Integral lugs aren't as simple to do as one may think. It requires a much larger initial piece of material and much more machining to make that part. I understand integral lugs seem to make more sense, but they add another level of work. We already offer dozens of combinations and adding integral lugs would add more products we have to machine and keep up on. Maybe at a later date or with more demand we will offer integral lug actions. We have done them in the past but that was before my time here. The same goes for integral rails. Our prices have been the same for years. We offer competitively priced custom actions. We are improving and working to make better products every day. Just understand it would be very hard for us to build an integral lug action at the prices we have now.
As far as headspace goes I don't see how an integral lug would be any more consistent than a properly ground and pinned lug. Most actions that offer prefits have a +- .001 tolerance. That can easily be held with an action that features a separate lug as long as the lugs are ground and the same thickness action to action.

What is a midi?

Ha! Mid length TI action
We haven't had many requests for medium length actions. We can cut multiple mag cuts in our short action from standard Remington length up to the 3.110" Bainey box. If one needs something longer then go with a long action. The weight difference is like 2 oz.

thank you
I had a previous version of the Pierce Ti. This one looks much nicer especially DLC.
For comparison, my two 'lightweight' actions are a Tuebor Precision Ti that has a steel bolt. It's 22.5 oz. The other is a Defiance Anti that I just got nitrided. It weighs 22 oz. You can save more than two more ounces with this Pierce.

Yes the action alone is about 2 oz lighter than what's pictured if you don't have the Talley rings included.

We don't have people calling in everyday asking for integral lug or integral rail. I never said the market isn't there. I'm not sure why you're getting so aggressive over this. We have made them in the past and we personally just don't have enough demand from our customers. I understand if we offered them then we would reach to more people. Like I said though, we have many many combinations already that we have to keep up on. Maybe in the future we will offer integral lug and integral rail actions as standard features. We're currently swamped with orders for what we already offer. At this point we don't have the extra time or the capabilities to add anymore options to our lineup. I'm sure at some point we will offer more options and include integral lugs and rails. But at this time it would over complicate what we have going on and add more complexity to the machining processes.More demand?? ummmmm well lets see here ..... BAT, Defiance, Lone peak, Tuebor, Impact, Borden, Terminus, Curtis, Surgeon, Bigorn/Zermatt, ARC, ETC. All have at least one option of integral lug and or Rail (s) but I guess the market isn't there...!!
