Kyreb Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 (edited) I dropped the FN SLP off with Briley this morning. I am getting an action job, loading port opened, lifter modified to take off sharp forks and edges, forcing cone opened up and some high speed aftermarket parts installed, ( Nordic bolt handle, changing red to green on FO front sight, Nordic oversize bolt release button) Work will take about 4 weeks. Did not go for their full blown 3 gun package but got most of it. Should be GTG for our 3 gun match in August.

Michael64 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 What does having the forcing cone opened up do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyreb Posted June 24, 2011 Author Share Posted June 24, 2011 What does having the forcing cone opened up do? This has been a popular mod with skeet shooters for many years. They lengthen the forcing cone from ~ 1/2" out to ~ 1 3/4". Theory is that the gentler angle deforms the shot far less and results in more uniform patterns.

victortango Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I was thinking of doing the same thing. Mind if I ask you how much the work cost? Any reason that you chose the Nordic bolt handle over the Briley bolt handle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyreb Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 (edited) I already had a couple Nordic parts purchased. I dropped them off with the gun. Here is a link to their "Signature" three gun package. My SLP only required about half of those listed. http://www.briley.com/gunservices/3guntactical.html Edited June 27, 2011 by Kyreb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newguy2k3 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Bringing this one back. I just bought a SLP and at the very least need the lifter welded but I'd like to see how they did on opening the loading port also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyreb Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 (edited) Well, I got it back from Briley about two weeks ago. Work looks nice and clean....trigger and action smoothed out well. However, I started practicing some loading drills with dummy rounds and noticed I was getting some jams on a frequent basis. I was getting two different failure to feeds on a consistent basis. The first seems to have the shell contacting the front edge of the chamber. I noticed this edge is much more pronounced than on my 1100. The second jam has the shell entering the chamber about 3/4 way and then getting hung up on the lifter. On my first range trip with live ammo the same jams occured evety 4-5 rounds. I was shooting Remington full house slugs and AA 1 1/8 oz "silver bullet" rounds. The shotgun is now back at Briley. I want the chamber mouth chamfered to address the first situation. I have no idea what is up with the lifter. Edited October 10, 2011 by Kyreb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I dropped the FN SLP off with Briley this morning. Work will take about 4 weeks. Did I add improperly, or did this work take approx 14 weeks, instead of 4 weeks??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
