Is the lug more narrow or positioned differently?
Trying to figure out how they went about this…

 

[Justice1327]

I don't know. Also, don't know if it's a two lug or three lug. My understanding is they can retrofit a pre-existing 2 lug action

One of y'all call Bob and see what's going on

Seems like it is drop in ready for most actions that take prefits…$450
I think I will get one for my classic XM+ and change the mag bolt to a standard bolt.

I was told they are drop in ready. They would prefer your action but wouldn't require it but did want your serial number. About 6 week wait for the bolt and a extra couple weeks for nitride finish.

Yeah, I think I will get one to see if I like it before buying a whole action.

Thanks for posting this.

It will be interesting to see what has been modified, maybe just narrowed up the lugs/action to have the shorter throw. I have one of their CRF/3-position safety actions that would be nice at 75° if it doesn't compromise something else.
