Mauser-style Action

 3/4 view with cantilevered scope rail. The aluminum bedding block/bottom metal is also visible.

 Close-up of the non-rotating extractor.

 Rear view showing the 2-position safety (seen in the "fire" position).

Wider view showing the angular underside. This profile was modeled off the AICS, so this action should fit that stock. The only possible change is to widen the action screw holes (action screws are 5/32").


This is my idea for a Mauser-style bolt action. The external styling is somewhat similar to the M1917 Enfield. My action retains the external, non-rotating extractor from the Mauser. The blade ejector has been moved to 45 degrees down, so as not to cut the left locking lug in half.

The Work Side of Things

These are renderings of work I did for a customer in the UK. The copyright notices on the photos were added at his request. He was my launch customer and the person for whom I do most of my work.

Hexagonal Action - Part 2

Here's the hexagonal action as I have it now. The model was created in Autodesk Inventor and rendered in Autodesk Showcase. The rail is NATO Standard profile with a 20 MOA slope. It is held by 4 8-32 UNF screws.  Bolt throw is 60 degrees. Any comments and/or suggestions welcome. The chassis is still in the works. It follows a similar design theme.

Hexagonal Action

I've seen a number of different bolt action receiver profiles: round, hexagonal, octagonal, polygonal, and many more. Most of the actions I've done are round or octagonal, so I decided try something different (at least for me). Like the octagonal receivers, hexagonal receivers are (or would at least appear to be) self-centering, much like the V-block which is often used for bedding round actions. I'll post photos soon. The action will be part of a rifle with a similar shape. Any questions or suggestions are welcome.

Construction Continues

I'm still working on the page. I will be uploading more renderings of my work in the near future.

Here is a modified Remington 700 Short Action I completed for a customer in Thailand.

First Post

This is my first post and mainly for testing purposes. This image shows my own concept design. I haven't had a chance to produce anything, but I hope to do so in the future.
