Crimson Trace 201 on a FN 5.7

Magellan · Dec 15, 2012

Has anyone here put a Crimson Trace 201 Railmaster laser on their FN 5.7 ?
I have one on my Glock 32 and it works great..
The problem I have encountered is that there isn't enough elevation adjustment to get the laser up to point of impact.
Using a Bushnell Laser Bore Sighter it indicates that the laser is low about 4 inches at 15 ft and 8 in low at 30 ft.
Just wondering if anyone here has the same laser on their FN 5.7

How did you find a 5.7x28 boresighter? I've got one for my .45 but it'd be nice to have for the FsN too to make swapping my X5L back and forth easier.

Do you have one for the .223/5.56? If you do you have one for the 5.7x28. :?

I've just got a .45 sized laser round that I toss in the chamber. How do those work if they're a different caliber?

There are laser boresighters that fit in the bore, the bore of the .223, 5.56, and 5.7x28 are the same.

I was unaware of that, thank you very much! Do you recommend those all in one/variable size kits or individual sighters?

You're welcome.

I use a Site Lite boresighter, it covers .22 to .50 cal.

I'll reply to my own post ..Follow up. I got the CT 201 dialed in , not sure why the Bushnell Bore laser bore sight I used didn't get it closer. Right now I'm 5 shots in a quarter sized pattern at 35 ft. I also found a holster to accommodate the FN with the CT laser. It's a Tailor Tactical available on the Crimson Trace website https://www.crimsontrace.com/customer/account/login/ $35 delivered. Pic attached
