    I never did post pics of what is likely the final configuration. All that I see possibly changing is the muzzle device for a suppressor mount, but to be honest the tiny size is what appeals and I really don’t need to quiet it.

    How are you making use of the light without a tape switch?

    Ain’t elegant, but it works for on/off. This is a very limited purpose toy, if I decide it will become a primary house gun (doubtful) I’ll look at other options.

    Got it.

    If you didn't want to mess around with a tape switch, an offset mount might work well, too. I think Surefires come on cantilevered mounts as standard, now.

    The PS 90 is an exceedingly cool and reliable rifle that I just don't use at all any more. I would be happy to pass it along if this interests any of you. It was a project I worked quite hard on. Then haven't shot for years.

    This is sort of a for sale post, but you can also use it to see what a money pit these can be and also maybe for ideas for your own build.


    Here is what I have along with current retail prices:



    FN PS 90 with barrel machined to 10.5 inches Tax stamped as an SBR: $1500

    Gemtech SAR 5.7 Screw on silencer also tax stamped NFA Item: $600

    Aimpoint micro H1: $600

    Streamlight TLR-1 older: $100

    QD sling mounts installed


    Rifle with ad ons total: $2800



    10 extra magazines (8 are new in box): $40 X 10= $400
    800 FNH SS197SR ammunition @ 0.75 each: $600

    1800 SS198LF ammunition @0.95 each: $1710

    1175 Federal American Eagle 40gr ammunition @ 0.55 each: $646

    Ammo and Mag total: $3356



    Retail total: $6156 I did not include the tax stamps in the total.

    -It has fired 775 rounds and zeroed for 100 yards.

    - I have original box.

    Selling it is a PITA due to the tax stamps involved. I suppose I would be better just keeping the suppressor for another application and selling the rest of the accessories. Or maybe just have a shoot party with some friends and shoot the crap out of it

    I keep wanting a P90, but then I remember the cartridge is lame and underpowered, yet also expensive. Someone needs to make a P90-style bullpup in 9mm with the magazine over the action, except use a helical magazine like the Calico Liberty.

    I like the idea theoretically, but unfortunately this thing is absolutely tiny. I swear I had handguns that were almost as big (sorry that was a joke). Look at Ken's photo where he reaches with his thumb to the light on top. Because it's so small, I have to crouch uncomfortably over and around it. My neck is too long for a P90. *sad trombone sound*
