Mr. Williams



In another post you stated that you did not post any photos of your prototype actions becasue you did not want to get the general public stirred up.



PLEASE, STIR US UP!!!!!!



If you are going to be coming out with an action in the near future, many of us would like to at least see something so that we could start to form some sort of an intelligent decision on whether to wait for your action or instead participate in the Montana Rifle Company program.



The huge differences of course being:

1. Yours will be machined and theirs is cast

2. you claim yours will be of a quality whereby a smith won't have to do any truing or tinkering, whereas others have stated that their Smiths have had to do some work to get the Montana actions ready to go.

3. One can subscribe now and get a Montana for $525 and yours is going to cost a thousand bucks.



PLEASE, SHOW US A PHOTO.

Hey blue,
here's some 3-D images of what we're working on right now, which is the short-action to begin with, but haven't made the modifications to these prints to reflect the M70 inletting design.
I've got quite a workload ahead of me until at least June of this year, so she's gonna get put on hold until then..Once I'm ought of my current fires, all my attention will be towards getting this line of actions off the ground. The manufacturing of our extractors was perhaps the biggest hurdle of them all, and it's going like clockwork.

Would the bolt have that third lug?
I'm trying to find that old thread about the actions.

No, we'll just be keeping the dual-opposing lugs, ala-mauser, but with a few improvements for alignment in the front and the rear.

The extractor will be almost a dead ringer for the Model 70, but the ejector and bolt release will be very similar to the Mauser 98.

The ejector and bolt stop will work nearly identical to the Mauser 98, except for the flat spring system that Paul Mauser used. We'll be using a stainless, laser cut ejector and a stainless coil spring in it's place. The outside of the bolt release will look very similiar to the 98, it'll just work smoother.

Something I know you have considered, if you keep the footprint the exact same as a m70 or 98 it sure makes stocking easier.

Sorry I skipped over this question earlier.....It will be the M70-style breaching system.
My father and I have been threatening to build a reciprocating broach for building a true 98 style system, but that will be a ways down the road I'm afraid.
Many of the big bore smiths have noted that the m70 breach lends itself better to reliable feeding when working with the big heavy bullets, and what I've seen myself, I'd have to agree. Obviously, not everyone is shooting elephant killers, but then again, a lot of the same rules apply in the small calibers as well.
