Try putting it in your freezer, let it sit for a few hours then try a stiff brush muzzle end first again. Don't laugh it's worked before, dissimilar metals contract at different rates, give it a try. Good luck oh and Happy FN New Year!

My wife's sewing kit has all kinds of curved hooks and other torture devices. Those and a bamboo skewer got me these. Not 100% sure it's clear. It will feed a snap cap, but I still think I see something in there. I'm half blind, though.

I would definitely send it in. I think I might have been the first KB! with it. They had mine and others for 4 months upgrading them.

Definitely contacting them Monday. I just got notice about an hour ago that my Form 1 has been submitted. I'd rather it not blow up on me now.

My Vepr-12 SBS is no longer the king-hell problem child of my collection.

P50 is heading back to FL, just waiting on the label. CS was good and hassle free. That's always a plus.

The MP12 is going back to S&W also. This was the range trip of the damned.

Well it sounds like it will be a good thing that I will likely have to wait for summer before I can buy one ..... maybe by then they will have all the bugs worked out ...... it just looks like it will be a fun little pistol to shoot and mess with. Just had my PS90 back to the range after my upper upgrade to the Effen90 ..... still love that thing

I received the P50 back from Kel-Tec today. They replaced the bolt group assembly with the updated version. They also serviced the chamber (noted as a 3-step honing process). They test fired it with 10 rounds of ss198LF and 10 rounds of AE...no issues.
I can't get out to give it a test run until next week. But if nothing else, the service was impressive. I called them last Monday, FedEx picked it up Wed and they had it fixed the following Monday afternoon. Total turnaround of week and a half, including travel time.
Here's some pics of the work done (you can compare it to my earlier pics):

Also picked up a new optic for it while it was on its little vacation. I can't use the factory sights...too old/blind.

So, I've been sitting on the stamp for the P50 for a few weeks, and figured I may as well get it slapped together. Everything seems stout enough, and shouldering it is definitely preferable to that SAS style sling shooting I was doing with it. SAS is my actual initials by the way, not that it really matters.
I know Kel-Tec has a stock set up in the works, but it looked too weird for me...that's saying a lot too.
Anyways...would I buy it again? Who knows? I'd probably opt for another shotgun. I love shotguns. But I'm kind of married to it now. So, let the good times roll.

With PS90 SBR for comparison:

As an SBR goes I still think the original P90/PS90 is still the king, just look at the size difference. As a pistol goes, that you can cross state lines without the hassles of the NFA, the Kel-Tec is still a very viable option. The whole allure of it is the 50 rounds you get in the handgun. Some have made improvements to the FN 5.7 mag getting you 30 rounds and for the size/carrying ability that's pretty awesome too (and what I currently go with when out of state as a secondary in a backpack).
Now there's the new player in town, the PSA Dagger 5.7 with a factory threaded barrel and optic cut slide and 24 rounds....should be a neat offering.

 

[akitainu]

I couldn't agree more about the PS90 SBR. It trumps the P50 SBR across the board...size, ease of manipulation and dependability. P50 is mostly what I consider a "fun gun".
As far as travel and NFA hoop jumping goes, that's a valid point. But I never leave TX. All my travel is in state.

I have my eyes on that 5.7 Dagger. It looks very appealing on a lot of fronts. But I'll wait until they've been in a wild a bit before joining that party. I have a pretty spotty record with early adoption.

 

[Milspec]

Are these P50s sorted out yet? Every review I've seen people seem to like them. Even when they thought they wouldn't they still did.

Accuracy reports seem very good. I just have my reservations being that it's a Keltec. PSA has been selling them like hot cakes. In and out of stock the last 2 days at a decent price.

 

[Buffman]

I just wouldn't run hot loads out of them because they're straight blow back

Just no crazy hand loads. I'm assuming SS198 and SS192 would be ok?

As long as you have one with the newer bolt carrier group, yes they will be fine..

 

[Captiva]

Anyone have a reference pic of unpolished vis-a-vis polished bolt rods? TIA

Here's the review. I might publish it Thursday:
