Where is the most economical place that has an online web site to purchase a commerical action to make up a bolt action rifle. I know Brownells carry a few, but damn, their prices show they are too proud of them to sell them. I am just toying with an idea at the moment. Thanks for any help ... Tom Purdom

One of the better places is to hang around the classifieds here on AR. Or even put an ad in the classifieds stating exactly what you are looking for. You never know what you might find.

Ron Shirk Shooting Supplies still list some Charles Daly 30-06 actions in their latest catalog. Stock number CDGM2206. 717-272-5671. They are wholesale only.

What kind (brand) are you looking for?

Charles daly use to sell FN barrleled actions ect.since then they discontiuned these actions in there line of imports and Zastava copany whom made these is in partnership with Rem arms now,and these bolt actions are now on Rem lists of firearms.I believe the are 798&799. van

I really do not have any one specific action in mind and this project, if it turns into a project, would be a long, long time away. I just wanted to see what might be available out there and then investigate the pros and cons of each. Tom P

I would check out local gunshows and pawnshops for a 50s vintage FN Deluxe or Supreme in the guise of a Sears, Monkey Wards, HVA, H&R, no-name, etc. sporter. You should be able to find one for $250-$350. No better Mauser period.
