Description
This is the carbon fiber FFT floor plate from Christensen Arms, built to fit short action Christensen Arms and Remington 700 footprint stocks. If you have been chasing weight savings on a build, the floor plate is one of those small parts that adds up when you are counting every ounce. It swaps in for a standard metal floor plate and drops weight down low, which is exactly where you want it on a rifle you plan to carry a long way.
What the FFT Floor Plate Brings to a Rem 700 Build
The FFT name stands for Flash Forged Technology, which is Christensen's process for compressing and curing aerospace grade carbon fiber under heat and pressure. The result is a part that stays rigid while trimming the excess weight you would carry with traditional metal. On the Ridgeline FFT and Sporter rifles, this same carbon floor plate is part of what helps those guns run up to a full pound lighter than earlier models, so it is proven hardware rather than a novelty piece.
Fit and Finish on the Short Action Carbon Floor Plate
This floor plate is cut for the short action Remington 700 footprint, so it works with genuine Rem 700 pattern stocks and Christensen's own short action FFT stocks. The finished carbon surface has a clean, tasteful look that dresses up the bottom metal without shouting about it. Keep in mind this listing is for the floor plate itself, not the full bottom metal assembly with the aluminum trigger guard and internal box, so it is meant as a replacement or upgrade piece for a setup that already has compatible bottom metal.
Getting the Most Out of It
As with most drop in floor plates, take a minute to confirm your existing bottom metal and hinge match the Rem 700 short action pattern before installing. When it lines up, you get the weight savings and the carbon look in one simple swap. It is a straightforward way to shave grams off a hunting or backcountry rifle where the whole build philosophy is going light.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the FFT floor plate fit my Remington 700 short action?
It is cut for the short action Remington 700 footprint, so it fits genuine Rem 700 pattern stocks and Christensen Arms short action FFT stocks. Before installing, confirm your existing bottom metal and hinge follow the standard Rem 700 short action layout. If your rifle already runs that pattern, this is a direct swap.
Is this the full bottom metal assembly or just the floor plate?
This listing is for the carbon fiber floor plate by itself. It does not include the aluminum bottom metal, trigger guard, or internal magazine box. Think of it as a replacement or upgrade piece for a setup that already has compatible short action bottom metal.
What does Flash Forged Technology actually do for the floor plate?
Flash Forged Technology, or FFT, is Christensen's method of compressing and curing aerospace grade carbon fiber under heat and pressure. That process keeps the part rigid while cutting the weight you would carry with a solid metal floor plate. On a backcountry or hunting rifle where ounces matter, that low, out of the way weight savings adds up.
Why choose a carbon fiber floor plate over the standard metal one?
The main draw is weight, since carbon fiber trims grams off the bottom of the rifle without sacrificing strength. It also gives the bottom metal a clean carbon look that matches the rest of an FFT style build. For anyone focused on going light, it is a simple part that contributes to the bigger goal.
