The Freedom Ordnance FX-9 OWNERS thread.

[Robt6440]

I'm really enjoying my fx9. I've had no feeding, extracting issues with mine. Shooting Blazer Brass 124 gr. I do notice a loud twang or "sproing" from the buffer spring. Someone posted (don't know where) that pulling the buffer and spring, then dropping in a stack of 8 quarters down the tube and replacing the spring and buffer improves function. Is this true or am I gullible? Thanks

Disregard. I found this in the FX-9 upgrade thread. Apparently the buffer travels too far in the tube so this reduces the travel.

Can anyone tell me if there is different generations of the fx-9 and how to tell them apart. I was lucky enough to find a new one at my local shop and would like to know what I have.

Thanks

Unfortunately the handles are proprietary.
I mounted one of these latches. Cut, welded and filed it onto the original.

A few others have mounted one of these latches, which from the sounds of it only requires filing to the proper thickness and redrilling the hole.

Hey what is everyone using for cleaning kits.

The enhanced charging handle really makes a difference! need to find a decent cleaning kit though

 

[GuiltySpark]

Can anyone recommend one of those tactical rifle or shotgun scabbards that would fit an fx-9?

I use a 9mm Otis pistol cleaning kit. But then I use the rods and cables for rifles for the brushes.

Monday night, when I went searching for one, I had to search deep through several Google pages of 'Out of Stock' retailers.
I found one retailer with 9 for pre-order, kept going and found & ordered one from @ Londero's, tracking shows it 'Out for Delivery'. ATM, Londero's is Out of Stock.
At the time of this post, Gun Dealer in NB still has 8 available for pre-order, not sure on delivery ETA.

A few Mods with an experimental ERGO grip just to see how it feels. A new flat top ERGO from Bullseye London is being delivered.

Any suggestions for a $500ish (or less) red dot for the FX-9? Was looking at the Vortex SPARC AR but not sure now.

I just put a Vortex Crossfire11 on my PCC I don't have. For a $199 it is a heck of a sight. I have the Sparc11 on a CX4 Storm and it is $100 more and is no better of an optic in my opinion. The newer red dots seem to be much smaller. Worth a look.

Quick question, FX-9 in the mail just getting some pieces for it. Looking to switch the buffer spring out. I'm looking at a carbine length one right? Not rifle?
