Oh, I forgot to mention I’m using the SMALL steel RCBS Uniflow Powder Measure Drop Tube (.17-.20 Cal) in my Little Dandy

I know this is a LONG dead post but, MY #6 rotor will throw a charge of True Blue between 5.5 and 5.7 grains. YMMV.

After lubing with STP how do you remove it from the loaded round?

Check this out. Nice read. https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2016/10/24/modern-personal-defense-weapon-calibers-4-6x30mm-hk/ I also heard that the MP7 is going to be built in 5.7mm but in full-auto only. No Semi-auto models will be built. That means they will not be available for civilians in the...

How about this load he posted “on the other board”.... Subsonic, usually cycles, 45 grain tracer, ~3.0 grain trail boss (doughnut powder) It is just lightly compressed, 3.6 gn, or full to the brim, seems to work best. Pretty compressed, but whatever... Some crack above sonic, but usually not. Cheap ...

How is this remotely related to the FiveseveN pistol?

Try Huntington Die Specialties, I know they did offer custom dies. Many years ago I had a Powder Springs MAC-11 .380, back in those days .380 brass was almost impossible to come by so I had Huntington Die Specialties send me a .380 trim Die. I was trimming 5.56 cases down to .380 length, then I had ...

If it's an actual documented PROTOTYPE, it should be a couple of thousand dollars.

A friend of mine purchased the second .44 Automag Prototype a couple of years ago and paid $8,000.00. But keep in mind a "run of the mill" Automag is around $4,000.00.

I'm looking to go SLIGHTLY hotter than a factory SS197 load.

I'm going to be using Hornady 40 gr Z-Max bullets
True Blue powder
But I have Winchester Small Rifle primers "in stock", but I've seen loading data recommending both pistol & rifle primers.

BTW, I'm thinking 5.2 grains of True Blue.

Its the new style factory FN magazine

Found this in a post on the "other" Forum...

Unfortunately it's not currently imported into the U.S.

It's manufactured in the Ukraine

The Franklin Armory Gen III Binary Trigger doesn't require a "Trip" for it to operate.

I wasn't even considering the Fostech Echo.

In theory it shouldn't be a very long reach to achieve this. As many PS90 owners are aware, the FN PS90 trigger group is almost an exact copy of the Steyr AUG trigger pack, in fact PS90 packs have been retrofitted with AUG parts. Corvus Definsio Is releasing an aluminum chassis that inserts into the...

O.K., that's it!

I going to order an Elite Ammunition chamber gauge and check EVERY round of ammo that I'm going to carry before loading it into the magazines.

Way too many reports of issues with 5.7 ammo.

There was a "rumor" at Shot Show 2017 that Sig is bringing a 5.7x28 to market soon.

Any updates on release date?

Glock is also the "only pistol of it's kind"...and it's MOSTLY made of traditional steel.

The FsN is expensive because we'll PAY IT!

The frame is by far mostly polymer except for the rails molded into the polymer.

I really feel the shorter front sight from Elite is a game changer.

I do believe that the V Max bullet design has changed.

Several years ago Hornady stated on their L.E. web site that .223 40 gr Urban TAP shouldn't be used in a barrel with a faster twist than 1/9". They changed that later to 1/7".

Resurrecting this thread from the dead.... Blackhawk FINALLY offered a Serpa for the FiveseveN MKII, they produced 300 units and then shut production down. By the time I found out about it the only source I could find was a reseller on eBay. I wound up paying almost $120.00 for a holster that should...

I seem to recall a posting about a FiveseveN that COULDN'T be brought on target it was so far off and FN wound up replacing the pistol.

And as you have discovered, the P.O.I. is EXTREMELY different between SS197 & SS198.

SS198 is quite a bit faster and the projectile is over 25% lighter.

Well they will have competition very soon. A major firearms manufacture that everyone on this forum has heard of is finalizing their 5.7 mil spec pistol. It will use FsN magazines and be a polymer/metal hybrid. There will be 2 versions, 1 striker and the other hammer. At a minimum this will force F...

My .02

They are charging what the market will bear. I foresee the price continuing to slowly raise until sales slow.

A product I use in my AR-15 magazines is Remington Dri-Lube.

It sprays on wet then dries and leaves a residue of dry Teflon.

Thanks, for some reason this posted three times.

Could you please divulge the supplier of the blue plastic boxes you formally used for shipping your ammunition?

I would like to purchase some for storage of my 5.7 ammo.

Thanks.

I just ran across this topic, I've been running Mobil 1 grease in my 5.7.

The reason is I've used it on my Glocks for years. The slide feels like it's running on ball bearings but now I'm worried.

How many instances of this have you ran across? And was it STP?

Probably not since the [FsN] mag is slanted and the mp7 takes a straight mag. We did consider this though…

That's backwards from reality.

The HK MP7 uses a curved mag and the FsN is straight.

When I first started carrying a pistol was when I became a Sheriffs Deputy in 1979, back then you could have any material for a holster you wanted as long as it was leather.

You can use any FNH ammo you can get your hands on (192,195,197,198,etc.). AE is ok too, in fact I believe the AE is made by the same people just packaged differently.

I've had issues with light loaded SS197LF.

I just purchased my MKII. Can you elaborate on what the improvements are.

The guy advertising the ELP ammo is apparently a full blown nut job, or extremely sarcastic.

The round wouldn't even travel 500 yards.

The SERPA will fit ANY 5.7 pistol...period.

I just received my MK II, there is no way in hell it will fit in either of my Serpa's I used with my original 5.7.

I even considered trying to modify the Serpa for the MK II, there is not enough material in several locations to allow it.

I just took delivery of a new 5.7 and it came with one new style and two old style mags.

I thought the "hot ticket" was to use a modified Lee .22 Hornet Factory Crimp Die?

I REALLY like my Aimpoint M3 mounted on my PS90 using the TROS mount. When I had a Promoted Pawn Low Profile Rail, it sat WAY too high. I leave it turned on, and just change the battery once a year.

is this priced too high for 30 round magazines? You probably don't want to hear this but I purchased 20 new Colt 30 rd mags for $8.50 shipped off of AR15.com Equipment Exchange.
