Sweet!

Keep up the Elite work and please post some photos!

Jay when are the MK2 night sights gonna be ready?

http://www.midwestgunworks.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. Has just about all the parts for SCAR and FNP that I need, but the FiveSeven link returns nothing. Does anyone know of any similar findings that would carry FSN?

The mags are all stock and I have shot probably around 2000 rounds with the pistol.
I never had this problem before. It's like it came out of no where. I have not disabled the mag safety either...

Howdy Blue and all who read,

Does anyone have a failure to eject magazines problem with the five-seven?

They can be full or empty it doesn't matter which. I have cleaned them and also the magwell. They appear to only drop a few centimeters before stopping.

Thanks...

It is well documented that the FNP 45 magazines have produced a few feed related issues. 1. Winchester White Box C.O.A.L causing a jam within the magazine. 2. Various HP rounds failing to chamber. This post IS NOT discussing the Winchester White Box issue. I first discovered issues with a few HP rou...

Go for it dude, the race is on!

I would still advocate using Elite Ammunition's fantastic ammo assortment. There is enough documentation to cover it and prove your not some gun crazed hot head who couldn't wait to pull the trigger on the first person who pissed you off. So let me be clear, buy Elite Ammunition. Keep supporting our...

That would be terrific to use my own loads for self defense. I don't doubt you may have some evidence that they have been used without legal recourse, I am sure it's been through the system without turning into a dark cloud. I am just speaking out of the information given to me by the Houston police...

This was intended to be a proof of concept. My hope that it may help save a life or lives of someone in need and instill confidence in the performance of the FN Five-seveN and the 5.7x28. Not forgetting, to provide at least some level of education to enhance the wisdom of those who bare arms and abi...

The idea came from a former marine who had someone trying to kick down his front door along with two other armed attackers. He yelled and said he was calling the police, but they still kicked the door and were cursing and yelling threats if he did not open the door. Since they had been kicking at it...

This is a short production that demonstrates the Five-seveN and the SS197SR's ability to provide home defense in the event of a possible home invasion scenario. Questions, comments or concerns? Please, mature discussions only. No trash talking... STMNWzBgJj8 http://youtu.be/STMNWzBgJj8 Direct link a...

I agree, the shoulder is not satisfactory. How much of a margin of error is acceptable with the shoulder, .01 - .02?

Also, a light chamfer and debur or a more pronounced, which is preferable? As of so far, I give them a few quick twists and nothing more.

Im just playing it safe...

Ok I ordered one from EA. A worthy investment.

Yes I have a digital caliper.

They do look slightly different in length. Can't say why, no adjustments were made from one to the other.

They feed properly in the 5-7 acting as a "snap-cap" or inert round...

I have rolled a few dummy cartridges to verify my dies are set properly. Please, sight check my cartridges and report on any anomalous attributes.

Please add any comments, concerns or criticisms? Thanks!

I had no idea how strong simple green really is. It ate the paint off the ammo can I was soaking the brass in!

- yes they were unfortunately left in for a few hours longer than I would like to admit.
- could see the damage to a few of them right away.

Superb data, thank you gentlemen.

I was under the impression the brass would loose it's coating in the tumbler. I use the red nut media for my other brass. Too rough?

I see so much talk about simple green but it is spread all over the forum. The wiki is ambiguous concerning it so please excuse my posting of an obviously covered topic. I just still have unanswered questions. 1. Hot or Not? 2. Before and after decapping? 3. 1 part Simple green 5 parts water? 4. Soa...

I'm curious about hand loading subsonic rounds for my FiveseveN. I have mixed reports about the slide not chambering new rounds without a suppressor. Can you please confirm or deny these reports? As well as add anything else you would like with regards to the topic.

Thanks,

Looks like my C5 with a bigger moon beam. Is that a fair estimation?

Viridian C5L

Its small and light.

I have the red "doughnut" 3.5x ACOG and I have oh so happy with it. It makes so much sense not to cover the target with the reticule, (delta or chevron) now I have a little window to see the blinking eye of my targets with as I pass them love letters and whisper sweet terms of endearment.

I have owned both of the Viridian units and both are pleasing to use with the Five7. I have since parted with the X5L and I am using the C5L daily. The bigger activation button is among the obvious changes, but it poses a potential for accidental activation. No kidding, if you want to give away your...

Pew pew!

Any tips on polishing the die? Dremel?

It just seems that the decapping die strips the lacquer, am I not using enough case lube?

It's been a fairly long time since I have posted and I just want to start by sending my best regards to everyone...


This has most assuredly been covered already, but how important is the factory lacquer coating to the Five-seveN? I am aware of the importance it has regarding the P90...

I maintain faith in God to protect our right to bear arms. I'm not going to cease prayer over this matter.

I've got a 4x ACOG chambered in 5.56 from my last build. I'm now looking to trade for a similar in .308 for my SCAR. It's caused me to look at the Elcan DRs for the sole reason that it would eleminate the need to buy an additional RMR for 1x shooting. But I've never operated a weapon with an Elcan o...

Roger that. It also lacks the safety.

Not the IOM. Im aware of that variant.

I bought this game almost entirely due to it featuring the our Illustrious Five-seveN.

What is the deal with the curved trigger guard? Is it only conceptual video game modeling? Or a glimpse into the future?

Fun never-the-less.

Shoot Em Up

is... ok...

Be kind enough to send me a PM Blue... Pretty Please?

I was hoping that PM would have been a post instead. Come now Blue, fill us in. Keep this thread's heart beating...

The latest 007 movies, Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace are worth a place on this list. They will make you want a Walther P99...

I'm still looking as well, let me know if you find anything...

Any new ideas or findings for a holster for this setup yet?

Greetings again my dear friends, Its time again to clean the 5-7 after an afternoon at the range. I am considering using an ultrasonic cleaner to loosen up the fowling in the bore. Here is the deal: This is not an ultrasonic cleaner made just for firearms etc. It is originally for jewelry even optic...

I second the Otis system, I ran out of patches and started using shop towels cut into squares. The Otis is a fine system, it's worth the cash spent vs. The bore snake. My only gripe on the bore snake is that it needs to be washed and then dried. If you shoot alot like some of us, and you want to go ...

Very nice tutorial, some where down the line I figure this will bug me enough to make me do it. Maybe it's an reason to buy another Five-seveN. Or try it on my dad's. Question: Are you leaving the components unfinished like you have in the pictures? Would it do any good to blue them? For protection'...

You can find every movie so far mentioned with the above link. Free.
Legal.

Peace in the middle east...

Then I will pass for now. Till my warranty is up.

BladeRunner is a movie that has no known equal. It's in a class of it's own.

Got to hand it to John Woo and Chow Yun Fat.
-Replacement Killers
-Face Off was a decent, late date Woo film

Boondock Saints 2 was missing one of the original brothers. It bugged me through the whole film.

Pictures would be fantastic...

What do you think about wet sandpaper? It's got to cut down on the heat issue. If that is in fact an issue...

What effect could this have on the weapon's warranty?

I want to know some of your favorite action movies.

Films with lots of guns and plenty of shooting...

Dremel?

We hold these truths to be self evident that not all DIES are created equal. Ladies and gentlemen please cut me some slack. I have been scouring the forum and reading everyone's take on what dies are good what dies are not. I feel like a dog chasing its tail and have been unable to make up my mind. ...

What did you use to polish it with?

Wow that Chuck vs. Bear video was so powerful.

Any reports of a Five-seveN producing Cartridge Cook Off?

Just for a point of reference, when I was 10 years of age, my dad took me cougar hunting in Colorado. I took home a 145lbs cat with a .22 magnum.
That was before the 5.7 was invented. Or I might have taken it... HAHA

I was wondering why there were so many colored bulbs...

Can you put that into MOA terms?

Ok here is a working link:

http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?p ... ber=646612" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Has any one used this or a product like it?

Well I bit the bullet and bought an X5L. I'm very pleased with it. Haven't put any range time in with it yet but it's so light and bright, I'm sure it's gonna be just fine.
It's on my recommended products list.

I would like to see a Magpul ranger plate for the Five-seveN magazine. If for nothing else than the cool guy factor, I would buy it. All kidding aside, I don't think that would be enough to make me "cool". Back to the video topic: I think Magpul could profit from providing an advanced Dynamic Handgu...

Recently I had the chance to purchase a copy of Magpul's "Art of the Dynamic Handgun" at my local gun shop. There are some very compelling ideas in this training and would recommend it to just about any handgun owner. It's very obvious that it could very well be a Smith and Wesson M&P commercial. Bu...

Who has a solution to conceal the Five-seveN with tac light/laser in Texas weather?

Right, I figured that much. Not that it would KB. But the keyhole is what I guess I was looking for. So FN will provide a new barrel at cost right?
Unless one was to go Third party.

Man! It's this tapatalk iPhone app!

It said it uploaded the picture!

:standby:

Lookie here:

Ok, I'm looking at a "Wheeler" bore lapping kit. In Midway's most recent catalogue. Costs $32.99.

Tubb makes lapping ammo, but not in 5.7x28.

*Not running past male hogs in a race.

I wonder if anyone has spent any time and energy looking into bore lapping. There are a few products out there. All claim to smooth out the bore or chamber.
Is this nonsense? Has anyone tried this?

If so please support by listing your findings.

Thanks,
JBL

True the Five-seveN has a stated service life of 20,000 rounds. How does this match up to some other big name handguns on the rack today? What components are planned to fail at 20,000 rounds? Are there replacements from FNH? What about Third Party? Is anyone close to this number with your Five-seveN...

Its all good, just want to tread lightly in the forum. Not step on any toes. Respect and honor go along way nowadays. Its places like this that seem to be the few places it exists. That and AM radio.

Where can I find more information concerning pre fragmenting bullets? Including concept info.

Ouch, so sorry. Didnt mean to, its that iPhone app I used. I searched with it but it came up with nothing.
Viridian was the term I used as well.

Sorry again Admins...

Much love to you my firearm family, I have searched the forum and found nothing related. I hope not to double post or post this in the wrong place. If so, blame this "TapTalk" iPhone app I paid $3.00 for. Does any one have any knowledge of running a Five-seveN with a 'Viridian X5L' light/laser combo...

Very well, All sounds fair and reasonable. Now if I may continue by asking the following: If the factory ammo is "watered down" is this in reference to the grain of projectile? Or the powderloads? Both perhaps? Are we talking about pushing the projectiles past the 'non compressed' powder configurati...

From what I've seen, FN includes their disclaimer to not cover reloaded ammo due to the fact that they don't want to continually replace $1k guns from constant reloading accidents rather than actually trying to exclude customers from their warranty. Evidence if this is constant on our forum, where ...

I actually read his whole post and saw all the pictures some time back. This was before I knew he was "that guy". Glad to know you didn't loose any fingers or eye sight in that accident.

Thanks for responding, My statement about the 5.7x28 being proprietary came from the FNH website's product video for the Five-seveN. http://www.fnhusa.com/le/flash/prodvid.asp?20105.7720.f4v" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Straight from the horse's mouth...

Greetings to my gun owning friends and family, I see that many of you fine folks are reloading the 5.7x28 and that there is a growing number of dies and etc with respects to the cartridge. So can anyone shed some light on the disclaimer that FNH posts in the owners manual? My general consensus is th...
