Are the FN SPR enthusiasts extinct?

Yeah, that SPR that just sold is one of the first gens. Supposedly the barrels were made from the same blanks as the M240s...but I have ZERO sources to confirm. I do however have one and it shoots extremely well (M240 blank or not). It is actually the best shooter of my three SPRs.

So, I kinda thought that. Seeing that it had an HS Precision-ish looking stock, I assumed it may have been 1st gen. If that's the case, those were 308s on long actions. Not bad still, although if I can find a short action for that kind of cash I'd jump on it. I want to make a 22gt on an SPR so the barrel being unknown round count or condition wouldn't matter.
 
Just got this manners in for my m70 that I purchased off a hide member. Next up is a new thicker contour barrel and an Arca rail and some glass.
