[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1751171, member: 27307"] None of us 'assume' this as it's ridiculous to think that we all make our own actions inhouse. I've made both actions and barrels in shops set up specifically for those products and I can assure you that I don't have the money or desire to make either of those products in my shops. The manufacturers who specialize in those products can make money by being niche oriented. Most action makers offer 'Private Labeling' for shops that want their name on a product. There are other shops which will design and build an action to your specifications, i.e. GAP Tempest. The Mack Bros. helped design it and manufacturer it for GAP. Then too, Defiance private labels their Rebel and Deviant as the Templar and Templar VII for GAP. Other riflesmiths have Stiller label for them and so on to include any of the makers who will private label. The process is not just laser engraving your logo and name on the action. The ATF gets involved and must approve of the labeling (size, shape and placement) and the production numbers (serial) so they can track those numbers through their software. :rolleyes:The riflesmiths pay for this privilege, usually about $1,500 unless the volume of their order offsets that fee, then it gets waived. :) Besides, it's fairly easy to see who is private labeling for which gunsmiths, the actions are a giveaway. The gunsmiths I know and work with do not try to keep it a secret but they don't broadcast it either although some do.;) Enjoy your Sunday!:D [/QUOTE]
