We will take that with a healthy dose of sarcasm as I am sure it was intended ... the 1A1 cross breed mutt, is the result of direct and total rip off of Fn's copyright's, perhaps by blending Metric and Inch design features they though they would get away with it!

They didn't, were forced to eventually pay some money to Fn and place orders for inch pattern (and metric?) rifles as part of the agreed settlement.
