Tools required: grinder
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."

FN FiveseveN Forums - Wildcat Round: "A search on this forum for wildcat will turn up a few threads, but little load data (for wildcats). Googling for 4.4x28mm or 4.5x28mm (or 17x28, which is a bad name, but oh well) may yield more starting points since that seems to be a popular route."

FN FiveseveN Forums - Wildcat Round: "Glad to help (such as it is.) If being unique/first is the goal, a .19' variant might be more fun. I started penciling up what I called the 4.85x28mm a while back, but got distracted."

FN FiveseveN Forums - What is the best way to use the search engine?: "It depends. The advanced search has some nice features that can be useful.
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.
