Omg, I barely had time to log in before it all went poof!
Thank god I didn't mistype my login info. That stuff went fast.

Hey Lisa, how many boxes sold in the 3 minutes?

No you didn't....... :lmao: And I will be removing the USPS shipping option before it goes up tomorrow night. That was a lot of paperwork and momma doesn't have time for paperwork this weekend My Joey makes his First Holy communion Sunday :D Shhhhhhh....... Nobody got anything..... I hope the guys ...

I'm just happy to finally get something to feed through my FsN. Its been starving to death sitting on the shelf with nothing to eat since last fall. I hope that someone at Elite fed it at least a few rounds while it was in for accurizing back in February. She's hungry!!! :drool: P.S. Lisa, I'll buy ...

i saw a picture not too long ago with a five seven sporting a rail mounted compensator which looked badass. was wondering if anyone knows a good place to find these, cause i cant seem to find any. it also could be fake but still most guns have compensator and the only ones i see are threaded to the...

Here's my rail mounted compensator.... (compensates for my near sightedness) No compensator needed for recoil since the FsN is quite manageable... http://i684.photobucket.com/albums/vv207/airdog99/IMAG0977small.jpg http://i684.photobucket.com/albums/vv207/airdog99/IMAG0976small.jpg http://i684.photo...

How long did it take for the accurizing? I was without my FsN for just under 14 days. Very surprised at how fast the turnaround was for the accurizing job including the trigger shaving! Update: As far as getting the rear sight adjustment screw, after numerous emails to FNH and Browning CS, parts an...

Cabela's came through for me. Just got a call from the Barrington, IL store. They have 500 rounds of AE 5.7 waiting for me to pick up. Charged me $19.99 a box. Total with tax included was $212.39 I wish I had ordered another 1000 rounds now... That's the cheapest I've ever found 5.7 ammo!

No way am I sending in a gun for service for something as simple as a sight elevation screw. It would cost 5000x as much just for next day shipping than the screw would cost. We're talking about a 5¢ screw (I would gladly pay for many times over) if Browning would just send it. My emails have still ...

Thanks Buffman, I actually saw that thread a couple of days ago. I should have wrote down the part numbers before I called FNH parts. I'm not sure who the guy is in parts but it seems like everytime I call he is the one that answers (still waiting on black control parts I ordered last July). He just...

For some reason I'm starting to feel that it would be easier to replace the springs than that darn screw....

Hey Guys, I recently sent my FsN to Jay at Elite Ammunition for an accurizing job. The gun came back great (as I posted earlier). However, before sending off to Jay I removed the Burris redot and the mount I got from Robert at Fivesevenreddot.com. After the gun came back I put the original adjustabl...

Hey all, I just wanted to give a quick shout out to Jay, Lisa and the crew at Elite Ammunition for the accurizing and trigger work they recently did on my FiveSeven. I was really surprised at the turnaround time and the overall difference it made to the gun. Pairing my FiveSeven with the Shark skin ...

Hey Dennis,
Glad to hear you are starting to ship. I'm sure the holsters are gonna be awesome! Do you or will you be posting any pictures of the finished products?

Thanks again for all you do!

~Airdog

Just a few things my fellow Illinoisan's might want to know. It's time to speak up before the liberals in this state and the idiots in Shitcago screw the law abiding citizens who own guns legally for sport and protection. So far not one thing any of the anti-gunners has proposed would have changed ...

Dennis,

Glad to hear you're ok! Sounds like you diffused a scary situation.
Sounds like incorporating might be a good way to protect yourself.
Eagerly looking forward to my FsN and Python holster

Has anyone here ran any of the Federal American Eagle ammo through their 5.7? I just talked to a guy at Cabela's and he said they could get some shipped to the store in about a week or two. It's $19.99 for a box of 50 so I went ahead and ordered 10 boxes since I haven't been able to find any FnH amm...

Are these the new design mags that came out back in April or the old design?

Hey Dennis, Great to hear the holsters are still on the way. :D I've been busy over the last several weeks moving to northern IL. Can't wait to see the shark skin holster on my 5.7! Are the Python holsters coming along as well? Just wondering if they'll be done together. Thanks again for all you do!

I guess I'm lucky as well, I've put 150, then 100, then 200, then another 200 rounds through mine in the last couple of months and never saw anything close to that kind of brass/laquer shavings in my FSN between cleanings.

I bought about 15 boxes of these Black Talon Deep Penatrator's back in the early 1990's before they were taken off the market. I still have 2 full boxes of the them left. Sure wish I had the rest of them since the rare .357 version is going for $50-$75 a box now. I paid $12.95 (sticker is still on t...

Airdog, I've never heard of a Trapdoor grip. Can you post pictures? I think I saw Colt Python grips fore sale in a catalog at CDNN. Check out this url: http://www.cdnninvestments.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Download the catalog and somewhere at the end, I thought I saw a pai...

I recently purchased my first 5.7 and have a question concerning the CMMG extensions... Since I'm a "newbie" I can't post on the B/S/T section, but my question concerns the springs. I've read all posts in this and dis-assembly topics and haven't found an answer. My 5.7 came with 3 20 rnd. mags & 3 ...

Sorry guys, I have been in Virginia at a wrestling tournament with my son. 6 days of visiting family, shooting the 5.7, sun and fun at the beach, and watching my son kick ass on the wrestling mat. He went 8-0 over the 3 days of wrestling and only allowed 1 point to be scored against him in the first...

I wonder if this will impact the CMMG mag extensions? I tested the extensions I have and they do not work. The follower cants foreword and jams into the base of the rib. Well, I ran into the same problem as panzermk2 (I'm assuming he's using the CMMG extension), the follower moves forward and gets ...

Off the top of my head I would say weak ammo. Did the box's of ammo you used today come from the same lot as the 250 rounds you shot yesterday? If it did then thats probably not it. It may be possible the extractor is gunked up in the breach with some carbon or powder residue. I've shot over 400 rou...

I forgot about the mag restrictions in California. Looks like our FsN's are twins. Mine was built on 08/09/11 also. Hubert A. was the gunsmith that test fired it. I can't wait to get an EA accurizing job done on it. Everyone on here thats had it done says it really improves the FsN. Good luck out sh...

NEW MAGAZINE DESIGN AS OF LATE APRIL 2012. FN has added a full length vertical rib inside the front of the magazine. Arrows showing rib in the front of the magazine. Bottom of mag with bottom plate removed (left). http://i684.photobucket.com/albums/vv207/airdog99/FsN/IMG_5527a-1.jpg http://i684.pho...

Got it home and just finished first cleaning although it was pretty darn clean.. Headed out to the the range now:p :cya: What kind of ammo are you using? I'm guessing SS195LF since your in California. I've ran 400 rounds of SS195LF through mine in the last couple of weeks and its worked perfectly w...

Airdog has a 6" Royal Blue Colt Python, too. Have you been shooting your Python lately? The trigger is amazing on these revolvers!!! Unfortunately it isn't mine... it is my dad's. It was his duty sidearm in the 80's and early 90's. He also shot a bunch of competitions in the early 90's with it, alm...

I'm waiting to get a couple of mag extensions (hopefully this week) to test out and let ya all know.

Robert

Hey Robert, I sent you a PM.

After doing this, I've decided to make a Python-skin holster for my 6" Stainless Colt Python, as soon as I finish the FN 5.7 holsters that I promised to some people in this forum. Python on Python! That would be a heck of a rig. Wow! I have an old Blued 6" Colt Python that would love to jump out of...

Interesting, I just checked the 3 magazines that were included with the new FsN I bought last weekend and only one of the three had the new design. I bought my FsN new ~3 weeks ago. I have 3 mags and none are the new ones. I'll be sure to ask for new stock on my next magazine purchase. Looks like I...

Airdog, their Lock Laws might be worse, but they do issue CCW Permits... I saw a story on our local news last night that Illinois is getting closer to having a Concealed Carry Permit law. State Representative Brandon Phelps, D-Harrisburg (a Southern Democrat no doubt) had introduced the original bi...

An extra 10 rds is a 50% increase in capacity. An extra 7rds is still a 35% increase in capacity, and at 27+1, the mags work flawlessly. In the infantry, we kept our M16 mags loaded to 28rds. We did not "practice faster mag changes" with 20rd mags. I have 13 of the CMMG +10 extensions, and they all...

Called Md State Police firearm licensing department and explained everything. They said since the dealer took the gun back I do not have to wait the 30 day waiting period. Believe me it is not over between the dealer and I. They messed up in so many ways. First of all they should have never sold me...

I guess I should have posted my idea a little sooner...... :( I appreciated your post though. Just feel after paying all that I shouldn't have to settler you know... Thing that irks me the most is that MD law states you have a 30 day waiting period between handguns! I should be okay though since th...

I guess I should have posted my idea a little sooner......

While waiting for my FsN to come in about 10 days ago, I decided to purchase the 3 Magazine Springs & 3 Magazine Lip Protector kit that Elite Ammunition makes. I did so after reading about it here on the forums. Seems like a good and inexpensive upgrade for the mags. Anyway, I received the shipment...

http://i1227.photobucket.com/albums/ee430/alaustin04/photo5.jpg See any obvious issues? Forgive me if I'm wrong, but based on this picture above wouldn't the tension bar (because of the way its bent) just put a little more pressure on the trigger linkage when its moved back to the correct position?...

What's worse than sticking your tool in an unfamiliar hole? Letting "someone" else stick "your" tool in an unfamiliar hole.... lol Actually Aaron, I hope you get your gun fixed. I just picked mine up last week along with 500 rounds of SS195LF and still haven't gotten to the range yet. Anxious to use...

Dang it, you guys are spookin me so I ended up buying 10 boxes of SS195LF instead of 6 that I planned on picking up.
Is $25 a box a decent price?

I'm looking to put a Burris FFlll on my FsN. Do you have the 3MOA version of the as well?

Thank you sir! That is pretty much along the lines of what I was thinking.
I was leaning toward the 3 MOA and you just helped me confirm my decision.
Now to find one...

~Airdog

I'm picking up six boxes of SS195LF at my local dealer tomorrow for this weekend.
He tells me that he can get as much as I want. 1/2 case or full case.

Hey blue, You seem to pretty knowledgeble on redot optics for the FsN. I'm thinking of getting a Burris FFlll for my new FsN. I've seen where Burris makes a 3 MOA and an 8 MOA version. Since I'm new to the FsN and never had a redot mounted on a pistol, what do you recommend? I mostly shoot at 15 and...

I just got the tritium, my machinist should be starting next week. How long are the tritium tubes you building sights with? I found a source for 1.55mm x 5mm if your interested. Almost all colors, red, green, yellow, blue, etc. http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/1278/tritrowbz6.jpg http://img196.im...

Well, I came home today and I had a package from Arnold, MO. A very light package I might add. I expected the parts to come from some exotic locale rather than so close to So IL. Anyway, as I said the package was quite light since the only thing in the envelope was the slide lever. Apparently the st...

Thanks for the info panzermk2. I ordered a 3 color digital slide this morning. Unfortunately, it looks like its gonna take a couple of months to get it.

OK, I called FN late yesterday to confirm my order. I asked for Rita ( thanks panzermk2 ) and after about a 5 minute wait she came on the phone. She was far more knowledgeable and pleasant to deal with than the guy I had on the phone the day before. Black Magazine Catch B5157H8852 is no longer avail...

LOL yes that's my personal FsN. FYI it's not pain it's Cerakote.[/quote]

Wow! I really like that 3 color digital. Would you mind sharing the colors you picked?
Base Color:
Secondary Color:
Secondary Color:

My guess is Tactical Gray or Sniper Gray, Armor Black and Tungsten???

Our FDE Five-seveN has a black magazine catch. I brought that up while he was looking up the parts on his computer. I pointed out that both the FDE and ODG models have black controls. He chirped back that even though those models have black controls they have never made the magazine catch available...

Did you call it in? For $20 it is def worth it for me :) Yes 800-635-1321 select option for parts (4) when you get the normal recorded message. I called today to order the parts.
