Looking for advice or a known solution, I have read a lot of maybe this or try that and this but nothing concrete.
Thanks for your time.

FN SPR Trigger options

- Start date
I’m no expert, but I am an FN SPR owner. It’s essentially a Winchester M70 action so triggers should be compatible.
My SPR trigger is pretty actually very good. I bought it used so not sure if the first owner adjusted it or that’s how it came from FN.

I’d give my left nut for a quality, field-reliable two-stage for my FN SPR (same for my CZ 457s now that the other guy quit making them). I MUCH prefer two-stage triggers to single stage. For as many M70s and CZ 457s there are, I’m confused as to why Timney (or someone else) hasn’t done them yet, but maybe there isn’t enough deman. Which blows my mind. Because two-stage is superior. 
Without much info, you didn't mention what's wrong with your trigger or what specifically you're looking for, we won't know exactly what to suggest. However, I own 2x SPRs and 2x m70s. All four are rocking a McCarbo trigger spring on the factory trigger. Almost every m70/spr owner will tell you the factory trigger is pretty damn, especially when using this spring. I recommend it.

Thanks for the replies, I never received notifications. I was able to play with the factory trigger and get it down to 16 OZ.
Please do yourself a favor Sir, and drop test that rifle before you put your safety on the line.
You can definitely get the pull weight low on those...but I've found in my (3) SPRs that two of them will drop the firing pin if I drop the cocked rifle (off safe) from 2' off the ground onto concrete when the pull weight gets below 2.5lbs. You don't have to abuse your rifle, but I'd definitely hold it above your knee and let it go onto the recoil pad from that distance. My bet is that you run a >95% chance that your firing pin is going to fall if you managed to get your trigger down to 1lb.
As such, I've taken those two that failed back up to 3lb triggers where they do not fail. The third that passed the drop test is still at 2.25lbs.
Thanks for the concern, yes I did do a drop test on concrete. Just an FYI, I have built roughly 400 competition rifles now with most running in the 8OZ range and my personal PRS rifle at 4 oz. My benchrest is .4 oz. I have also driven without my seat belt on
. All kidding aside I understand the warnings. I grew up around the Remington 700 trigger safety concerns, we don't close the bolt till we are on target.
Yeah I contacted fn and they said to look there. I have the original fn spr and all the parts seem to be discontinued
I wanna say they are weird. If you have the bolt try reaching out to LRI and see if they can save it. If not i hope someone with more knowledge can hope in and help.
I don't have a clue... My recommendation would be LRI. He may even be able to make a new one. I'm sure it wouldn't be cheap though.
@Action Guy
Would be the first person I would try to reach out to.
Super knowledgeable and always helpful.

I think maybe this is who I meant and got confused and tagged the wrong person. Action guy is the user who's posted lots of useful info on the spr thread no?
Correct.
He is very knowledgeable on Winchester M70’s and FN SPR’s
And he’s in the Great state of Missouri

All,
Apologies for the delayed response and calls for an answer on the bolt question. I have been unable to log into my SH account for a while now.
Anyway, I was able to provide 4clicksoff a Winchester part number that should work, and MGW shows it in inventory. He should be squared away now.
