Hey guys, Just wondering if a piece of 1909 bottommetal would fit on a FN action? Thanks ddj The best part of hunting and fishing was the thinking about going and the talking about it after you got back - Robert Ruark | ||

The box will be shorter than the opening in the action if the action is 30-06 length(I think). You could open it up with a file. Jason Jason "You're not hard-core, unless you live hard-core." _______________________ Hunting in Africa is an adventure. The number of variables involved preclude the possibility of a perfect hunt. Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt. Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure. -Jason Brown | |||

This is true. The 1909 magazzine is both shorter and located slightly to the rear of where an FN magzine is situated. Thus, the front of the Argie box falls short of the FN feedramp. A file won't help.  Aut vincere aut mori | |||

Thanks Mike, You are right. I just checked and a 1909 floorplate won't fit. What other options are out there? ddj The best part of hunting and fishing was the thinking about going and the talking about it after you got back - Robert Ruark | |||

Try and lengthen the box in the front. Jim Kobe 10841 Oxborough Ave So Bloomington MN 55437 952.884.6031 Professional member American Custom Gunmakers Guild | |||
