Last year a friend of mine experienced cold-weather malfunctions w/his PS90 (trigger bar wouldn't reset after a shot, something in the trigger pack wasn't moving forward properly). Has anyone else experienced this problem or heard of a fix for it? TIA!...

How cold was it?

I will never experience that here in Texas...

I don't remember specifically but he said it was close to 0F if not below. I tested mine in the 'teens and didn't have any problems.

Well, I could see oil that got in it possibly causing a problem...

OP already got an answer on another forum, with nice pictures etc on how to oil his gun.

and since FN tests their weapons to -40°C, i'd say it's no problem at all if your weapon is maintained correctly.

I'll brave the cold and take it out shooting on a nice clear cold January day. It's in the low 30s now and I'll let you know.

I have to say that shooting when it is in the negatives is not to plesant.

i'm not sure if Ship will appreciate a direct link, but i suppose he can easily delete my post if he has a problem with it.

"Site #x" was the forum i saw the explanation on, but i dont have the time to dig up the exact link. but the title should be the same as this thread.

Admin Edit - sorry, had to remove the link - see my post below...

Well, linking to any other FN related site is against forum rules..

Haha... No biggie.. Thanks for the reminder. I fixed it - it was too early in the morning when I posted that.

I finally sighted in my ps90 this weekend! It was about 41 degrees out. I fired 100 rounds. I was shooting 10 shot mag loads. After charging the rifle, the first round fired every time. Although, 3 times, the second round failed to load. Thats a 30% follow up round failure rate!

I think I read on another post that this failure can be caused by not letting the bolt slam forward after pulling it back. I will continue to test the cold weather as the winter in Illinois comes on.
