Highroaders,
As I have mentioned before on this forum, I am friends with Gunsmith/Entrepreneur who has been exploring a variety of ideas as far as introducing a new line of bolt action rifles, with my help on the business and web side (as he is older and that is not his thing) I am proud to announce he will soon launch his business. I cannot give out his full name per his request, but we will call him George C. Anyway, his new line of rifles will produced in small batches by a shop of 25 machinists, armorers, and gunsmiths. Instead of buying competitors' actions or designing and brand new action, he has opted to reintroduce "classic" actions from the last two centuries. The actions being used are newly produced, (highest quality) investment cast M1917 Enfield and Krag-Jorgenson actions. They will be used not for replicas of the original guns, but as the basis for modern style hunting rifles. He has asked me to test the waters, and ask what people think of what he will soon be producing. Below I will list the models that will be available from day one:
M1917 action:
Calibers: 30-06, .25-06, .308*
Barrels: Heavy (24", 20"), Sporter (20" 18" 16.5"), Fluted (24", 20", 18")
Finishes: Classic Blued, Full Stainless, Duotone (Stainless bolt and barrel, blued receiver)
Stocks: Choice of Laminate, Walnut, or Synthetic in European, American, or thumbhole styles.
Trigger: 3.5 pound match grade
Sights: Ghost ring rear with hooded post front, fiber optic.
Extras: Factory installed scout rail (+$75)
Price: $950-$1500
Krag-Jorgenson action:
Calibers: .308 Winchester
Barrels: Heavy (20"), Sporter (20" 18" 16.5"), Fluted (20", 18")
Finishes: Classic Blued, Full Stainless, Duotone (Stainless bolt and barrel, blued receiver)
Stocks: Choice of Laminate, Walnut, or Synthetic in American or thumbhole.
