I've got 700 rounds through mine as of today. Didnt have a single issue in the first 300, changed the trigger out for hyperfire at the 100 mark. Today put 400 rounds through it (3 manufactures 7 loadings) had about 4 of these failures to extract in the first 150-200 and then good rest of the day, 4 different styles of mags. In mine at least it only seems to become an issue if there's a lighter charged round, ymmv. In mine I'm hoping its purely a not clean problem as I've only oiled and not properly cleaned it yet.

What ammo are you running? Assuming brass case?

If you want to sell it cheap I'm interested. Or I'll trade you straight up for a Sub 2000. It goes bang every time. Reliable as Old Faithful.

And that would be why I asked the question in their forum. Thought there may be tips from other owners as well.
If you read the FX9 thread in Black Rifles, it's pretty clear I'm not the only one with these issues so I don't know if "lemon" applies here.

Warranty and Customer Concerns:
The first shipment of FX-9 rifles are in the Canadian market and below is the procedure.

2. Customer will be contacted by Freedom Ordnance within two business days to address the issue.
3. If Freedom not able to correct via email then Freedom will issue a return label to have rifle returned to Wolverine for repair.
4. Wolverine will repair, test and return to customer.
All firearm issues require the above documents to be completed so ALL issues can be tracked, including any feeding and operation issues. If you do not report them, we cannot address them.
Ammunition Options and Lubrication:
We have found that many FX-9’s are being under lubricated. These are new firearms and require generous lubrication prior to being used on the range. Use a good quality gun oil such as Bore Tech, G-96.
We recommend round nose FMJ 115 gr to get started. We would recommend starting with Aguila 115 gr, Magtech 115 gr, Tulammo 115 gr, PMC 115gr round nose projectiles.
We don't recommend aluminum case ammunition , truncated and certain hollow point designs don't feed very well.
Thin plated bullets and or cast projectiles with only a thin coating of wax or copper will be less reliable then a true jacketed projectile.
