Chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO / 223 Remington, the F2000 carbine is gas-operated and uses a rotating bolt lockup for reliability and greater accuracy. The F2000 comes equipped with a 1.6x optical sighting package. It has a 15.75" cold hammer-forged MIL-SPEC barrel and muzzle brake. Fired cases are ejected to the right through a forward port away from the operator. The fully-ambidextrous polymer stock is available in matte black. 30-round detachable box magazines (DBM) are standard.
