I had a little time to swing by the range after work today. Only put 50 rounds through it and I can't wait to put a whole lot more. Functioned flawlessly. As it is a tilt action style pistol masquerading as a carbine, the recoil impulse is very strange to me but incredibly soft. There's a little flex in a the brace that may contribute to both those observations. I need to pay a bit more attention, but I just didn't have the time today. I was just ripping through the mags to make sure it functions The thing is dead nuts accurate also. Amazing what an extra point of contact can do. Holes on holes without even trying, so I think it's safe to say the silencerco barrel is good to go. The trigger sucks, but not because it actually sucks. It doesn't feel like a pistol so I'm trying to run it like my ARs. Just something I need more practice with. |

I put another 200 rounds through mine. Still using the same ammo I used prior to the comp, the Winchester forged 115gr, and it was too underpowered with the added weight of the comp. With a hundred rounds I ran out of that I had about six failures to eject. The other hundred rounds was S&B 124gr, and that ran flawlessly. This thing is just so much fun to shoot, so easy to control. At 15 yards I can rip 6 shot all center mass on a silhouette as fast as I can pull the trigger. still room for improvement as double taps I can keep 2 inch apart.
It has definitely replaced my 6" 300 BLK as my favorite shooter. Once I get a can for the mp17, it'll be about the same size as my 300 without a can.  Attached File |

This thread is easy to fap to.
A micro 9mm can on that would be sweet. Now, waiting for my MP17 is both hard to fap to, and not sweet at all. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: No cross bolt safety but I do have covers in its place. Give em a call and ask for the covers for the manual safety if they can’t help for a while I will send you mine. Hey man! I am sorry I did not see that email sooner. We apologize the safety covers were not installed already. I just got your package ready and it is going out today. You should be seeing the tracking number today. The side covers are really easy to install but the crossbolt safety cover has a ball detent system that keeps it in. When you install that just remember that the spring goes in the hole first, then the ball bearing, and then slide in the crossbolt safety cover. If you are having issues getting it to go in just let us know and we will help you through it but it is pretty straight forward. Thanks for letting us know man!

I shot them an email to see if I could get an updated timeline. They shut down production to make some changes so the Legion X5 trigger pack would work.
Yes I can give you the best estimate. I am guessing that we will be fulfilling September orders for the next month and a half and then we will be getting to the November Black Friday orders. We did help our manufacturer get more machines though to make our parts faster, so we have good reason to believe that the wait will be shorter than that. We are sorry man, we know it has been a long wait already. |

anybody here have the B&T chassis to compare to? Have my P320 SBRd, was originally going to go with the B&T but this has me intrigued. However, the B&T seems like something you could actually holster and carry. The Flux looks neat and all, but seems overly large compared to the B&T.

Nothing really new to add. I've put more ammo through it and it's still running well and it's still a fun. No real complaints. I could say the cheek weld sucks, but I knew that going in just by design.
I do want to improve slide manipulation though. I have two modifications to the slide I'm considering. 1) Drill and tap a couple holes on the left side for a scalded down and 3D printed Aug-styled charging handle. 2) Remove the front sight post and have a round aluminum bar machined to press into the dovetail to use as a charging handle...though a bit closer to the muzzle than I'd prefer. |

What about 3D printing some "bumps" for the front of the slide like the B&T USW? You'd still have to drill and tap them though.

The 1913 rail on the back of the Strike is a good idea, as that is trending towards the standard.
But other than that...still waiting for my Flux. |

I was a Black Friday order as well and have been in contact with Alex from Flux back and forth and received this email from him on 03FEB. I cannot wait to get mine!! As for what he means by best estimate as of right now my question prior was whether or not he would meet the previous commitment of mid-Feb for date of completion. (I think that is what he is referring to)
Hey man! Yes our manufacturer has now doubled their output on our parts and so we have been getting our parts in faster. Because of the faster rate of parts we are getting we have finally begun to fulfill the majority of our September orders which are the customers that have been waiting the longest to get their MP17 orders. But once we get through those we will be on our next batch which is the Black Friday November sales like your order. We are so grateful and appreciative of your patience man. That is our best estimate as of right now but since we are getting our parts in I have confidence in us being able to get these out. Alex Support FLUX DEFENSE 801-999-8115 |

what barrel did you go with? I was hoping to keep my M17's loaded chamber indicator intact. I have seen a jig that will help you file out a p320 barrel but I am not sure I want do do that, either. BarSto barrels are wildly overpriced IMO.

Only problem is I still can't get my 320 to cycle with a suppressor on it... Not sure what options I have... I guess I can try the DPM recoil spring. Pricey at $100 bucks. Anyone else have problems with a supressor? My slide is a compact. |

Mine arrived today. However....
I started off with full size slide, red box regular 320 with a Griffin barrel. Lots of binding on the slide. Then I tried the OEM barrel. No binding, but the guide rod would still stick out like the gun wasn't in battery. I fiddled with it for a bit and then My slide locked up. It will only move about a half an inch. Thoughts? I'm normally avoid beta testing, but I figured it just a frame. |

The slide release lever is very, very tight. It wasn't seated properly. Took a fair amount of pressure with a pair of knipex wrench pliers to get the lever alway the way seated. |

Hi ———. We are sorry about the wait. We wish we could get it out to you by today but we are waiting on parts to come in and so we won't be able to build any MP17's out for about a week and a half to two weeks. Happy Birthday though!

(Order #101XX) They actually spent money to purchase their manufacturer more machines to make their stuff. It's refreshing to see the guys at Flux truly are "gun guys" and not just peeps looking to make money And if you ever have an issue with their products, theyll bend over backward to make it right. If these are anything like the Glock lineup they have, the wait will be absolutely worth it, IMO. |

How is the front magwell not a front grip?
Speaking strictly in a get your shit pushed in by the ATF if seen in use? |

A vertical grip or fore grip is one that is 90 degrees perpendicular with the fore-end of the firearm and is designed to be used as hand grip.
A mag holder is designed to hold an additional magazine and is not perpendicular with the fore-end. Therefore, whether it’s viewed as a mag holder or angled fore-grip, neither of those meet the definition of a vertical grip/fore-grip. |

There is no statutory definition of a vertical fore grip, we’re all working off common sense and opinion that can change depending on how the wind blows. Did Flux clear this design with the ATF? I genuinely don’t know. |
