Got my first FNH FiveseveN...

[JrFreak]

Hello all, I finally got a FiveseveN. I've been wanting one for a while, but never got around to it. A found this one local and got a really good deal (at least I think) on it. I can't wait to shoot it. I need to grab some ammo first and a lefty holster.

I've been reading a lot on here and have a question. Are the USG and MKI the same firearm? Or are they different? Thanks! Back to browsing.

EDIT: Lots of good info here.... will keep me busy for a few hours at least. One of the first things I want to do is get an optic mount for it using the lower rail. Any suggestions?

Technically the MKI is the USG, so yes.

And welcome to the club.

I order mine at the beginning of May still waiting for it to show up.

JrFreak, I edited your post to contain the question on your other thread since they were almost the same.

Anyway,
Mounting optics to the rail wasn't a good idea, I don't know if FNH ever fixed it on the USG. There were instances where the weight & repeated recoil would cause the rail to start cracking. It's meant for a laser and/or a light.

Elite Ammunition makes a rail for your rear sight to mount a red dot or something like that. A link to their site is in the banners near the top of the page. They also have pics on here.

Superb. I love mine albeit a bit large for concealed carry.

I guess in World War 1, they didn't call it that. It didn't get that name until World War II came along. Mark I is kind of like that. It was just called the USG until the Mark II came along, then the USG became the Mark I. Enjoy it. You can't really go wrong just buying a boat load of ammo from PSA, as they seem to have the cheapest SS197 around. Then just shoot it, a lot. For me, miine is kind of like my Remington 870, as it just keeps getting better as the round count goes up.

Thanks. I missed the message when I tried to post the first one about it having to be approved. I didn't think it went thru so I made a new one.

And thanks for the heads up on the cracking issue. I'll stay away from that then and look at the slide mount. I think they are out of stock for the MKI.

Nice find. How do you like it now that you have had it for a month?
