Does anyone have a line on original mags for the FNC?

AR-15 mags fit and feed but do not drop free...can they be used? I have a couple of Thermolds that function...are these dependable enough to bet your life on?

Rich,
I had the chance to use some FNC's about ten years ago. I recall that they were designed to use M-16 mags per Nato specs. That is what I used and did not have any problems.

AR-15 magazines work fine in my FNC. No idea where to find original FNC mags, but I'd say they'd be too expensive if you did find them...

Rich,

Hey, unfortunately the guy who was big with the FNC parts- is nowhere to be found (Dana Reed, TBMP)- he's not a very honest business man. The only other people who I know of that deal with FNC parts are Cole Distributing (the IMI ammo guys)- from what I understand they do deal with FNC parts. They have a web site, don't know the exact address though- a search engine might be able to find it( If I come across it, I will post it).
