The FN FNC holds a special place in my heart, as it was my issue weapon in the military. To make it run in the extremely low temperatures we sometimes experienced was a challenge. Owning one, even in its civilian appearance, is close to impossible where I live. And even if I found one, it would probably be priced above my range. The FN Herstal FNC Sporter in .223 Remington holds significant collector value due to its limited production and importation, military lineage, and association with Cold War-era firearms development.
