ok I'm pretty comfortable with pistols but am looking to expand in a long arm.
now I'm a petit (5' 1") woman so the AK's M-16's popular with a lot of guys are not for me. I just feel overwhelmed.

A local gun shop I trust has the FN PS90 and I was wondering if people here had input. I saw about a year ago(see I can use the search feature) a gentlman here liked it and thought it was worth the cost. the biggest concern was the possibility of some anti-gun lobby making the ammo illegal.

The light wieght and bull pup design fits my hands more easily than bigger rifles and I will admit to having an liking ofr the odd ball look of the thing.

My biggest concern is loading the ammo in the mag as it turned sideways. I would think anything other than a straight feed addsto the potential for a screw up but no one else thinks it's an issue and seems to cite the quality of FN design.

So what, if anything do people think?
