Help: FX-9 FTE

[bobsaggot]

Good afternoon all,

I've been experiencing FTE issues with my FX-9, where the empty casing and the new cartridge would mash together in the chamber. Some details regarding my issue:

-Using 124gr 9mm Blazer ammo
-Shot a total of 350 rounds so far
-Issue occurs with both PMag and included magazine
-Rifle was lubricated and subsequently dry. I'm going to shoot some more rounds next weekend with the rifle wet
-Usually occurs half-way through the magazine, but not always

Thanks in advance for your suggestions to rectify this issue.

Mine did the same when new, I sent it to Wolverine under warranty and it’s ran great since. I believe it is an issue with the extractor. There is a video (YouTube ?) that shows you how to do it if you don’t want to send it away.

How can these firearms even leave the factory with such a known a repeat issue!

Here’s the link from the other thread for the extractor mod that fixes the issues I did it on mine and it cycles like a dream now about 2000rds no issues since.

Here is a link to the minor extractor mod that can be done to improve ejection apperantly. Freedom Ordnance does this mod now on all FX-9 moving forward.

Thanks for the advice guys, I saw a video on applying O-rings to the extractor spring, but I like the idea of filing down the ramp as it's more permanent. I'll reach out to the manufacturer to determine the turn-around time before venturing this way.
