Finished fnx-9 tactical project

Finished fnx-9 tactical project

I finally got my fnx9 up to modern standards with an optics cut from nameless armament and a efk threaded barrel. My fnx 45 is my favorite pistol and im happy to now have a similar setup in 9mm.

The latest family photo

The FNX, the FNP, it's replacing, and the 502 that'll be cheaper to train with (.22 can not pictured).

Dropped my Reflex XL

Was cleaning my FN Reflex XL and dropped it about 3 feet onto the concrete. No visible damage other than a little scratch. I haven’t been able to make it to the range yet to shoot but everything seems to function fine. Im a semi new gun owner and am concerned that I might have messed the gun up in some way. Has anyone dropped there gun before and was it okay?

Does anyone know where I can trade a 545 for 510

Ammo for 45 is more expensive than I thought and mags are a pain to source. Didn’t realize 10mm was way cheaper than I thought

Ah never will I forget when I bought my FDE PS90 Awhile Back

What sight though do y’all think I should get? I had my Eotech EXPS-3 on it except it was a little to high so I am thinking for my birthday buying a Holosun 510C in FDE

No magazines

I feel like it’s insane that fn can’t restock 545 mags for 6 months at a time. Should have went with literally any other 45 at this point .

FNX45 vs 1911

Been thinking about trading in my 1911 for an FNX45. I know this sub will have an FN bias, but looking for pros and cons from longer term FNX45 owners as I think this through. What might I be missing or not thinking about? Thanks everyone!

Looking to cut down my Scar 16" barrel to 13", Do I still need a form 1 ??

Hey gang, with all this NFA fiasco going on and once we get guidelines, if everything stays the same and SBR's, AOW and suppressors are no longer on the NFA list except for machineguns would it be worth the wait to avoid having to do a form 1 for my shorter barrel ?? Thanks gang !

Edit: Who do you guys recommend when it comes down to cutting the barrel and resizing the jet ? I don't really want to spend close to 2K at the FN store for a barrel assembly.

Best Way to Remove 15P Scar 300BLK Flash Hider?

Can anyone please advise the best way to try to remove the flash hider without damaging anything? I see a number of posts about how they’re on there very tight. Should threads be soaked in boiling water or WD40? Does fnh use rocksett or anything else on the threads?Should the gas block be held in some way alongside holding the extension in the vise to help prevent the barrel from screwing out of the extension? Is there a strategy to heat the threads without going too far and screwing up the heat treat?

Any advice to remove this successfully without breaking anything or needing to rethread is appreciated.

UPDATE: Thank you all for the advice! I successfully removed both mine and a friends Scar DMR fnh 3 prong and have detailed a how to guide here. Think I found a better method than just straight heat:

No safe sticker? TF man. My holsters come with stickers but FN couldn’t include a safe sticker on a 4k rifle?? I sent them a strongly worded email. Give me my safe sticker man.

Found these in the wild today, guess it's time to play the lottery.

Stopped by a LGS today and couldn't believe my eyes.

Geissele Super Scar on Gen 2 Scar 17

Thought I would put this out there as I have not found any info on it and save somebody from a panic. If you have a Gen 2 scar, those have AR15 pistol grips. This means you will not replace the grip screw with the one in the Super Scar kit. If you do, your safety selector will not function. It is marketed as a shorter screw for Gen 1 Scars, but is too long on Gen 2. Reuse your standard grip screw.

I made a scope cover for the tactical FS2000

Pretty much title, pretty happy with the current results/progress. I have two tactical models, but not a standard and I wanted some of the original fish gun vibes.

Printed in PA6-CF, and allows enough space underneath for various red dots. Looks pretty good imo.
