sinus wave going trough a barrel and it sweeps like it is a whip...

I’m just waiting for paco to put all this in a book, maybe something we can get printed up and bound at Kinkos.

I start on september 1st in pole position to do more research.
Back in active duty ; )

Paco, I have a question about the rear sear.

One of my FNC's has a solid pin on the left side instead of the cupped hand. My other FNC and a spare sear also have the cupped hand.

Both are Howcos. Could it be an early piece? I didn't see anything like it in this threads pics.

[paco]

Can you post a picture on your sear cup and pin?

Also, just found a new proto type Cal-FNC in an army vault.
Interesting, pics soon ; )

Here you go paco…

Standard

Does the firing pin sit in the bolt carrier group, or does it rest inside of the bolt itself?

It sits in the carrier by a pin. However, a few prototypes had a firingpin in the bolt. Check my thread.
