I was wondering if anyone might know if the French FR-F2 sniper rifle is available in the U.S., and if so, who imports them and where can they be gotten? Also, any idea on what prices might be?
Thanks for any info. 
From what I remember, there are less than a couple dozen FR-F1s and maybe a dozen FR-F2s in the US. Most 'F2s were special order for testing and training, and the 'F1s were very limited commercial import. I’ve seen some nice replicas made with the old Mas-36 rifle and custom barrels. I had started one myself but never finished it: I had a custom 7.62 NATO barrel put on, purchased an 'F1 trigger assembly and full stock from a guy in France. I couldn’t find much details for the scope mount, fixed sights, magazine, muzzle tuner/brake or even how to attach the handguard to the receiver so I stopped for a while. Still looking, still hoping to eventually finish it. Good luck finding either; they’re beautiful rifles regardless of the origin or overall accuracy.
Thanks for the info. You mean the company that makes them for the French army doesn’t export them to the U.S.? Is there any importer where one can place a special order to have a rifle shipped in?
When you pull the trigger, does a white flag of surrender come out of the muzzle?? :D:D
Sorry, it was too easy.
FS: One fine French sniper rifle. Great condition, sharp rifling in the bore, NEVER FIRED! (but dropped once) 
haha…ha. …ah yes, that never gets old; ‘only dropped once, surrender flag, etc’. C’mon guys, have something new. Like…didja know that Cinco de Mayo is about the messicans beating the French? I thought it was independance from Spain, but it isn’t! Smoke my chorizo, that was new to me. Anyway, I’m not ragging on y’all; I like to pick on the frogs too, even dated a furry French woman once…only dropped her once. Then I dated the Irish woman!
To answer the other questions: Sarco imported the FRF1s about 20 years ago, and I don’t know of any importer in the U.S that could get one. Even if you could find an importer, the FRF1s are either sold off, demil’d, converted to FRF2 for the French (ahem) military or so beat to crap that you’d be better off with a club. Personally, I’d get a old MAS, find a good smithy, good images and measurements and make my own. Heck…I even dug out my parts and started work again!

So it’s the stupid French gun export rules that seem to be the problem. Oh well, thanks for the info.
