Hi all,
I have an old FN 243. For the age of this gun, it is overall an awesome firearm. I inherited this from my Dad many years ago. My primary complaint is 2 fold. If I am at the range, and only manually inserting, and chambering 1 round at a time, I have to physically push the rear of the ramp down with my finger, in order to slide the bolt forward. If I fully load the gun, the 1st, 2nd and 3rd rounds will feed and eject perfectly. But when the 3rd round ejects, the ramp pops up, and the 4th round will literally fall out, every time. (Same thing would happen if I only loaded 2 or 3 rounds). Last one, will literally fall out.
All input is helpful. I shot 60 rounds through this old girl the other day. Other than the feed problem, it is the most accurate firearm I have ever shot out to 200 yards.
