Extended mags for FN bolt rifles?

[Jason280]

I tried searching, but didn't get too far. I just picked up an FN PBR XP in McMillan, stock, and I am curious if there are extended mags available for the factory detach system. It came with 2x four round mags, and I would like to pick up something with a little more capacity. Thanks!

My friend has a rifle like yours, believe his 10 shot mag. came from Accuracy Int'l.......

I recommend buying some different bottom metal such as CDI's

Then you can use AICS mags that come in 5 round and 10 round variations.

Is that a replacement part for the original bottom metal or does the stock have to be milled?

Thanks

The stock must be milled, but CDI does it for a very reasonable price.

+1 for CDI. I have one of his bottom metals going on my SPR action. He'll inlet the stock and install it for you. I think its $40 for the installation IIRC.

Can they just need the stock or do they need the whole rifle?

Thanks

Both the stock and the receiver need to be modified to run AICS mags in the Win 70/FN SPR.

Oh, that different than just the stock. Thank you for the information.

Re: Extended mags for FN bolt rifles?

Why and what needs to be modified on the reciever to run the CDI bottom metal? if he made the bottom metal to run with the FN SPR, then why does he need to the reciever to match his bottom metal too it?

only thing that should be is the different size of bottom metal area that should come out of a stock... I.E. if i want to do this, then I either need to tell McMillan to inlet it for me or send the stock to CDI once i recieve it.

I had a friend of mine mill mine and it functions flawlessly . HEres a crappy cell phone pic of what needs to be done to the frt of the fn reciever for cdi bottom metal

Alpha Industries make mag's for the FN/CDI combo. My friend Beau runs them and they work really well.

Re: Extended mags for FN bolt rifles?

do the alpha mags need to mill on the reciever like the AI mags need?
