Re: Who will make a Titanium action for me
Barney Lawton will not make a Ti action.
Depending on what caliber your going to use, Ti will not stand up to the constant hammering on the locking lug abutments. Smaller rounds will work ok, anything from the magnums on up to the big mags don't try it. I build the Full bolt style Ti actions, they have a steel abutment inside, this is the only way i can use them on the 338-408 wildcats. Making a Rem style action would be extremely expensive, you would need the inside WIRE EDM cut, aprox 400.00 for the one operation. Then the long process of machining the rest of the action. Special tools are required, taps alone are 35.00 ea. It is neat stuff when it is all done, but figure 3 times longer in the machine as to 4140 or 17-4 stainless.
