The Faxon FX7 Midnight Bronze Bolt Action Receiver brings a new finish treatment to Faxon’s modern short action platform without changing the proven mechanical foundation that has made the FX7 a standout for precision rifle builders. This limited-edition configuration pairs a Midnight Bronze Cerakote® receiver body with the FX7’s signature polished DLC bolt assembly for a look that is distinctive, refined, and purpose-built for a premium custom rifle build.

At its core, the FX7 is engineered to give builders a more modern bolt action experience while staying within the highly supported Remington® 700 short action ecosystem. The action features an integrated 20-MOA Picatinny rail, an integrated recoil lug, and a 70-degree bolt lift that helps maintain generous optic clearance while enabling fast bolt manipulation. The bolt itself uses a 6-lug configuration arranged in 2 rows of 3, combining strong lockup with smooth operation.

The receiver body is machined from 416 stainless steel, while the bolt is made from 4340 carbon steel and finished in polished DLC for enhanced wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and slick cycling feel. The bolt body also features Faxon’s original Flame Fluting® as a visual nod to the company’s barrel heritage. Supporting components include an M16 style extractor, plunger style ejector, and a straight interchangeable bolt handle.

This action is built for shooters who want a premium foundation for a precision hunting rifle, range rifle, or modern crossover bolt gun. It is also designed to work with Faxon FX7 Prefit barrels and similar systems, helping streamline the path from action to finished rifle.

Best for: custom precision rifle builds, hunting rifles, and shooters who want a modern action with strong aftermarket compatibility.
Not for: buyers looking for a complete rifle or those assuming every stock will be fully drop-in without verifying clearance around the trigger hanger.
