Hello , Does anyone know if they are still operating ? I bought some actions from Leo Fix some years ago and was told they would be producing some new actions ,Leo was retired ,I dont know if he sold the operation or whether he is still with us Thanks for any updates RC
Leo Fix did in fact come out with a new model, Model W, in 2016. It is about the same size as the Model J and incorperates a few design "improvements." I bought two of them at that time. I built a 45-70 on one, see photo. The other one will be a 7.62x53R, but I have not started in it. I like these actions, but they do need quite a bit of work to get everthing as it should be. I don't know if they are still available. The price sheet below has Leo's contact information.

It was a custom contour, barrel made by Swan Rifle Barrels in QLD Australia. Made with a fairly long chamber area and big enough for a shoulder and to allow thicker chamber walls. Muzzle was dimensioned to suit the biggest banded front sight we could get from NECG.
