  Upon Layup titanium pillars are cast into the stock this means location of the pillars is exceptional.   Being engineered as total component system the fit is perfect, it is not a retrofit, the stock and barreled action are engineered for each other far ahead of time to go together simply, quickly and accurately. The Fully integral Krieger barrel is dialed to .0001 then threaded and chambered in one setup, this technique is nothing new, but does produce rifles that shoot good groups.  After the barrel is threaded I smoke internal c-ring breeching ring of the Satterlee M-98 Stainless receiver.  The perfect soot transfer to the barrel confirms lets me know all is well and contact between the barrel and receiver are perfect.  The rifle is then assembled and range tested for accuracy. This rifle is a Stainless rifle, barrel, receiver, rings, barrel, bottom metal, the bolt is fully integral handle one piece of steel,  Here's a commercial loading that slides in just under 1/2 MOA, not surprising really, as the rifle has been properly built.  And the studio photo.  I call this rifle the Satterlee Professional Rifle. Stainless DSB Satterlee gen III action Krieger BBl. cut integral by Sunny Hill, Satterlee Gen III British express fiberglass, Kevlar, carbon, titanium pillar bedded stock. Thanks for looking in.

The wood and aluminum dummy barreled action become the inside of a mold. the mold is a two piece fiberglass mold and is split length wise and it's created the same way. After the cavity is created the Shell material goes in then the Aluminum dummy barreled action goes in, then the mold halves are brought together held by 3/8 bolts that go thru both halves of the mold an expanding foam is poured in as liquid from the back of the assembled mold, the spru hole is capped off and clamped, and the liquid turns to solid it produces 80 PSI, this presses the fiberglass shell material to the inside of the mold forming the shape of the original pattern stock. In this case my Satterlee Arms British Express stock and instantly inletted with titanium pillars for my 375 action with a drop box. | |||

I'm not sure I get it either. Are you casting the bedding compound into a wooden stock as shown in the top picture using an aluminum dummy for the mold? "Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading". | |||

There are very few people in the world that does what he does. He builds everything! He is a gunmaker, unlike other people that abuse that title in America. | |||

you are killing me with the workmanship. Just because I can't afford one, does NOT mean I cannot appreciate the quality materials and workmanship in one. Bravo!! | |||

His photos always remind me of the old Tucson gunsmith from the 60's-80's that built scratch built custom mausers. His name escapes me. I remember photos of him old and shirtless standing over a lathe free handing it to get his desired effect. | |||

Fred Wells? I saw him at an ACGG show about 15 years ago. I believe he was 80+ years old.

Myself as a customer who has payed Satterlee in good faith for a new action in 2009 has not received it, this despite him indicating 6 months completion.....When it all gets too hard he just ignores his customers. SAtterlee has screwed a lot of people around on AR, his track record is atrocious. but again we he see him trying to impress people with his shop photos, same old deceptive trick of his. Be VERY cautious and give careful consideration before handing over 000s of dollars to a dishonest business. +++ Further to his poor business practices, Satterlee gave out my private details to AR member strangers without my permission. which is a serious breach of AR forum rules. and a serious breach of customer confidentiality. | |||

Trax, You had full knowledge of Satterlee's dishonesty when you placed an order and put down your deposit in 2009. It's difficult for me to muster any sympathy for you since you chose to ignore the well-documented rip offs of so many of Satterlee's would-be customers. Hopefully, you've received a few Bible quotes from Satterlee or his wife Jacqi to make their lies more palatable. Don't now try to claim you're a victim when you willingly chose to be just one more of Satterlee's chumps. ______________________________ "Truth is the daughter of time." Francis Bacon | |||

It looks like Stuart is building a great rifle and I wish I had the wherewithal to own one. If I did I'd call him up to see if what I wanted was in inventory and if so I'd go pick it up. I don't have the answer. But clearly, dragging it out here on AR hasn't brought the matter to a positive resolution! | |||

My story is a little different. I sent money to him for a new receiver,Mauser clone, and received it within two weeks of mailing a check. That was my only experience. If other people contracted with him for a build and kept their money, I would call it theft. | |||

Just love the internet as there is so much information out there. It pays to do your homework, check references and actually talk to someone(s) before laying out your $$$. Fancy pictures are just that - Hein was another master at that. | |||

He helped me out of a jam once with a bolt handle. Dressels was about to stock a rifle for me and it needed to be done quick. I rushed it to Stuart and he rushed it to Paul. I was/am grateful for the help he provided on that project. Terry -------------------------------------------- Well, other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play? | |||

Thanks TC, I needed that. I like the way an all stainless DSB composite stocked Satterlee Mauser looks in the snow. What the hell it's stainless and composite not like you can hurt it, it's built for that kind of treatment.  | |||

It is nice to see top gunmakers like Echols, Borden, Smithson and now Satterlee are recognizing that all weather functionality is one of the primary requirement of a hunting rifle. And Stuart, if you over expose photos taken in the snow the snow stays white but the darker subject shows up better. And that is a great looking rifle by the way.

I should have pics of my Satterlee action in a roughed out stock in a week or so--that is what Ralf Martini told me. | |||

The answer is simple. Refund the money, with interest and an apology. | |||

Stuart's working on my titanium 9.5x57 MS (.375 Rimless Nitro Express x 2 1/4 in my preferred parlance) that will be my new lightweight coastal bear guiding gun. I've had the other side of the experience where he and Jackie have been forthright, answer calls and emails, and send progress pictures. By no means saying anyone is wrong, all I can relate is my experience thus far, and I'm pleased. Beautiful work Stuart, my barrel blank and reamer should be there any day. -Angus | |||

This is very interesting. We have an arrogant con man who can't deliver actions promoting complete rifles and many are supporting him??? Shoemaker- What did Echols and Smithson ever do to you that you would insult them by putting them in the same category as Satterlee? | |||
