Mifune326 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 (edited) Wow gotm4! LOVE that SLP. I have a Winchester SX2 Practical I want to do the same thing to. Where did you get your 24" VR barrel, is it a 3" chamber, and will it fit my SX2? Also, is it any lighter than the stock barrel with the cantilever scope mount? Could you explain a little bit more about how it balances better than the stock set-up? Thanks! Edited January 17, 2011 by Mifune326 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mifune326 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I just got a 24" vent rib barrel for my SLP Mk 1, It's a lot better balanced than the 22" cantilever scope mount bbl and it uses Invector Plus choke tubes.

Bryan 45 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 (edited) http://www.3gunnation.com/Products/fn_slp_mk_i_competition1 Looks like the SLP competition is going to be available- sans the VR barrel. I personally think that is a mistake. But, I'm glad to see FN following up the 3GN tidal wave with a new product.

It was the 24" lightweight VR bbl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biga9999 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Any word on pricing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
assaulter Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I found a 26" vent rib barrel at Scottsdale gun club. It's nice. I added a Champion fiber optic as recommended on this site, a plus two Nordic extension and I'm ready to rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biga9999 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Assuming the bolt release and lifter are the same on the competition? Those are two changes I would like to see made at the factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
