The remaining rounds were used for windage and otherwise shooting for groups. The optic adjustment is a bit weird, plus I had to wait on a second screw adjustment washer to complete the setup. Once locked in it seems to stay there but the adjustment process is such that there’s really no adjusting for windage or elevation ‘on the fly’ like with the rear iron sight on an A2 and no turrets as on any other optic. The FN is a 1x and it still has some radioactive life remaining though I did also get a REM illuminator. I really dig it. 
 Attached File Attached File Attached File. The front objective is below the line-of-sight of the rear ocular. Naturally this tightens up the height-over-bore.  Attached File. Best pic I could get of the reticle. The actual view has the outer ring almost aligned with the opening. There is also a very small dot in the center  Attached File |

Nice rifle! I don't own a PS90 yet, I need to add one to my collection. When I pick one up I want the factory optic, specifically the black one.

Personally I prefer the design machines mounts and a mro or aimpoint myself. I'd also form 1 that gun and switch it to the shorter barrel.

I think mine only took maybe half a mag, but I don’t fault you, the adjustment is definitely different and kinda wonky. I didn’t use the tool, just an Allen key and flathead. I think there are much better sights available, and the DM mounts really help them with the HOB associated with rails. Still, the OEM sights retain the correct look of the SBR PS90, which is more important to me than absolute top performance. If I were building a rifle for serious use, it wouldn’t be a PS90 SBR in the first place.
I’ve had all of the OEM sights by now, and the black ring is hard to beat. There are push button LED variants out now though. I picked up an LED white ring/fiber optic, and the white ring is actually WAY more usable than on my old polymer white ring. Like, it’s actually serviceable in a lot of lighting conditions, whereas the earlier polymer one was all but invisible except in certain lighting conditions. The LED illumination is NICE, but I don’t really need it most of the time. The FO works pretty good. ETA: DEF do a form 1. SBR’ing my PS90 is easily one of the coolest gun related things I’ve ever done. I never regret a stamp, but the SBR PS90 is beyond cool. |

It's easy to get tritium, probably too easy.
I've purchased from here before: https://www.mixglo.com/store/c1/Featured_Products.html No problems with shipping and items arrived exactly as described. AJ |

I think the tritium is just glued to the outside of a window, under a blob of silicone type material.

You remove the old clear silicone and insert the correct size tritium capsule (or as close as you can find) into the sight and cover it with clear silicone.
When I get home I’ll see if I can find the thread on how to do it. |

I originally have the black ring sight.
Then recently went with a Leupold Prismatic on a Tros sight. Excellent sight & great on a 90. But I also had a green fiber optic sight sitting. Figured the Prismatic would be bettwr served on another weapon where the 2nd ring sight I could not use with anything else. When i bought it I definitely liked it better than the original black soght. Just a hair larger but more importantly I had less reflection on the objective than I did with the black ring sight. Now I finally SBR’d it & decided the small form factor was most important to me so I installed the green dot fiber ring sught as well as a REM illuminator for it just because I figure get it now before I mount the sight. Before: 
Now: 
Just got done & still need to sight it in. Already laser bore sighted it. Just from mounting & bore sighting I know it wont be as easy as the rest. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: That’s a good looking setup. Pic of green illuminated reticle per chance? Also can replace the single 2032 battery with dual 2016 batteries to increase the REM output. I still have the single 2032 in it. Just Fiber-Optic/tritium. Overhead Room Lights Off.

Neat, looks like a slick efficient package, that makes me want one. But I’m getting a small human in November so no new guns for a long time probably. Wedding next month
plus small human latter this year = broke.
Is the non lit part white or is that a optical illusion from the camera? |

The circle/T reticle is white. Etched maybe.
On the black aka secret service ring sight the circle/T is black and the T is lit by tritium in darkness - amber or red if I remember correctly. Thanks & congratulations btw |

I personally had my factory barrel cut down but here is an original. TSC Machine did the sbr work on my gun and did the barrel threading. He did the barrel on a friends gun too and both have been good. I liked where he put the engraving too, most I've seen were put higher. 
His logo is hidden by the charging handle when forward. |

As to SBR barrels for the PS90, Mark McWillis of TROS has cut and properly threaded over 1,000 to date.
When he cuts a barrel it’s virtually indistinguishable from a FACTORY P90 barrel. |

Last thing I ordered from him(3 lug adapter) took 13 months to get(he said they were in stock when I ordered). Luckily I wanted it as a spare. A lot of people have complained about his delays. |

No problems at all getting SBR barrels.
