Rsquared Posted January 16, 2017 Report Posted January 16, 2017 (edited) Nice acquisition Magwa. So what kinda can you gonna put on it? Edited January 16, 2017 by Rsquared
Sisco Posted January 16, 2017 Report Posted January 16, 2017 Nice! At the range a while back, one of the locals had a can with interchangable threaded backs that he could switch. He had one in 45, and another in 30 cal so he could use the same supressor on multiple firearms easily. I will have to look him up, but that makes some sense.
B0fuh Posted January 17, 2017 Report Posted January 17, 2017 Great looking pistol. Identical to mine, except I don't have an optic. You'll be very pleased with your choice
sketch Posted January 17, 2017 Report Posted January 17, 2017 Magwa way to go! I have a local lgs making his own cans with interchangable caps! I bought his parts for the .458 build and am thinking a can will be a perfect addition from him! If he finally perfects his model ( after the sig can) i will do a .45/.30 can. But his also fits .223.. titanium ect! I will keep the crew posted! My cost ? 600$ range ? Giving him 2 more weeks before i give him more money! Nice pistola!!
Magwa Posted January 17, 2017 Author Report Posted January 17, 2017 I would be interested..... keep me informed you evoked the law i am all ears....
sketch Posted January 17, 2017 Report Posted January 17, 2017 Fuc did i do that! Fuc! Well i will be dropping more $ this week at his feet now! When he told my buddy about the project 8 months (?) Ago i called him on it and he said : " you have a can that im trying to implement? WHY whould you want another?!! " well of course i said R2 has cool shits why cant I! ? He then talked me in to the .458! Son of a bitch im gettin duped here! Im in for a review of his product !
Magwa Posted January 17, 2017 Author Report Posted January 17, 2017 LOL well it is a conundrum......but it sounds cool...... i am kinda stoked about it ....
sketch Posted January 17, 2017 Report Posted January 17, 2017 Same here! Have you put rounds down yet? Hows the feel? Hands on..
Robocop1051 Posted January 17, 2017 Report Posted January 17, 2017 The best lookin FDE pistol on he market.
Magwa Posted January 17, 2017 Author Report Posted January 17, 2017 Sketch no not yet tomorrow is supposed to get in the 30,s for the first time in 3 weeks and I plan on running a few mags through it and trying to get used to the RMR she is a sexy bitch for sure....
B0fuh Posted January 17, 2017 Report Posted January 17, 2017 (edited) Anyone with any experience here have tips to making the mags drop freely from the fnx without having to strip them per chance? Magwa, I'd be interested to know if yours is the same way too. Edited January 17, 2017 by B0fuh
Magwa Posted January 17, 2017 Author Report Posted January 17, 2017 I will check all three of my mags empty and get back to you on this.... good question..
Magwa Posted January 17, 2017 Author Report Posted January 17, 2017 OK 1 falls free, one you can shake out, and one you have to pull out this is unacceptable, so is there a known fix? I have been reading about the issue for the last hour or so and seems like there is a issue with FN customer service well I am going to call them and see what is up .....I will not own a pistol that does not function 100%...

Magwa, it is my understanding that they were designed to require stripping the magazine. All five of my magazines are the same way. The word on the grapevine has it that it was designed for consideration as a gubment issue pistol, (hence ambidextrous safety/decocker) magazines that drop freely in a firefight are more likely to be left on the ground for obvious reasons. I personally haven't done a ton of digging on it because I generally shoot the G21 if I want speed in the uspsa shoots. I'll be interested if you come up with a solution though.
blue109 Posted January 17, 2017 Report Posted January 17, 2017 (edited) I've read statements from FN that they designed it that way. Not sure if it's CYA bs or they really did it on purpose. Something about magazine retention I think I saw it posted in here. .but there are videos of the empty magwell flexing inward in hot weather. Might also cause the mags to be tight. FN says the wide high cap mags forced them to make the grip area thin, but that it is still strong and no danger of breaking. Edited January 17, 2017 by blue109
planeflyer21 Posted January 17, 2017 Report Posted January 17, 2017 The sticky mag is a common European requirement. That is how the G17 was originally designed too. Nice bulgy mags. IMO just train for it to stick.

Bingo, a little muscle memory will have you forgetting that you even strip the magazine. Make sure to get some trigger time before you decide you're unhappy. You will be pleased.
Magwa Posted January 17, 2017 Author Report Posted January 17, 2017 (edited) well found out all I need to ... right here no biggy I can do myself.... http://fnforum.net/forums/cerakote-industrial-finishers/56309-fnx-45-tactical-magazine-drop-free-fix-diy-send-cif-repair.html and a detailed strip of the gun...

sketch Posted January 17, 2017 Report Posted January 17, 2017 Well magwa i talked to the kid at the lgs.. owner is at shot. Kid says hes still trying to tweek the baffels to make the subs quieter but the rest is good to go! Silly part that i forgot this is a rifle can not a ( hand gun) can. So im still on the hook but you will be looking else where. Maybe by the time he gets his ass to work we wont have to wait for 9 months!! Ill get more specks when he returns next week!
blue109 Posted January 17, 2017 Report Posted January 17, 2017 (edited) Remember those dudes Shadow Ops who were doing that multi-cal can thing and ended up bailing on everybody. Some local SOTs managed to get a few of them running salvaging parts from incomplete kits and reported that they were crap. Hardly any sound dampening. Edited January 17, 2017 by blue109
sketch Posted January 18, 2017 Report Posted January 18, 2017 Shadow oops was a fast demise. Hes tested .223 and .300 and .308 so far? Subs are not quiet enough yet he says? I cant get him to meet me at the range yet. But maybe a side by side will entice him? He also has some new smith that i havent met yet? If anything ill keep him busy for a while!
