Thanks for the kind words Cyber.

I dunno if I'd call myself an "expert" on the FS2000, but I appreciate the gesture haha

My ultimate goal(s) with the FS have been reliability and durability.

So far I feel that the most essential mods to the FS2000 are the removal of the firing pin buffer spring (ONLY if your gun has light primer strikes) and the Judochop metal charging handle. You can play with lights, optics, etc til the day is done, but these two mods will ensure both reliability and durability.

Now that I have gotten those two issues ironed out, I have moved on to more "luxury" modifications like sighting and rails, etc.

I'm gonna paste in a tidbit from another post I made earlier:

I was lucky enough to pick up a set of authentic HK 416 sights with a universal HK rear sight drum. I paid 125 out the door, they normally cost about 350.

I have seen pics of guys running Magpul, Troy, etc backup sights that sit even higher than these sights, so I figure if those work alright, why shouldnt these?

I have the factory FN iron sights perfectly zeroed, so Im not going to mess with those until Im sure the HK sights will work to my satisfaction. The extreme change in sight radius on top of the FS2000 might throw things off, but I dont know yet.

I left the standard FN front sight on the gun for height comparison. Here are some pictures of what HK416 sights look like on the FS2000.

I will update once I am able to get to the range and put them to the test. If they work well I will remove the FN front sight and move the 416 sight up to the front of the rail, and re-install the Aimpoint using a higher mount.

ETA: these pics also give a look at the metal charging handle for those of you who havent seen it.
