I started with a bone stock P320 M17 with no safety. I installed it in the Raider per instruction vid.
"For the good of the order" I just tested my safety. I dropped both mags, locked back the slide, visually and manually checked clear, dropped the slide, and dry fired. Racked the slide again and engaged the safety. No amount of pressure on the trigger moved the safety or sent the striker forward. I disengaged the safety and the trigger operated normally and it dry fired. |

Interesting, it must be the extra little safety blade in the trigger shoe of the agency trigger, becuase i can pull mine off safe every time with just the trigger. Might have to swap the big ol stock hook back in, which im not a huge fan of.
Anyone has luck running a suppressor, please post your setup if you can. Spring weights, ammo, slide type, can, etc. IM still waiting on my DPS system (It was 'in stock' at Opticsplanet when i ordered it...3 weeks ago...) as my stock setup will not eject, even far enough to pull the case out. I know it can be done, i just want to get it there. |

I have both the MP17 and the Raider, the raider does not have the removable plate.
I also am using it with an "official" Sig M17 complete with the little Army band that came with it. Mine did not come with a safety on the FCU. Both options existed, at least they did at one point. |

I dont have can height sights for the sig, but i really doubt it. Not sure why you'd want them with the RDS mounted on top. Shoot with both eyes open and you shoot thru the can anyway, but that might just be me.
On that note, if you do get one of these to run with a can on it, i'd appreciate the details on your setup that works. Still fighting mine. |

I’m guessing it’s more of an issue with your gun/can running together than it is with the Flux itself. I’d try asking for suggestions over at the NFA forum, maybe they can help. |

Ok, this thing is sweet. Unfortunately, I had to adjust the rear sight on my X5 to make it clear the top, so the BUIS aren’t zeroed anymore. The X300 is a placeholder until I can get my hands on a TLR7.

How are you guys who own these liking them? Worth it?
I've been trying to get my hands on one for months and have no idea how some of you got them. I was close on the drop about a month ago cause someone gave me a heads up about it. Added it to my cart, used autofill to populate everything, hit submit, none in stock. Tried a bunch more times and by 2min after the drop, i gave up. I've signed up for the in stock notifications last year sometime, now the new newsletter that's supposed to let you know when they are in stock but I have never received a single email from them. If any of you here about another drop, I'd appreciate a PM! |

Just wait a few minutes next time. I got my order through within 30 seconds of going live and it glitched once but I must have gotten there before the traffic hit. Two of my buddies ordered them too, one waited about 30 minutes and the other waited almost two hours and both got orders in. They were in stock for a good 3-4hr before selling out.

No fucking way they had more than 5 of them for sale. I can not check out any faster than I did these past 2 releases. It doesn't make sense for me bother with this any longer when they can't seem to make more than 5 or so every couple of months. How the hell do they even stay in business selling a handful of things a month? I'm done with them. Won't give them a fucking $1 of my money.

I struggled to get mine to run before finding a combo that works MOST of the time. my FCU was brand new from a factory M17, if that matters.
I tried: GGP barrel Griffin Barrel (Flux recommended) with: Obsidian 9 Osprey 9 Swapped both pistons around and had constant FTE's. Ended up trying one of those griffin "CAM LOK" barrel attachments and Osprey piston and its been 99% reliable. bonus, you can take the osprey on and off without stripping the slide off. Just one data point, but hope it helps. |
