To complete the story, I was told once by FN that the 1st Express rifle ever made was a special gift to a celebrity (who ?), with no intent to go into production. That single rifle got such a publicity that it created enough demand for FN to start making them on special order. The original CCS25 has always remained a custom shop project. Inventory was low, prices very high and waiting time quite long. Each rifle was issued with an authentification certificate identifying the craftsmen who worked on the rifle.
