    anyone else have the 1st gen fn spr?

    Re: anyone else have the 1st gen fn spr? 1st Generation SPRs are few and far between. Probably not more than 700 made. Made only a few years, back in the late 1990s. Serial numbers start with "FG", they featured an HS Precision stock, .308 Winchester, 4 round DBM magazine, aluminum bottom...

    Barrels with Chrome Lined bores question ....

    Re: Barrels with Chrome Lined bores question .... Break in for a chromelined barrel is unnecessary. Do it if you like. It won't do harm, just wasting time and ammo. I'd do an initial cleaning of the bore to get factory lube out and any other debry that may have gotten in when shipped. Then...

    FNAR 7.62x51mm Opinions

    Re: FNAR 7.62x51mm Opinions I can't argue the looks. But it has a heavier chrome-lined barrel, high capacity magazine, M-1913 rail for scope mounting. Not meant to be a BAR. Graceful, no. Reliable, hell yes.

    Photos my 1951 Deep Red Russian SKS Minty

    Re: my 1951 Deep Red Russian SKS Minty Very nice. I have almost the exact same rifle in my safe. Tula 1951. Surprisingly well put together, good fit and finish, very good quality. I think I paid $210 for it at the 1994 Las Vegas Gun Show.

    First Precision Rifle-FN SPR

    Re: First Precision Rifle-FN SPR Factory torque values are 65 in/lbs front and rear. I have experimented with different values and not found any appreciable difference, except when I got down to 45 in/lbs. My experience has been that they open up a little the lighter you go with the standard...

    First Precision Rifle-FN SPR

    Re: First Precision Rifle-FN SPR Turbo, I don't see where bedding this area back in would do any harm. Anyone with bedding experience should be able to do it fairly easily. Pillar would make it slightly more complicated, but not by much. With CDI's magazine assembly, I'm not sure of the...

    First Precision Rifle-FN SPR

    Re: First Precision Rifle-FN SPR The extra material is removed from the stock in the DBM (and by extention, the TBM) to allow for the magazine assist spring and latching mechanism. In the TBM it is not needed because the latch is in the rear, but since the inlets are the same other wise, it...

    Rifle Scopes So what happened to Leupold scopes?

    Re: So what happened to Leupold scopes? Rip Van Leupold.... I love it. Kind of agree. I think they saw the LE market as sewn up and may still have that market pretty much in hand. Recently, there has been some movement to keep up with the military and now civilian markets, and that is...

    Is it worth it?

    Re: Is it worth it? .280 AI. Should fit right in the action and on the bolt face. And I'd give the Weatherby action a go. This question, of a long range tactical Weatherby, is asked rather requently on here. We could us an expert who has done it. I would do it, too, if I had only a...

    FN-SPR Issues

    Re: FN-SPR Issues All, To lay to rest some speculation: The misspelled role mark "Fredricksburg" is on all USRAC barrels after about 2004. Prior to that (2001-2004), they were role marked "Made by USRAC, New Haven, CT". When the plant closed in 2006, the role mark tool was supposed to go...

    FN TSR USA .223

    Re: FN TSR USA .223 The samples I have shot prefer the heavier bullets. I have shot as light as 45gr and as heavy as 77gr. Accuracy always increases as I went up in grain weight. The best groups I have gotten out of a TSR-XP USA is with Federal GMM 77gr, near 1/2 MOA. It also likes the 69...

    M85 and/or M86 info needed

    Re: M85 and/or M86 info needed I own(ed) a G. McMillan M-86 based on their "Signature" action. G. McMillan became Harris/McMillan Gunworks, and then became just Harris Gunworks, then they went out of business. The M-86 I bought was in what they called a "McHale" fiberglass stock. The...

    Has FN discontinued the SPR A2?

    Re: Has FN discontinued the SPR A2? Yes, FNH USA has discontinued the SPR-A2. This occurred a few years ago after FN closed the USRAC plant and moved production to the FN Manufacturing plant in Columbia, SC. The SPR-A2 had the McMillan A4 Adjustable stock in black. It was eclipsed in sales...
