[QUOTE="Grandslammer, post: 1628837, member: 107084"] Be aware that Lone Peak recently made a significant design change to their bolts (without telling most customers) and are now using two piece bolts instead of the one piece solid steel pictured and described on their website. I found this out only after purchasing one of their actions and waiting months to get it. They did not disclose this in advance and when it arrived I was not expecting to find a two piece bolt with a threaded ALUMINUM bolt handle that screws onto a threaded stud on the bolt and looks completely different (because it is) than the very clear photos on their website. I called and suggested that they immediately remove the misleading photos and written descriptions from their website. They did not. Instead, they agreed but have not removed the misleading info on their website. Obviously, the two-piece design will save them on manufacturing costs so I understand why they're doing it. However, they have not had a price reduction so it does not appear that even a small portion of the cost cutting is going to be passed onto the customer. Don't get me wrong, I want to be a fan. But that is tough to do if they cheapen their bolt without telling folks, and keep false and misleading info on their website even AFTER they've been notified that it is there...and is misleading folks. There are other good actions that use this same design of bolt so perhaps it will not be a big deal...but LP should get out front of this, own it, explain it, and absolutely tell ALL customers in advance so there are no surprises. In this price range, good business practices matter...a lot! [/QUOTE]
