FAMAE SAF & Mini SAF
These Chilean made firearms are made following a proven SIG design and bear a resemblance to the popular HK MP5 subgun. These firearms are semi-auto versions of their select-fire brethern. These guns contain modular construction and most parts will interchange between both guns. The uppers and lowers on these guns are made from stamped sheet steel. The stocks on the guns are a black synthetic and the overall finish is a black phosphate type finish. These fire from a closed bolt system and function strictly under the blowback design, not the HK roller-delay. The SAF series are all equipped with a last shot, hold-open device. The sights on these guns are very similar to the HK type sights with a rotary drum type rear and a hooded post up front. The rear sight has 50, 100 and 150 meter notches and is adjustable only for windage. The front sight is open on top, and the upper receiver is built to accept a quick detach type of scope mount, that is available as an option. These guns are extremely well made and very robust. The SAF takes down very quickly without the need for any tools. The guns point well and the accuracy with them is very good. They use a straight style magazine.
