Appreciate you doing an English version this is really interesting. FAMAS content is rare thank you

Proof that you can re-engineer most any weapon to suit modern needs, The combination of commercial parts and Cahppie's machinist skills makes for a good looking weapon suited to modern needs, be it combat or competition!

My wild guess is that the two pre-existing dimples in the hand guard mated with weapon storage cradles in a G-Wagon or Panhard armoured car.

Thanks for the English walkthrough of your set up. Very nice. 👍

Hi, for the hole in the bottom where you attach your rails it is here for the trigger guard : you rotate it when you want to fire rifle grenade on the ground not to hurt your finger, and for mountain trop it also serve with big gloves. That’s what we learned in the basic training of French army And for the front accessory it is to mount the “PIRAT”, the French version of an AMPEQ, I hope you will find a mount and one PIRAT to shoot with it.

Thank you Le Chap! Interesting to see how the FAMAS can be updated.

It’s cool to see how militaries force modernisation of their arms, when they were designed in a period before pic rail or STANAG. It’s similar to seeing what each of the nations who continue to use AK platforms are doing to drag a 75 year old design into 2022.

Kind of crazy to think of how little the FAMAS was iterated on throughout it's existence. Barely any ways to mount an optic, no MLOK options of any sort, and otherwise severely lacking in terms of accessory mounting. That accessory at the end is more reminiscent of an fixed-carry handle mount you would see on an M16 than something modern.

Thanks Chap, it was really interesting to see the design and construction of those parts.

Monoglots are always at a disadvantage but you are giving us a chance to learn a bit more. Thank you.

Will say one mod i did to a famas in the past was just in front of the bipod pivot point, (at a 10 o'clock position, where the front pillar of the 'upper' is) i drilled a small hole in either side, (gives options on if someone down the line wants to shoot it cackhanded) then fabricobbled a sling swivel and a nut and bolt together, making it ideal to sling in a 2/3 position sling. though depending on bolt sizes, might need to throw some washers on just so you dont accidentally rip the new front sling mount out when throwing the rifle around on a sling. (Found the SA80 sling to be quite nice on the famas actually, once i got it adjusted up properly on the 3 point i never went back to using a single point on the famas after that tweak)

Thank you for your effort in the translation to English... now can you possibly provide subtitles to translate this into American?

Thank you very much. Excellent video. Clever solution to the optic mount challenge.

Merci beaucoup, Fabian.

damn both your english and french is impressive

For the use of recess under the lower handguard, I've seen a picture where the trigger guard is swing 180° on the front hex screw axis (for shooting with winter gloves) and the rear part of trigger guard is sitting inside the recess probably to retain the trigger guard from moving

Thank YOU, good sir! Problem solved (sort of). Another option could have been to design the new handle unit to move the optic line of sight down to as close to the plane of the original iron sights, then install fold-down BIUS as backup to the glass. Ahh...but for that dastardly Bosche baksheesh, the problems might well have been solved by the VHS... 🤔

Bravo, Chappie! You made the jump to 1080p...

How hard was it to get out of Ian's hands when he was done with it?

Impressive tech

It's like a whole new rifle with all the doo-dads.

Someone needs to source Chappie the later model top covers and charging handle.... ...this also smells like a 3D printer solution

maybe the F in FAMAS now means Frankenstein(monster)

How much more does the new top cover weigh with all that steel?

Interesting

Merci.

Hello! Great video. Since you're used to the Famas, can you tell me what's the accuracy of the Famas is? Is it a 2 MOA, 3 or 4 MOA rifle?

cool

I wonder why they didn’t make the metal part of the PGMP out of an aluminium or magnesium alloy to keep the weight increase down.

Ah, very interesting, it all seems to have worked ok for you at Lynx... you seem to have tempted the armchair armourers out of their caves though!

Do you know how old a Unique x bis -51 number 106295 is ,is it a collectors rifle.thanks .

Merci beaucoup gentil Monsieur or even Mòran taing Sir

Bit stupid question but doesnt that quite high bore axis between barrel and optic cause some problems with zero when shooting distance changes from point blank to 150-300 meters ?

How do you get one ;( I live in canada

for something like this you really need to do custom work. cut down that flaring on the carry handle so it's just a flat bar on top and screw a pic rail to it. now your red dot will cowitness with the irons. get rid of the bipod and have mlok slots cut in it's place to mount a light

That is undoubtedly a RDB

Where is your Scrome J4?

Bigger and scarier question: can the accelerator lever surfaces be re-engineered to use full-fat NATO 5.56 ammo?

Finding part for this must be really difficult yeah?

German version next ?

Thanks for the vid👍👍how far is the holosun above the bore? I want a bullpup and can't decide between this or an a.u.g.

Où se trouve la version en Français ?

Is that a full auto? I see a selector switch on the buttstock and it's got the grenade launcher.

égalité!

FAMAS en anglaise.

I’m sorry but the famas although somewhat effective but it’s ugly clunky and ergonomically crap

famas bad

Jesus... Why even use this.. look how much had to be done to make a rigid sight fixture.. and how high over bore is... Why would you even wanna use this
