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!

Re: Extended mags for FN bolt rifles?
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.

Re: Extended mags for FN bolt rifles?
Is that a replacement part for the original bottom metal or does the stock have to be milled?
Thanks

Re: Extended mags for FN bolt rifles?
The stock must be milled, but CDI does it for a very reasonable price.

Re: Extended mags for FN bolt rifles?
+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.

Re: Extended mags for FN bolt rifles?
Can they just need the stock or do they need the whole rifle?
Thanks

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.

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?
