I’m wanting to handle one. Throw a can on it and could be a handy little varmint gun around the farm

Not great, not bad. I think it's growing on me. It wasn't as comfortable as the factory setup with a magpul CTR installed. I moved that to my PC 9mm carbine. I would love to buy another factory folding stock hinge and strut and put back on it..with a CTR as well. However, it's fine with the midwest industries stock.

The stock setup it comes with is just fine.

If it had more recoil, the one I added would not be too comfortable.

What is the velocity increase over a handgun like the ruger or fn?
View Quote


In Paul Harrell's latest video....over 400 FPS more in the carbine compared to the pistol with the 40 grain ammo. Roughly 2100 compared to 1700.

Shot mine today using the psa magazines if anyone was curious.
It functioned 100%.
I need a dot.
My eyes are getting bad enough I didn't shoot well.

How much $ was the gun in your area?
Link Posted: 9/25/2022 1:38:04 PM EDT
[#11]
Ahh you would have to ask.
I think it was a little over $800 after tax but I have the CRS right now.

Also purchased Rugers new sfar 308 but that one I know was just over $1000 after tax.
And I'm glad they put a brake on that little beast.
Need to find a soft pad for the magpul stock on it.

First he was hammering it because it wasn't as effective as a 5.56.....well no shit..haha.

I don't think anyone thinks of it as better or equal to a 5.56. It is what it is, and I think it should be compared to a 9mm carbine. In that comparison, I think it is the winner. Even though I have both of course;)

I saw and handled one at my local fun store last weekend, even before I knew it was 57 it caught my eye.  I think it looks nice/quality and feels and manipulates great.  I was ready to buy but I am mot sure if it takes FN mags but sounds like not…so I’d need a bunch more mags.  Which is OK

Priced under $700, $650-ish maybe?

Yes, if you cut the handguard just past the first full size MLOK slot a 10" barrel would stick just past. Doesn't look like a clean spot to cut the handguard without cutting through a partial hole/slot. If that makes sense.
View Quote

Speaking of chopping the handguard...
I haven't decided if I like the handguard extending all the way to the end of the barrel, so I did a quick-dirty photoshop of the handguard being chopped right ahead of the 2nd full-size MLOK slot.  It looks like if you do a diagonal cut as shown, you might be able to just get through the slots without cutting one in half.  (yes, I know the barrel fluting would show... it's just a quick p-chop to get an idea of the overall look)


Lightens up the look of the rifle, giving it a little more traditional look, and still leaves 2 full MLOK's side and bottom to mount some accessories if desired.  

Not sure that I am ready to take the chopsaw to my handguard quite yet , but hopefully MI or someone will offer a shorter one ready-made.

Edit to add -- looks like it might also be a candidate for the SIG "minimalist" folding stock instead of the very bulky-looking OEM one.  A light rifle like this that has nearly zero recoil just doesn't need a big buttstock, IMHO.

I like it, but I'm on the fence as I have a Ruger 5.7 pistol and a PS90 w/ a 16"bbl.  Adding this seems redundant but I kinda want one.  I also like the KelTec P50 as a Charger type of pistol with a bipod.  If the Ruger LC had a larger capacity mag, that could be used in the Ruger 5.7, then it would be a buy for me, but a 20rd mag makes it a little less desirable IMHO.  I'll need to fondle one and read more reviews before dropping the coin on a LC Carbine, KelTec P50 or in true ARFCOM fashion, both.

I handled one the other day, looks like it has a pic rail attachment and the stock tube does not appear to be mil-spec, it's kind of oval shaped.

I wanted to do the same thing.

$662 would have been GREAT -- I missed it.  :(

Now up to $733 at GAG.
Not bad considering all my LGS prices are still at $799 to $849, but by the time I add in shipping and the transfer fee to that $733, we're right up there close to my local prices to make it worthwhile going mail-order.

Anyone see any better prices?

I'd be interested if:  1) I didn't already have a PS90 SBR and an FN 5.7 Pistol
                            2) There was any easy way to SBR this gun

Its easier to sbr than a P90: undo three screws to remove handguard. Cut barrel to desired length. Reinstall handguard.

Has anyone put a muzzle device on theirs yet?
I suppose a regular AR flash hider would look dorky.
Maybe not.
I just can't leave a barrel that's threaded without something on it.

With as non existent as the recoil is you really do not need one. Even a suppressor seems kinda silly as it is not going to quiet the pew like a .22 can be.

If the pistol grip is not the serialized part, the easily removable grip/magwell plus the 2-piece bolt suggest magwell modularity and possible caliber changes. This is a much more attractive layout than the PC Carbine, to me at least, for a 9mm. And the grip front-to-back length should allow for 10mm or 45ACP using common mags.

I wish I stocked up when my lock shop was selling american eagle for $15 a box. Didn't have a 5.7 and the market at the time, probably wouldn't.

I picked one up from Bud's a few weeks ago.

Been to the range twice with it. About 200 rounds thru it so far. American Eagle mostly, some Gold Dot and also some FN V-Max loads. Flawless operation so far. Loaded from both an open bolt and closed bolt and racking. No issues.

Happy with the purchase. I've shot 5.7 handguns before and like the cartridge. I put a Holosun 503CU Green Dot on it with the high mount. Fits nicely. Also put on a Lantec Linear Comp. No change in POA/POI.

As other have mentioned, recoil is almost nil. Like a .22 imo. Accuracy is spot on. Cloverleaf groups at 15 yds and not much bigger at 25. I'll try it at 50 and 100Y next weekend.

I shot mine with a 5.56 suppressor and it ran smoothly with no loss of accuracy. A bit muzzle heavy with the can however.

Would like to find a source for a mag holder. The magazine has a unique size so nothing I own seems to fit it well.

I'm really on the fence on this one.  I have a Ruger 57 and a PS90 so I can go with this and use the Ruger 20rd mags or I can get a AR57 upper, put it on a spare lower and use the PS90 50rd mags.  Anyone have accuracy comparison on the 2?  But then again, with a PS90, why do I need the LC Carbine?
