Uses a locally manufactured trigger & easy to source firing pin assembly.



Uses standard US threads for ease of manufacture & interchangeability of common parts.



Still working the shear strength of the bolt lugs, tuning the primary extraction for maximum performance & on a suitable sustainable solution for the stock.

If all else fails it will make a nice fire

Branching out and building something your self, going against the grain?. Wood it work? I think knott.

Gold.

Can't wait to see it with barrel installed, i assume you will have a lightweight "balsa" option which is fluted for maximum weight loss

I dont think that stick on serial number is legal!

Go on build an ar lower out of wood!

Guess yours looks more functional then mine. .

The back of the bolt looks odd. Are you going to change that at all or is a dual purpose bolt?

Good selling point I reckon. "Buy the abe action today, serves both you and your wife"

3 lug bolt head Abe? how doses primary extraction work?

@kiwigreg, you should import some bubinga or purpleheart - probably be easier machining steel

So more getting to the root of the issue than barking up the wrong tree

Ones I have seen are round?
I thought he made it?

what's wrong with the Hardy engineering actions? Haven't seen one in the flesh but the pics online look good .

So what's the go with that beast Abe?

Faaark. Home made actions....? Maybe check out the firearms safety section in a few months time. Or the next issue of NZ Guns for more public safety notices from Blaser.... Just saying.... big liability in making actions if things go wrong. Ask Brian Harre all about it....
