On another thread here is concerns about the
MRC PH action. They have couple hundred all done, but
waiting on the firing pins, which are being made now
and then will be heat treated and delivered.
And them he can assemble our actions, adjust pins, test the safety
as fast as they can, and be sent out.
The company making pins went bankrupt, with Jeff having
paid for tooling and 600 pins(for PH and other actions) and they didn't
deliver order before going bankrupt. I have picked up 4 extra actions
from guys who went on to other guns. They are a good actions
for big cases. It is only been 2 years since they started
actually making these and 22 months since they charged my card for
first one.They designed them years before, but things with others in
the firm just didn't help get it going.

I paid money with the knowledge that it was to help get
these actions in production, knowing it would take time, as many
things in the gun business does.While he was making these, he had to
buy out people so as to get busineess going in right
direction. He had avery few PH pins on approval, and he tested first
PH last summer and sent it to me to put my hairy 700HE in
it to test, and I tested it with a 65,000 psi load, Tested ok.
Couple weeks after, knowing pins work, he called to get the rest
of order and got a bankruptcy lawyer. And no pins or tooling.
I know I'll get my other actions. I got more patience than most,
but Jeff has done yeoman job considering folks he had to get
out who didn't seem to help, considering the heat treating took a while
to get perfect( heat treating co fault), and the supplier problems.
Also He is in process of making a complete fully equipped shop,
getting all CNC stuff to do all of his small parts in house ,by the end of
this year.

The heavy rifled barrel in previous post was made by
Hastings for the Remington 870. It is 26" long and a
muzzle diameter of over an inch. Hastings is gone now,
but we'd like to find some of these barrels. The Hastings
number of the barrel is 560H90.

In the meantime Remington has come out with their
SPS Super Magnum Slug Gun with 25.5" rifled barrel and
a 1" diameter muzzle, with more solid barrel, and extra
pins in mounting barrel, so a scope can be put on action. Ed
