In true form anyone here with connections with the firearms industry seems intent to find a reason to fault the effort of this post, so, we might as well talk guns. I have held the FS2000 and dry fired it. I was pretty disappointed with the trigger, but, I have never had any significant trigger time with it or obviously never had to live with it. You would think that any problems would come from the ejection system; I do have a Kel-Tec RFB and I L-O-V-E it even more than I thought I would. The ejection system does the same function; However, because I am not as familiar with the FS2000, I can not say that they have common designs.
As with the RFB, it would be expected to have "growing pains" with any new design and in my personal opinion, it is high time to move away from the decades old designs of the AR platform (a good one). I am 100% a bullpupophile all day long, the basic presentation makes too much sense not to exploit to it's fullest. The trigger on the RFB is not q-u-i-t-e as sweet as the trigger on the Armalite Super SASS; However, for a bullpup's inherent tendency to have some of the worst triggers in existence, I think George Kellgren did a very good job with this rifle. His production and distribution plan drives me up the freaking wall, but, I have had really good customer service with KT.
So I am curious as to your misgivings on the FS2000, most of the reviews I read were pretty good and I want to say that several countries even picked it up as there service rifle. I also would like to know how you clear it. For me to do a version of SPORTS on the RFB has me imitating a pretzel and the difficulty in observing the condition of the chamber area is the big downfall of the designs on both.
