Re: fn spr action
lots of people are doing the M700 style action build when CDNN blew out all those PBR actions
they make a very sturdy action with many stocks for as well as barrels and gun smiths.
not as many modifications like a remmy but the control feel is nice
CDI also makes a bottom metal to use AICS mags
my only issue with the SPR build is i cannot get an AICS chasis and thats the reason im going to sell my SPR shortly

Re: fn spr action
I'm doing a build for a customer, using one of these, and I have to say that I'm impressed. This action was very square and had almost 100% lug contact when I pulled it down. The CDI bottom metal and DBM requires some maching but otherwise looks to be a great aftermarket accessory.

Re: fn spr action
Love my FN. Mine is factory but I am sure it would be great to build custom off of.
I'm with mtm about an AICS setup. It would be a nice option to have (not that my A5 isn't great). My question is can it dimensionally be done? That is can a chassis be machined and the skins be put on like Roedale has done for the Tikka and Howa. I even seem to remember him pondering the idea.
I would think it could be done. I would think if FN owners got a little vocal and showed there was a market, someone would make us one.
How bout it CDI, Seekins, Roedale... We'll buy it if you make it.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: swede69</div><div class="ubbcode-body">any thoughts on this receiver for a build?</div></div>Here's a thought:
Barreled action from Ken at CDNN: $499
Sell the DBM or bottom metal: -$100
Get CDI bottom metal on sale now: $205
Snag the basic McMillan A3 on the Specials Page: $525
Send it all to be pillar bedded by GAP: $265
Gets you a kick-ass rifle for under $1400.
The actions are stout and heavy, the triggers are good, and I prefer the action itself (not the bolt) for durability over Remington 700's.

I know I am starting to take a liking to them more as aftermarket parts are growing

With all due respect, having had a number of factory FNs as well as customs--you cannot compare a stock PBR barreled action to a a custom based on an FN action. If you have a choice, throw the factory barrel in the trash.
