Re: Curtis action
Gents~
We had good intentions to post up pictures of the action this week. We actually chambered a barrel, and spun it on the action the other day. After careful evaluation of how we designed the bolt handle, we decided to change things a bit, thus the reason for not posting up pictures...
Our original design had a boss machined onto the bolt body, with a beefy bolt handle threaded into that boss with 5/16x24 thread. We didn't like the look of that boss on the rear of the bolt body, as it created a void in front of the shroud, and the transition was a bit lacking. We are changing to a conventional strap type handle, with a threaded end to accept different knobs. Although I say "conventional", nothing about this action has proved to be conventional. We will have to make the handle as the bolt body is .750". "We should have those changes accomplished by the end of the week, and will post pictures then.
We have refrained from posting pictures because of the cosmetic changes we've been making in the last few weeks. Please bear with us...
