FX-9 Canadian Release!

[Mr Wolverine]

question.
will the new tariffs on aluminium and steel effect the future price in this and other firearms coming in?
this is assuming that the first batch of imports will not be.
thanks

Sorry but I have no idea.

Hi Mr Wolverine any news or eta on the fx9? Thanks

[Closecornet]

Second the ETA, I’m waiting!

I think September has been tossed around.

It’s a new release. ITAR on the us side, Canada customs on ours,and the manufacturer all will contribute to the delayed arrival.

Did anyone explain why we shouldnt use aluminum cased ammunition with this?

I did a quick google search but can't really find much

Adam,
Good morning. We always use Tulammo steel case and have never had an issue with it after over 10,000 rds put through our sample model. As for the aluminum, Because our bolt is compact and lighter, it unlocks faster and the aluminum casing tensile strength cannot withstand the high pressure as much as the steel and brass can and this has caused a few casings to split inside the chamber. This doesn’t happen with ALL aluminum but it is more likely to happen with aluminum than with steel and brass, so we just do not recommend aluminum. We use Tulamma and Magtech all the time for testing and have never had an issue with the casings. I hope this helps. Thank you for contacting us and have a good day.

Well that's good to know, thank you

I posted this in the other fx-9 thread but since this has more people i'm cutting and pasting:

so I just got voicemail from Wolverine with an update. The VM says they are now expecting shipments in October.....which i'm OK with.

The other piece of news is that due to 'increased costs' ie tariffs, material costs, exchange rate, etc the price is going up to $1049 (+$150 over previous quoted price). Pre-order people are being given the option of backing out. I have to think hard about whether I want it bad enough to warrant the price increase.

Wow ...

[Codyg14]

Got that call not long ago, still a good price as far as I'm concerned. Cheaper then beretta, kriss and about the same as the jr carbine/tnw.

Only thing thats cheaper would be a sub 2000 that I can think of.
