FN Herstal

Oh, and if you need any extra mags and have trouble finding them let me know. I have a local source that keeps them in stock for around $30...
 
Good deal.

Last year and a half or so they were pretty scarce and running $60-$90. Good to see they're more readily available. Probably goes without saying, but steer clear of the super cheap Chinese knock-offs. They're junk...
 
Small update...

I cut the spacers out of the 30 round magazines to make them 50 rounds.

The springs look identical.

So it was an easy fix.
I don't have any pics yet AND I may irritate some, but I cut 2" off a perfectly good fresh out of the plastic Magpul windowed AR magazine for a case catcher, then I went whole assed with some Velcro to keep the magazine, baseplate and RDS cover in place.
I will get some pics up later.
 
I was hoping to get to the range yesterday, but life got in the way, soon I hope! I have three new to me firearms I haven't shot yet :rolleyes:
 
Well, there's your problem!

Us fat guys have plenty of time to shoot. Good luck with the training bro, 50 miles is no joke...
 
Here is what I did for the case catcher!

Mine ended up being a BNIP Magpul windowed AR magazine, however I took about 2" off the top.

Added a little industrial strength Velcro.

And Viola!

Here is the difference.

And with the full length Magpul

I decided on how much I should cut the magazine buy dumping 50 pieces of 5.7x28 brass into it and seeing where it filled to, there is a dust cover that needed to be removed in the opening, but that was a simple spring detent.
The magazine actually snapped into the opening, but I didn't know how long that would last, that is why I used Velcro, I also added a small patch on the RDS cover and RH side to keep it from being a nuisance, along with the lanyard, it should be around for a bit.
 
Nicely done!

That oughtta really confuse bystanders at the range. I can imagine the sideways looks... :confused:
 
Well done, like to see DIY solutions to things.
 
Finally got around to shooting the PS90, I like it, a lot! I only got 100 rounds through it, but it worked flawlessly, I needed to adjust the RDS and I forgot the little Allen wrench for that, but a little Kentucky Windage goes a long way.
We set up at 25 yards and my eyes just don't see small at distance...

My brass catcher worked as I had hoped and I didn't lose any brass :)
I took my Five-seveN too, but I figured I would save a little ammo, it was a good day, been quite some time since I had spent 4 hours at the range.
 
Wow, what a great looking range!

Glad to see it ran well and that your brass catcher worked as intended...
 
Thanks! It's a Lions Club who runs the range, it's set up to 200 yards, they also have a 25yd pistol and a real nice shotgun stand, it's surrounded by 1/2 million dollar houses too!
 
Had an extra nylon three point or two laying around and I repurposed the straps, buckles, tri-glides and a D-ring into a sling harness for the Ps90...



The D-ring is very secure and supports the weight of the weapon nicely. The buckles were a must for the set-up since the butt pad slides off to allow access to the guts for disassembly...






Took a bit of doing, but it worked out and looks like it will hold up well...
