Yes both the FN and Win M70 require machining.
It’s very minimal and can be easily accomplished on a manual mill.

I had mine threaded 5/8 24Hey Guys
Just managed to buy a unused 24" SPR A5, so happy to get another chance with this rifle after regretfully selling mine a few years ago.
Its a 24" barrel, does anyone have to diameter of the muzzle on hand so i can order a brake for when it arrives?
Thanks
ThanksI had mine threaded 5/8 24
Thanks
I was looking for the barrel diameter just after the threads please
Thanks
I have a cdi on mine in a manners stock and I’m about 99% positive there is no machining done to my action. I lived fairly close to Jeff when he had his shop so I went there and he inletted my manners while I waited but I do not believe the action was touched. I could pull it out of the stock and look if needed.Doesn’t the FN receiver need to be machined to utilize CDI bottom metal?
Thanks palAn SPR muzzle diameter will be .924" on a 24" barrel.
He did mine and did the mod on the action for free. I remember everyone saying it's a very minor machining operation but don't remember the details.I have a cdi on mine in a manners stock and I’m about 99% positive there is no machining done to my action.

So I am considering selling my fn SPR a1, what is a reasonable asking price for these rifles now a days? Rifle has relatively low round count.
Just curious on a selling price.

My phone is being stupid, trying to get one up.Pics would help determine value
I know you were joking.I was being a smart ass, but they’re hard to price. Best bet is to look at recent completed sales on Gunbroker or here.
To build a similar rifle today you’d be looking at:
Stock: $700
Action: $1,000
Bottom metal: $400
Quality barrel with chambering: $800
$2,900 to build a similar quality rifle today.
However, it’s an old rifle that sold on sale for $1,000. Older people know that and price based off of that. New shooters don’t see the value, are scared of CRF barrel installation costs, and it’s not a gay aluminum chassis with quick change barrel system.
Realistic price with everything you have is $1,200-$1,500.
ETA: Who did the muzzle brake? I usually deduct from my offers for aftermarket work unless it was done by a very big name shop.
IMO they are still one of the best rifles at any price.I know you were joking.
Being an older rifle I figure they are still a damn good one.

It has a different rake on it and a pic rail installed.
