[QUOTE="hammertyme, post: 342162, member: 12863"] Boy that left handed action sure is tempting for a handgun build. However I am going to avoid it for the following. 1. If a action comes from the *factory* with a long stock and barrel on it, it has been designated as a rifle. 2. Being designated as a rifle no amount of money nor is there paperwork available for converting it into a handgun. It is also a Federal crime to convert it into a handgun and the barrel length has nothing to do with it. 3. If a guns comes from the Factory designated as a handgun, I may convert to a rifle once. And forever more it is a rifle. Late last week I ordered a undesignated left handed stainless magazine fed long action only from Savage. Jerrys in PA lists the moly righthanded version of the action at $352.50 to the door (FFL). Savage just recently started releasing lefthanded stainless actions in undesignated form. SO shortly I will own a long action striker repeating handgun in 338 Edge. Ordered through Jim Briggs at Northland Shooters Supply. 763-682-4296. Many sell and now Savage are selling actions only for our builds. Wholesalers and builders are transferring or purchasing ACTIONS only for their builds. When the consumer fills out that pretty yellow purchase/record form, you designate it at that time as Action only, or handgun or rifle. Neal [/QUOTE]
