Mounting a scope on the PS 90 for +-$25.00 - FN FiveseveN Forum

Mounting a scope on the PS 90 for +-$25.00 - FN FiveseveN Forum

Posted by schmidtbender:

I don't think much of the as issued sight. In fact it is clearer with my glasses off than on. I got to thinking about putting a real scope on it and like a true shadetree gunsmith, I "figgered it out".
You need:
1. A 1"x1"x1" piece of square steel "tube" about 1.3" long
2. Two metric allen set screws that fit the existing holes in the side of the sight housing. Take along one of the sight mounting screws as it's the same thread. (I bought four and used the other two to plug the other two holes in the wings).
4. A piece of tip off mount adapter rail from Brownells (see picture).
5. A scope with a tip off mount. You can get the rings in 3/4", 7/8" and 1" for sure on ebay or from Brownells. This is NOT a Weaver crosslock ring set, it is the kind designed for 22s with grooved receivers.
6. Drills, taps and a belt sander

one: remove the existing sight and put the front screw back in (so you don't lose it).
two: Measure the distance between the sight guard ears.(See pics) It was a RCH less than 1" on mine, hence the belt sander.
three: Get it to where it is a press and tap tap fit between the ears.
three: Level it with the flat where the rear OEM sight screw hole is.
four: Drill a 1/8" hole from each side thru the existing tapped hole in the sight wings. Do not drill thru the steel tube, it's just to locate the set screw.
five: Put in the two allen set screws and tighten a bit. This is not a 416 Rigby so be gentle.
six: Cut the Brownell rail to the length you want, drill & countersink a hole for the original rear sight mounting screw in the original hole.
seven: Install the rail with the rear screw and center it on the 1" tube piece. I used a caliper to measure the gap between the rail and the sides of the wings.
eight: Tighten down the rear screw making sure the rail does not move.
nine: Drill a countersink in the rail for whatever screw you use to secure it to the 1" tube. I used an 8-40 scope mount torx. Drill thru the rail with a clearance drill enough to spot the tube.
ten: Remove the rail and D&T the tube.
eleven: cleanup and degrease, mount the rail with blue locktite.
twelve. mount the scope.

My rig has a Leupold Alaskan 6X which is a 7/8" tube scope.
The cheek weld is much better that the OEM sight and I'm just a normal guy that can pick up almost any off the shelf rig and it fits.

To the range tomorrow. I may need to shim the front or rear base a bit for elevation but at least I'll be able to see that target.

Question on Tracer Round OAL - FN FiveseveN Forum

Question on Tracer Round OAL - FN FiveseveN Forum: "Keep it closer to 1.575-1.580. The ogive on military bullets vary dramatically and with some, on a longer OAL, may contact the lands/grooves spiking pressure. Also, the old white capped tracers are very unreliable. Only about 40% will light. If you can get the copper base tracers, you will experience 100% function. If you can't find any, drop me a PM or email and I'll get you some from my suppliers (at my cost). -Ryan P.S. I much prefer TrueBlue over HS6. It meters better and has a more even pressure curve. -RH"

FN Forum.NET :: View topic - FNH Q&A - November 30, 2007 - (ANSWERED)

1. When will we get more variations of factory 5.7x28mm ammo (besides 195 and 197)? There will be a new round called SS198 but it will be a LE restricted round. The 195 and 197 go forward for now.

2. Will official (CIP, SAAMI, FN internal) cartridge dimensions and other specifications eventually be included in the FNH USA website content for the 5.7x28mm? Not at this time.

3. There have been a handful of reports of PS90 barrels supposedly damaged from the higher pressures of the 195 round. Did extending the barrel on the PS90 to 16 inches have any unanticipated consequences over the original P90 design? Not true. If that was true the shorter P-90 barrel would have problems. I have seen P-90 barrels with 35,000+ rounds through them. The SS195 is not full pressure.

4. The PS90 manual states that the moving parts group should be oiled at the guide rods, ejector, extractor and "holes of the breech block". Which holes are they referring to? The side holes are the right hole that goes to the guide rod and the other side which houses the cyclical reducer or tungsten weight.

5. The PS90 Owners Manual states that the PS90 has an internal safety sear to prevent accidental firing if the gun is dropped. Since the this forward safety sear has been removed from the hammer group, has FNH done extensive tests to ensure there is no chance of an out of battery detonation?It is a gravity activated sear which activates when the gun is dropped on the muzzle. I am sure the fire control was tested and qualified before production started as on all FNH firearms.

6. Has the FNP 45 release date been pushed back? We should see .45's any time. There was a slight hitch in getting the extractors done.

7. Will the USG FNPs be available in both 9mm and .40 S&W? And will they be available with night sights? Both are available now. No plans for night sight versions.

8. Photos of the FNP45 show a lanyard loop. Will this be on the production pistol, and will it end up on the 9mm's and 40's as well? It will only be on the USG version. The loop will exist on all but only the USG will come with a split ring.

9. When is the FNP-357 Sig going to be available for purchase? Will they be released in dark earth color? 1st quarter 2008. They will not be available in dark earth at this time.

10. Will the FNP 357 be available in DA/SA with a decocker only?Yes, only DA/SA at this time.

Thanks for the questions!

Tinkering with the Ruger 96 - Jesse's Hunting & Outdoors (JHO)

Tinkering with the Ruger 96 - Jesse's Hunting & Outdoors (JHO): "Tinkering with the Ruger 96 Andy Moe - JHO ProStaff - Montana July 28, 2006 I'm a fan of the Ruger 96 lever actions. A lot of people don’t even know what they are but I like them. They appeal to my taste for the eccentric. Looking like a mongrel cross between a Ruger 10/22, a Savage Model 99, and the old Winchester Model 88 centerfire, this rifle is not just another pretty face. "

Thanks to Herstal, MO, and all the rest. - FN FiveseveN Forum

I would like to Thank everyone that has contributed to the Reloading section. Yesterday I chronographed my first reloads.

Thanks to:

Hestal for a great shell plate for my dillon. My only problem was the powder measure. I have an older 550 and the original powder measur would not fully actuate with the small 5.7x28 case. Luckily I had purchased a second powder measure to have one for pistol and one for rifle. The new one worked just fine.

MO for sharing his wealth of experience with reloading.

Charlie Foster for sharing his reloading data.

I was looking for a sub sonic load. I loaded a Win 55gr fmj, WSR primer, 3.0 grs HS6, once fired brass, COL 1.58.
Avg - 1036.8, HI - 1072.2, Low - 992.6, SD - 19.5

I also tried some 40gr Vmax, with 7.4 grs of AA#7.
Avg - 2227.8, HI - 2266.2, Low - 2195.9, SD - 19.2

I had accidently picked up the moly coated Vmax bullets. Would that explain why the velocity at 7.4 grs exceeded the powder mfg specs for a 40 gr bullet, that had a max of 7.7 grs 2044 fps?

Gemtech's SFN-57 Test Spin [Archive] - FN FiveseveN Forum

Gemtech's SFN-57 Test Spin [Archive] - FN FiveseveN Forum: "I recently had the opportunity to hook up with Doc Dater and Kelly from Gemtech at a small MG Match and they happended to have the SFN-57 attached to a Tactical 5.7 Pistol. They said I could take it for a spin but they didn't have any ammo with them...... Lucky me. I'm still waiting for my Jarvis Barrel to be shipped.... sigh. I loaded up a 30 rounder with some S-190, S-192, S-195, S-196 and S-197 ammo to feel and hear if there were any notable difference in ammo with the suppressor. All of the rounds did have a noticible sonic crack but you could really tell the difference with the can and without..... I couldn't tell any difference in the crack between any of the rounds that I fired. The overall length of the suppressor was 5.8' The diameter was 1.25 inches and didn't interfere or block the Tactical sights. The weight was only 5.2 ounces and didn't make the pistol front end heavy. The suppressors have a M10x1 Thread. I definately need to get my hands on some S-193 Subsonic ammo and will be ordering one of these cans as soon as my barrel is shipped. Agent"

ColtCCO » I am a Splinter Cell.

ColtCCO » I am a Splinter Cell.: "Ok, I knew a Gemtech SFN-57 can weighs nothing. The FiveseveN weighs nothing, either. Just today I found out that, when both items are assembled together , they still weigh only slightly more than nothing, and even then, not by a lot. It’s just so handy. They already have about the recoil of a .22lr pistol, and the suppressor is only going to help attenuate that further. This setup belongs to a lucky customer of mine, and when we threaded the can on for the first time, I just couldn’t help but grab my then-working camera and snap a few shots. I wish I’d remembered to grab a scale too, but the whole package weighs under 2lbs, loaded with 21 rds. Now I really want to go play Splinter Cell - oh, wait, no, I can’t. My Xbox 360 is en route to Tejas for repair. That’s a post for another time, when I bitch about not be able to bypass any of the English script the tech support guy in India read to me about rebooting. Rrgh.
