REM T3 – P90/PS90 White Ring Sight Fix

I was first clued into the Real FN P90 Ring Sights by Arnie’s member, Stealth Bomber.

A friend of mine and fellow Gunatics admin, Fatcat (And Real Steel FaaREAK!), was able to find 1 of the the Real FN P90 Ring Sights for me and I was able to purchase it relatively cheap. Apparently real P90 owners have been swapping these out due to how hard they are to use. Cat then pointed me to Reticle Enhancement Module T3 (REM T3) thread on FNForum.

This is a very straight forward and relatively inexpensive add-on, which make the passive FN Holographic White Ring Sight more easily viewable with the addition of an active LED. The REM T3’s come in the following colors: Amber, Red, Green. White and Blue. I went with Blue because it’s different then what most people have been ordering in Red and Green. The unit is powered by a single CR2032 coin cell and rheostat switch is easy to operate.

The main body is a plastic resin and was designed to fit in the front sing well just under the site. A bit of sanding was needed to fit my Tokyo Marui P90. But the design of the REM T3 is solid and it’s now a great fit. The LED is pressure fit into the light collector of the Ring Sight.

The rheostat is extremely easy to operate and very easy to see what power levels you are running.

The reticle is now very easy to acquire and use for targetting. Highly visible, even in full direct daylight.

FN P90 Reflex Ring Site – Picture from Wikipedia

The early Real Steel, FN P90’s shipped with a White Ring Reflex Sight. It’s a holographic reflex sight with white rings and Black "T" reticle. This sight in non powered and uses and ambient light source to illuminate the reticle. Needless to say, this sight not very useful in low light situations.

So why get 1 of these Real Steel Ring Sights? Well to be different then all the TM P90’s with their Counter Strike Style red dots.

This is almost a virtual drop in replacement for the TM Red dot sight. You do have to file down a nub on the left side of the FN Sight, but no other mods other then that. You reuse the 2 TM Sight Mounting screws and the new sight is in.

You can find these for sale due to most Real P90 owners are swapping up to the Triple Rail or an easier to use sight system. FN has discontinued shipping P90’s with the White Rings for Black Rings sites, which are supposed to be easier to use.

This is a great add-on, to make your P90 stand out, and it’s nice you can swap out optics relatively easily if needed.
