Find a cap that is about 0.54' OD. Grind off enough material so that 2 notches about 0.1' wide remain. Keep trimming until it fits the adjustment bushings on the reflex sight.
If you break one cap, find another one. A whole pack of highlighters or markers can be bought for under $2 USD. It sure beats $28 or $50."

As an example, someone asked another member to recap everything they knew about reloading the 5.7x28mm. It would have been better to use tha advanced search to look for posts made by the more experienced member and made in the reloading forum. Keywords could then be added to narrow the search further."

FN FiveseveN Forums - Halo Mfg Replacement Selector Switch
FN FiveseveN Forums - Halo Mfg Replacement Selector Switch
I was one of those selected by Halo to participate in their beta testing program, and received an "A" Marked Selector Switch in the mail late last week.
Shipping was via USPS Priority Mail and totalled $4.05. Within the delivery box, the unit was professionally packaged in a manner suitable for retail display in a small plastic bag with a product label stapled to it. The label was well executed on stiff paper, printing ws clear, dark, and easily readable.
Some semi-random thoughts:
Retailers might appreciate a small hole at the top of the package so that it could be displayed more easily.
Installation instructions were not provided. Given the packaging constraints, perhaps a link/URL would have been appropriate for those needing to know "how to." I didn't find that installation was all that difficult, but instructions would have saved a bit of head-scratching when the ejection port cover decided to pop out and disassemble itself.
It looks and feels very similar to the original part.
The lettering/numbering on mine was not quite as crisp as the original FN part, but I expect that the slight fuzziness around the edges will become less apparent with wear.
The Halo part is visually distinguishable from the FN part on the underside. The FN part has a small groove/slot around the circumfrence of the selector that is solid in the Halo version. This difference can be seen when the part is installed if you know what to look for, but is not readily aparent on casual inspection.
The part functions fine. It fit well when installed, and no slop or play could be felt after installation. I thought that it might feel slightly stiffer than the original part when moving from one selection to another, but I couldn't do a side-by-side comparison to be sure. I could be wrong, but I suspect that the groove in the FN part mentioned above allows for slightly smoother mode selection. Again, this may only be a (mis)perception of mine. The new part is fully functional and works great.
I will continue to use it, and I look forward to Halo's future product offerings. The upcoming FsN scope rail and the P90/PS90 butt extender are both on my "gotta have 'em" list.
Overall, I think this is a fun accessory. It has almost no practical value, but it does add that final detail for those citizens who are seeking to re-create the next-best-thing to a full-auto P90, or for those interested in building a citizen-legal PS90 from a P90 parts kit.

Also consider an analogy to power steering in a car: the trigger could be separately field-tuned to a lighter (or heavier) pull than the internal mechanism was set at.
* The ability to introduce electronic timing delays that aren't mechanically feasable (more applicable to automatic weapons with ROFs that are 'too high.')
* The ability to easily process additional inputs (e.g. a grip safety on the forward grip of the PS90 or a lojack-style deactivator or...)
* Simpler integration with other electronic devices (e.g. a weapon-mounted shot camera or a beam-hit style laser or a solenoid to push the actuated trigger back into the ready to fire position or...)"

it's an electronic firing system that remington made for their 700 series rifles that uses special primers. there's nothing mechanical in it... no moving firing pin, etc... and the lock time is unreal.
the guns originally were MSRP (about 4 yrs ago) at around $2000, but never caught on and you can buy a brand new rem700 etronix in 220 swift or 22-250 or something for under $600 if you shop around.

it does run on a 9v battery. i think that's the main reason they didn't sell (all the armchair commandos who didn't have $2000 in the first place, grousing about electric guns not being reliable, like they're going to be shooting zombies with a 22-250 )
the only real downside is that ammo is pricy. if you reload (and what varminter doesn't?) primers are about $90/box instead of $15/box like normal. even so, that's not too bad.
edit: btw, i was told (may not be true) that all the etronx guns that were made were handmade, like custom shop guns, which makes them much higher quality than the regular 700s (which are fantastic already)"

Recovery from EMP or battery failure or wiring faults (in my case) would be via swap-out with the original mechanical version stowed in the spares kit (AKA BOB.)
A fully adjustable (mechanically isolated) trigger with low inherent resistance is a pretty big win.
Count me as an interested party.
P.S. A secondary (time-delayed) solenoid that reset the trigger would be an interesting variation."

FN FiveseveN Forums - FUSE Demonstration Document (Experimental electronic fire control for P90): "Electronic trigger systems are great concepts; but try using your electric gun after a nearby nuclear detonation. EMP = worthless firearm. Not many gizmos are completely immune to EMP/HERF, merely just resistant to varying degrees. Similar systems were concepted for the M16 in the early 80's, but never went anywhere due to similar concerns.
The systems themselves rock arse though usually, allowing the user to dynamically change the LOP on the trigger amongst other things.
The one thing that bothers me about the documentation is that they don't detail the wiring for the trigger mech. $10 says the average electric paintball marker control board is more advanced.
Anyway, here is the original document detailing the system:

FN FiveseveN Forums - Places 5.7x28mm isn't welcome
I thought that it would be worthwhile to anectodally document locations (nation, state, county, city) where some or all components of the 5.7x28mm weapon system are not warmly embraced or that are more restrictive than the United States federal laws and regulations. I originally thought about calling this thread "Places I can't live" but that seemed too personal.
I later added localities that do not significantly restrict components and a basic color coding scheme was implemented. DO YOUR OWN HOMEWORK and DON'T TAKE ANYTHING WRITTEN HERE AS GOSPEL. Firearm ownership is a serious responsibility - take responsibility for your own actions.
Entrance criteria might be (but is not limited to):
Location maintains an "approved" list of firearms (and not all models of the P90/PS90/FsN are listed)
Location requires certain features (eg. magazine safety or target sights - ruling out the DAO and tactical models)
Location bans certain features (eg. threaded barrels, thumbhole stock, etc.)
Location has magazine capacity restrictions
Location bans specific weapon types (eg. pistols, SBRs, suppressors, automatic weapons, semi-automatic weapons derived from military designs)
Location bans ammunition that includes any 5.7x28mm (eg. defines AP ammo more restrictively than the US Feds do, or considers hollow-point ammunition as dum-dums, or...)
This thread is NOT intended to cover the various carry laws, nor is it for general discussion of class III/NFA - there are other threads and forums that cover those topics in better detail. It IS about the various laws that impact one's ability to KEEP certain classes of armament, in this case anything 5.7x28mm.
NATIONS:
Australia: Very restrictive firearms laws.
Canada: Friendlier than it used to be - at least one each of PS90 and FsN in private ownership as of 07/2006. Magazine capacity restrictions. 5.7x28mm ammunition still listed in http://laws.justice.gc.ca/en/C-46/SOR-98-462/82866.html Likewise for bullpups.

* Washington, DC total (effectively) gun ban.
I don't agree (at all) with their conclusions nor with their stance, however, the Legal Community Against Violence (LCAV) does have a summary of assault weapon laws in the United States (circa 2004) at: http://www.lcav.org/library/feature..._Weapon_Ban.pdf
Feel free to add to the list by posting here or PMing me, and I'll try to keep it up to date. Include links to the source of information if you can.

FN FiveseveN Forums - FNH USA Website Update -- 5.7x28mm Info/FAQ: "'6-Q: Why did FNH USA replace the SS192 cartridge with the SS195LF?'
'A: Since the end of 2004, FNH USA has made the decision not to import any additional SS192 ammunition because it no longer complies with the new U.S. Federal military and law enforcement firing range environmental requirements. To help avoid any confusion FNH USA’s new “green” ammunition has been renamed SS195LF (Lead Free).'
So does this mean that the SS192 Green Ammunition is actually SS195LF?"

WHAT FEDERAL RESTRICTIONS ARE PLACED ON AP AMMO?
If you are NOT a (FFL) licensee under the Gun Control Act (an individual):
It is: ok to OWN AP ammo

ok to BUY AP ammo
ok to SHOOT AP ammo
NOT ok to MAKE AP ammo (18 USC sec. 922(a)(7))
NOT ok to IMPORT AP ammo (18 USC sec. 922(a)(7))
Note that 'make' doesn't mean what you probably think it means.
Additionally, using AP ammo in a crime will result in stiffer sentencing."

If you want it, fine but every cop who finds out and every anti gunner who reads this stuff will use it against us.
Please do not discuss this anymore in this format. Also any LE dept that purchased 5.7 AP ammo and then sold it is in violation of federal law. No good will come from this topic or discussion.

FN FiveseveN Forums - My latest response from FN on ammo
FN FiveseveN Forums - My latest response from FN on ammo: "I emailed FN about information on the Five-seveN compact. I quickly received the reply: 'there are no plans for a compact Five-seveN'. I still think it is likely that a compact Five-seveN is being made. I remember back in the early days of the PS-90 (when David Fortier of SGN first broke the news), an FN rep over on AR15.com said that he asked around and FN had no plans to make a civilian P-90. Obviously, he was wrong. Let's hope it happens the same in the case of the Five-seveN compact. I received the email from Robert Ailes. You can contact him at: roberta@fnhusa.com if you have any questions.

1. Be respectful of other members. It is possible to disagree with someone without getting rude. Name-calling is for children and we are all grown adults here. Act like it.
2. No foul language. We are trying to maintain a friendly environment and such language is not appropriate. An occasional blurb is ok as I know it’s just part of human nature. I just ask you keep it to a minimum.
3. No illegal message content.
4. Posts with racist or extremist comments or content are not allowed. That includes links to sites with such content.
5. No racial, religious, or sexual bigotry is allowed at any time.
6. Do NOT re-open closed threads. Once I or one of my moderators closes a thread, that’s the end of the subject.
7. Do not post the same or similar thread in multiple forums. Select the forum best suited for the topic and post it there. Multiple postings with the same subject matter by the same member will be removed.
8. Unsolicited posts by companies and/or individuals advertising products are not allowed. (Please email webmaster@fivesevenforum for info. on becoming a sponsor.)

"well guys i think i have finally come up with the perfect fox/small game rifle cartridge combo.
the rifle is the cz 527, originaly in 22 hornet. we chambered it for the 5.7X28 fn round necked down to 17 caliber.
as you guys know i have harvested a fox or two in my life. this brought me to the conclusion, a 20/25 grain 17 caliber bullet traveling at 3000 fps will go in and not come out. thus preserving the value of the fur without becoming a seamstress, i hate sewing up holes.
the 17x28 produces 3000+ with both bullets on less than 10 grains of powder. that translates into 700 shots per pound of powder. thst makes it about as cost effective as the 17 hmr but with real slam there butts into the ground performance.
here is my test results."

"just decided to join the forum, been playing with a 17 velociraptor for a while now. the wildcat is based on the fn 5.7X28 case necked down to 17 caliber.
hope this qualifies me to be here, if not i'm sure you will let me know in short order.
the cartridge is chambered in a cooper model 38 repeater, the rifle was originally a 17 ccm but refused to function as did most of the 17 ccm rifles.
the rifle is still a repeater and holds 3 rounds in the clip and one in the chamber.
the cartridge it's self fires a 25 grain bullet at 3200 fps with AA1680 powder. the 20 grain vmaxes exceed 3600 fps with just .4 of a grain more."
