NonEx Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Back from where? Where is the mag leaking from? Bottom? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Im going space Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Friends house. Left it there a while back. Yeah the base. Ive siliconed the living hell out of it and am gonna give it overnight to see what it do. If not, boiling water time. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Nah brah! You probably have the bottom seal out of alignment. You gotta poke the front curves in place with a tool when you set the plate in there, otherwise they get pinched. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Im going space Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Hm. Maybe. I doubt it though. It's only a teeny leak. It's been left empty for a month and a bit and was fine before. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Bah. Do you have 0% humidity where it was stored and corrosive acid fumes in the air? Take it apart, clean it, relube it, put it back together, replace the standard orings. Boom! Good as new. Unless magazines make noise when I fill them, I don't consider it a "leak". If it takes days or weeks for the gas to escape, that's like whatevers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Im going space Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) Yeah its the lovely baseplate oring. As I say, it'll be a repair job before I get on to hk for another baseplate oring (or Hring rather) Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Edited October 7, 2015 by Im going space Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 I replaced my front sight screw today with one that has a screw head. The original screw is an M2.5x4mm hex/allen grub screw. It has a 1.3mm hex drive head. Got a laptop computer component screw from work that was M2.5x4.5mm with philips head from work. Filed down so it was like 3.75mm, to not interfere with the tritium insert. After I tightened it down I was like "Hmmm, what if I damaged the tritium vial?". So being the genius I am, I did a sniff test trying to detect a tritium leak, lol My front sigh tritium is still glowing so I don't think it broke Also installed my Azimuth RMR mount plate. The screws that came with it for installing the RMR were just a tad too short so they didn't get down to bite in the threading of the plate. Used a Dremmel to countersink the holes in the RMR a little bit further and then it worked Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 (edited) Yay-o! Got mah stuff in the mail today! RS backstraps fit without mods, but are very tight at the top, due to interfacing with the back end of the hammer housing. You would probably have to sand that down a bit to make it easier. I had to hammer the backstrap in place. And I will have to remove the hammer housing to get it off again RS magazine release spring also worked after bending it a little bit. So, FNX 45 Project RS Case is about 90% completed now. Just have to finish up the labels and registration card! Special thanks go out to aznriptide859, rusTORK and DJ_komodo Edited October 16, 2015 by NonEx 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Im going space Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 So. Who else is this happening to? Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hitmanNo2 Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 I would try CG on FB and try and get a warranty replacement on the spring. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Im going space Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Spring is fine. It happens to all the mags. The issue is that there's enough room for the springs to rotate in the feed tube and thus eject themselves out the front. They're easy enough to put back in because of this. The springs aren't wide enough/the hole in the front is too wide Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Ah right. I thought there was a kink defect in the spring causing it to pop out the front. I would still bring it up with CG and see if they'll tweak the spring width. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zereck Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Yeah happened to me two times now and at the first one I didn't notice it before slamming the magazine inside my pistol which made the spring unusable. :/ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NonEx Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 Welp My FNX has developed a severe case of sticky trigger/hammer. To the point where the de-cocker barely doesn't work and the hammer doesn't break until the trigger is forcefully squeezed all the way to the back... Guess I am taking my lower apart again to investigate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bankz5152 Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 Sorry to be mean but SO glad I never bought this. Just reinforces the fact that VFC sell externally stunning internally cheese *suitcase*. on my phone, my spelling will suck 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 (edited) Yeeh something's wack with it. I can see the sears lifting up all the way but hammer still doesn't drop Edited October 22, 2015 by NonEx Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 I almost feel bad for posting this here because it turned out so fricken good!!! I'm normally very critical of my own work, but I have to say, DAAAAYUM!! Even I am impressed Unboxing video coming tomorrow! Also, regarding my sticky trigger/hammer. I think I might know why. When I installed the RS backstrap I literally had to hammer it in place. I think either the pressure of the backstrap at the back of the hammer housing is causing issues, or something got misaligned from the hammering. Will take it apart tomorrow after I've done the unboxing video, file down the hammer housing chassi and see if that works better. Lubing up the hammer and sear area did help a little bit too.

Habakure Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 Sometimes a little bit of lube can go a long way. Just a bit mind, don't want too much. Too much and you bung it up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
