Model 10 FCP-SR build thread
I create a build thread in other forums for everything else... cars, trucks, motorcycles... so I thought I’d document my progress on my new rifle here.
I purchased a new Model 10 FCP-SR (Savage SKU # 22441) on 2/18/19. I was mainly interested in the following features:
- 24” heavy fluted/threaded barrel
- Accu-trigger
- Accu-stock
- 10-rnd mag
EDIT: I called Savage to get some more info on the rifle. I wanted to know whether it came with a metal trigger guard, and it does. Serial number is K939xxx, and it was manufactured 3/26/2018. Savage CS stated that some of the “newer” FCP-SR rifles came with a 20 MOA scope rail from the factory, but mine has a 0 MOA rail.
The purpose of this firearm is for recreational shooting out to 1000 yards and possibly some hunting, if I can find a rig that’ll allow me to comfortably carry a 12+ lb rifle. I’m looking at FFP optics from Vortex and Athlon. Leupold if I can find a deal, or Sig Tango4/6 if I can find one to try out.
I'm planning to paint this rifle with Aluma-Hyde epoxy, and I wanted a decent factory stock to start with (and not ruin an expensive aftermarket stock).
I found Ross Schuler’s contact info in a thread somewhere and reached out to him for a muzzle brake. I just got off the phone with him, and I’m already wowed by his level of service. He’s offered to time the muzzle brake to my specific rifle by using the threads in the thread protector so I don’t need a crush washer or jam nut; how cool is that? And you can’t beat the price... so the first mod is in the books, even before the rifle has arrived.

Here are a couple of Home Depot parts bags for reference:

The stock is right around 1-1/2” wide. If you add two layers of 0.125” Kydex, that comes to 1-3/4”. These fasteners are for a Karsten-style cheek riser. As a bonus, the heads are 5/32” drive, just like the stock.
EDIT: These bolts are just a bit too long. Rather than returning them, I’ll probably just cut them a little shorter.

I made a quick mock-up template for my cheek riser. I’ll probably tighten up that radius at the back corner. I haven’t measured it for a Kydex sheet yet, but it’s around 8”x8” or less.

I’ll scan it, clean it up, print it, and cut it out on a fresh sheet before transferring it to Kydex. I’ll share the final template here in case anyone wants it. This will go on my stock, mounted with flush hardware under my stock pack. I’m expecting to epoxy some Velcro to the Kydex so that the pack doesn’t slide around.

When I threw all of the screws in a pile, they were all the same length. I checked the holes before reinstalling to see if they went through, and they didn't appear to. I ran into what you're describing on a 10/22 once.
EDIT: I didn’t answer your question; yes, the bolt operates just fine.
