Description
This is the same bottom metal setup Christensen Arms uses on their FFT rifle line, and it brings that weight-conscious approach to your own project gun. The bottom metal and trigger guard are machined from 6061 aircraft grade aluminum with a Type III hard anodized finish, while the floorplate itself is made from carbon fiber using Christensen's Flash Forged Technology. That carbon fiber floorplate is where the weight savings come from, and it gives the underside of the rifle a distinct look that stands out from plain steel or aluminum.
Where the FFT Bottom Metal Fits
This short action assembly is built for the Remington 700 footprint, so it works with short action Christensen Arms stocks and any Rem 700 pattern stock that shares those inlet dimensions. It runs an internal hinged magazine, which keeps things simple and traditional for a hunting or precision build. As with most bottom metal swaps, some fitting to your specific stock and receiver may be needed to get everything seated cleanly.
Why Builders Reach for the Carbon Fiber Floorplate
If you're chasing a lightweight rifle, the details add up. Christensen built their reputation on carbon fiber, and this floorplate carries that same thinking to a part most people overlook. The Type III anodizing on the aluminum bottom metal holds up to field use, and the carbon fiber weave under the action ties the whole build together if you're running a carbon barrel or FFT stock already.
What You're Getting With This Assembly
This is the floorplate assembly version, meaning it centers on the bottom metal, carbon fiber floorplate, and the hardware to mount it. It's a straightforward way to finish a barreled action or refresh a tired factory setup without going the detachable magazine route. For backcountry hunters counting every ounce, it's one more smart place to trim weight without giving up the classic hinged floorplate feel.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this FFT bottom metal fit my Remington 700?
Yes, it's built for the Remington 700 short action footprint, so it fits short action Christensen Arms stocks and any Rem 700 pattern stock with matching inlet dimensions. Keep in mind that bottom metal swaps often call for a little fitting to your specific receiver and stock to seat everything cleanly. Double check that your stock is cut for a short action before ordering.
What makes the carbon fiber floorplate different from a standard metal one?
The floorplate is made with Christensen's Flash Forged Technology, the same carbon fiber process they use across their FFT rifle line. It cuts weight compared to a steel or solid aluminum floorplate and gives the underside of your rifle a carbon fiber look. Paired with a carbon barrel or FFT stock, it ties the whole build together.
Does this assembly use a detachable magazine or an internal one?
This setup runs a traditional internal magazine with a hinged floorplate rather than a detachable box magazine. It keeps the classic sporter feel that a lot of hunters prefer and is a simple, reliable way to finish a build. If you want AICS style detachable mags, you'd want to look at a different bottom metal option.
Is this a good pick for a lightweight hunting rifle build?
It is. Trimming weight on a backcountry rifle comes down to picking up ounces in a lot of small places, and the carbon fiber floorplate does exactly that at a spot most people overlook. The aluminum bottom metal wears a durable Type III anodized finish that holds up well to field use.
