Making more progress on the sidelever actions. Safety is installed and operates smoothly and crisp. It blocks both the sear and trigger.

Filed up the trigger guard and trigger. Sure makes a difference to add some shape

This action is ready to harden the internal components and polish every surface. It cocks, fires, extractor is timed and stout, safety works and it opens and closes like butter. I'll polish it up and get on to the next action. One at a time at this point

Will you be building any into full rifles yourself? I’d love to see what you create from them.

Let the polishing begin. Start with files where needed, then stone from 220 to 400 and move to paper up to 400. A little wd-40 for lubricant.

The length of that tang makes them very elegant looking.

This one is 99% finished. Amazing what a good polish will do. Fully functional and ready to barrel. It will wear a Brux barrel and be chambered for the 6.5x65R cartridge. Very comparable to the 6.5-06 but with a rim. It also has an incredibly beautiful stock blank of curly Turkish walnut selected.













I will make a video that goes through all of the features and operation in the next day or so.

The action is barreled with a Brux 6.5 chrome molly, chambered in 6.5X65R. It's fully funtional and ready for stocking.

Looks wonderful to me. Nice job on the trigger guard filing, Bailey - very svelte indeed.

Here is the stock blank for the 6.5X65R barreled action. Well selected by the customer. Should turn a stunner of a stock. I won't be stocking it. That will be done by Aaron Little. Very talented and will do a fantastic job.

Maybe Aaron will share progress on the build to complete this thread.

Nice looking wood. I think I would turn over the butt piece for the best layout. Aaron knows what to do!
