Are the FN SPR enthusiasts extinct?

Might get lucky, looks like they are in stock.
 
update for you guys. I contacted badger ordinance and they had rails that they were about to put back on the website for sale so I ordered one. Part #306-06SPR. Got it in the mail today and it works perfectly. I think it is safe to say the both the factory rail and the ops2 I bought to replace the factory rail are bad. May give ops2 a call and see if they will do about it.

Something else I thought I would pass on is the guys at badger said the spr rail has been permanently discontinued. After the batch that they have in stock now sells out they will NOT be making anymore. So if you want/need one might be a good idea to get one while you can. Thanks guys. I really appreciate all the help.
 
Does anyone have diagram showing the FN-H SPR / Win short action mod for CDI bottom w/ AICS magazines??
My A3-G was converted to CDI bottom metal before I bought it.

I found another CDI short action bottom metal and want to have another action set up. I thought I had a diagram but of course I can't find it now.

Thanks !

PDF attached and some pics saved over the years.

Is this bottom metal something that you would want to share temporarily for us to find another person to replicate them?

Round count? Was it threaded at the factory, or was it threaded aftermarket?

I’ve been wanting an FN SPR for a very long time. But mine is a very typical stor.y. When I had the funds available there wasn’t an SPR and when there was an SPR available cash wasn’t. Two weeks ago I was visiting a son who lives in Eastern WA. While he was busy I visited a few LGS. I found and bought my first FN SPR #FG105XX. It came with a Springfield Armory 2nd Gen 4X14.. I put a different scope on it and went to the range with about 7 different hand loads. The range only has 100yds but I’m extremely happy with the rifle at this point. This was 168SMK RL-15 43.0 Win.case and Fed.210.
 
By chance does anyone know where I can find 10 round tbm mags? I’ve seen 5 round mags around but 10 round mag have been none existent.

Grab the 5rnd mags now while you can, too. The 10rnd mags are gone, you’ll have to find someone willing to part with some used ones.

I should grab a few more 5 rounders myself, actually.

Guys, I’ve found a donor that’s willing to send out his CDI bottom metal for reproduction.

Anyone have a machine shop that can make duplicates?

Or some decent measuring equipment to at least draw up the bottom metal?
Did there happen to ever be any follow-up re: your initiative here?
I'm pretty eagerly searching for some CDI Bottom Metal for my A3G

I don't mean to put words in his mouth, but I think Sam is trying to limit involvement in extremely niche firearms markets these days. Demand for this was pretty low even when FN was making SPR's, but now it has to be almost nonexistent... Unfortunately.
 
I don't know how similar these 2 rifles would be, but Chad has previously expressed at least some interest in something similar, so he might be your guy.

 
Stupid question of the day: I might be looking in the wrong place, but what are you guys using for replacement firing pin springs? MGW is selling what looks like *to me* a direct replacement (5.39") Model 70 spring... but if one of you knows the part number or source for a replacement I'd be grateful.
 
As a heads up for anyone interested, due to a change in my life circumstances I’m selling my SPR A1:
Thanks and glad to see these still have an active following here.
 
What was failing?

Just the spring in the mag...nothing serious. Last round started coming out with the nose up, similar to guys trying to run a 6BR in a mag without a block. CRF regardless...I was jamming the nose into the 12 o'clock on the chamber and the round wouldn't feed.

Thinking it was because I was running a 6.5x47 with a ln OAL of ~2.700, I swapped the mag into my old SPR still running .308 at around ~2.810" (and 1.850 vs. 2.005 case length)...and it happened again on the first mag.

Cleaned the crap out of it, and it did it again.

No issues otherwise...just the last round on the old mag.

Just picked this PBR up, locally. Controlled push feed, DBM.
Was just going to put an older Leupold MK AR on it and leave it be. The Leupold is a tight fit on the 2pc rail, so..this Blackhawk/Weaver 3-10x was mounted.
Ran out of UP elevation zeroing at 100y
Not sure whats going on there.

Found a Winchester marked HS Precision stock on ebay for $150...just need to get it inlet for the DBM bottom metal.
