hitmanNo2 Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 Sorry NonEx. Don't you know FNX manuals are ITAR restricted. They are responsible for the deaths of millions of innocent people each year 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 (edited) Haha. I actually just played out that BS scenario in my head. Would not be surprised. Backup plan for manual is to print and make the booklet myself. And an FN branded lock should be easy to get on eBay or something like that. Registration card I can replicate. But you know, original is the best. Edited September 16, 2015 by NonEx Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Im going space Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 (edited) can someone measure the diameter and length (just the coiled bit) of the barrel -> hop unit spring? Edited September 18, 2015 by Im going space Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 Tritium vials installed! Was really fiddly. Took out the original insert. Separated the clear from the whites. Cut about 0.75mm off the top of the white conical inserts. Stretched them out gradually over hex bits up to 1.5mm. Put them over tritium vials. Had to use a needle file to enlarge the sight holes a bit to fit vials with whites around them. Inserted whites with tritium vials in them. Pushed into place with a punch, made sure they were fush. Used a precision glue applicator to drop in some glue from the back hole of the sights to secure them. In the red dot sight pic you can see the glass of the vials kinda act like fibre optics, so I will have to try and get some black paint in the back hole to stop light from leaking through. Comparison to A1A Glock sights. The vials are not as bright and sights not as good, but definitely good enough 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dj_komodo Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 Nice job with the vials:) don't forget to focus on the front sight when you shoot though 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 Here's a picture of the sights with some light on them. Instagram adjusted and filtered 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rusTORK Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 (edited) Look good. White rings isn't too big (or it's green dots are small)? Here is my (all empty space between saphire glass and inner walls was filled by white paint): Edited September 18, 2015 by rusTORK 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 (edited) Yeah I think it's the vials that are relatively small. Not much I can do. I actually like retaining much of the white dot for daylight use since the vials are not bright enough then to be useful. So this works for both daytime and night time. Oh yah, also the whites did get a little bigger since I had to enlarge the sight holes a little and stretch the whites for the vials to fit inside. Inside joke between me and rusTORK about what I hope I won't find in my OSP suppressor package that is inbound from him Edited September 18, 2015 by NonEx Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 I'm getting desperate now I just sent an email to gun YouTuber s00tch that I follow on YouTube hoping maybe he can help me out. At least the FN branded gun lock should be plentiful and easy to find someone willing to part with... All hands on deck please! Help me source these items: 1x FNX 45 Tactical Owners Manual (not available via manual request site: http://www.fnhusa.com/support/manuals/ ) 1x FN registration card 1x FN pistol cable lock 2x Plastic containers (for backstraps and RMR adapter plates) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaZero Posted September 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Have you tried giving uscmcorps a message? He might be able to give you a hand? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rusTORK Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 2x Plastic containers (for backstraps and RMR adapter plates) I think it's not FNH product. They simply bought it from other company. Look at Flex-A-Top Conttainers by LA Conteiners. But first you need to know what's original's container's size. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Good idea Delta. rusTORK, no of course it is not made by FN USA but since they include it in their OEM case they should be able to supply them as an item. Good tip on those containters though. I will try and figure out the dimensions from some screenshots etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dj_komodo Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 (edited) Alright time to close the thread, that's the best FNX we will ever see... What's the cycling like with the OSPREY?

Box L: 3,81cm W: 3.27cm H: 6.12cm Light L: 3.73cm W: 3.65cm H: 8.61cm OK, a god damn FN branded pistol lock left, manual should be provided by FN USA, as they are required to be able to supply replacements, and then the registration card. Original would be good, but photo copy or scanned copy will work and I can replicate it. Edited September 20, 2015 by NonEx Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 (edited) Aaaawh yeah! rusTORK OSP suppressor and A1A adapter packages ready for pickup Carrot, here I come! Well, I am happy, and slightly concerned. (about gun / gun parts screening through customs...) Did not even pass customs. Straight across the border to sorting facility and then to me No taxes nor customs duties. I got both the OSP and OSP thread kit today Thank you rusTORK for all your help and effort, I really appreciate it! Edited September 21, 2015 by NonEx 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dj_komodo Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Ace 1 Arms has released new suppressors and it seems like it is a AAC clone, exactly like the crusader version that I just bought. Now we know the reason why ace 1 arms doesn't want to make a new batch of osprey suppressors anytime soon. http://ace1arms.com/goods.php?id=332 Sorry for OT 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hitmanNo2 Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Surely there are European FN distributors you could try? I mean, it's not just the US that has FNXs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
