ok where can a person buy the actions to make a custom rifle and what actions you prefer
i'm currently waiting for my first action i ordered with mrc
mrc has the action section of the company currently is for sale as owner only wants to build barrels
so what are the other options we have as far as building new customs?

you can buy cz550, dakota 76 and remington 700 actions at brownells.

nothing says "Custom" like a genuine Mauser or P64 Model 70...except a buffalo/elephant rifle on an Enfield/M30-series.

for what purpose? off the top of my head and in no particular order: hall, bat, stiller, borden , neisaka, surgeon, kelby's, i'm sure there are more but i can't think of them now.

The best deal I've seen lately is at Numrich. They have new Mauser long box actions with release floorplate and beautiful swept bolt handle + satin blue with double set triggers for $299 + shipping. These are Zastava actions imported by KBI. Add up the action, bolt, triggers and floorplate and see what you come up with! Regards, Rick.

You don't need to buy a bare action. Few makers sell them. Just buy a used gun with the action you like. A used Ruger or Remington is often half of the price of a new one and you can sell the old barrel and stock for a little on Ebay. I tear apart pre-64 Win 70's all the time. Never mint guns, those are too valuable to collectors. I think Pre-64 model 70's are the best bargan in actions. One third the cost of a Dakota. My preference is Remington 30-S.

one of my situations is i'm lefthanded shooter and prefer to make lh gun rather then use the donor in rh thanx for help

Is this true? MRC is only going to sell barrels in the future and no longer manufacture actions?

yes that is what john told me over @ mrc the action part of business is for sale as the owner wants to retire and only make barrels.
they are still taking orders for actions but you don't pay until ready to be shipped

these are dalys, which means pushbutton (kbi=daly) floorplates and slide safeties.

the DEAL we all missed was the legacy mauser

Now I don't feel bad about buying one from legacy. I have been leaning towards the 7x64 with it. or ???

Does anybody have any left handed Mauser actions they'd be willing to put TBEAR and I onto?
I saw a commercial action available on Gunbroker, but I procrastinated and it was gone.
