New action from SYSS.

[baldie]

Here you go folks, first pics of our new action. Its a l/h single shot, as i have an order for 3 rifles for the same chap, and needed these quick.

The action will be available in r/h and l/h repeater or single shot.

 

 

Specs.

Its a remington footprint action with a separate recoil lug and rail. The rail is 20 moa as std, but available in zero cant too.

Pinned trigger mech, and round bottomed to fit any remmy style stock.

 

The action is made from 416R stainless hardened to 39-40 Rockwell

The bolt is made from 4140 steel hardened to 43-44 rockwell.

The bolt is the std 2 lug design, fitted with a rem style ejector and a sako extractor. It is helically fluted, and runs std remington firing pins, and springs etc. Bolt handle is a teardrop style with a 5/16 x 24 unf thread, to accept any american knob.

 

 

Tenon length is std remmy, but the thread is 1.062" x 18...a slightly finer pitch than the std remmy.

Recoil lugs in 1/4" or 3/16" thick, dependant on what the customer wants.

 

This action differs in the fact that the bolt clearance can be specified upon order. If you want 0.0015" benchrest clearance...you can have it. The std clearance on the repeaters is 0.0035"

the rear tang is scalloped down both sides to fit stocks better, and the ejection port is smaller, and higher than a std remmy, or clone. All available steel has been left in there, which adds weight, but makes it stiffer.

 

It will retail around the £800 mark, with a £40 extra charge for left hand. Trade prices and supply to bona fide RFD,s.

Any bolt face you want. a nice mid priced action for any general custom build, and made in the UK.

 

Later this year, hopefully, we will be releasing a purpose built tactical action, which will have all the desirable bits from the best actions incorporated into it.

I do like that bolt. I love helical flutes

[baldie]

So do i Mark. the next cunning plan is helical flutes on a barrel, a la schneider.

[Scotch_egg]

Why are your pics always so small?!

 

I like the sound of the tactical action, the sale of my jewell may need to be put on hold......

[snap_shot]

yeah bigger pics......can't drool over the little ones....haha

[foxing2night]

Looking good,,,,,

 

Sure are some interesting things going on in the gun trade!!!!

 

Nice to see,,,,,

 

O yes, the pics are to small

 

All the best Darrel

[Ronin]

Fantastic news - these will sell, as will the repeaters.

 

 

Well done!!

[baldie]

The pics are small because Roger, the tight barsteward wont replace his box brownie ........

[Elwood]

These would appear to be very competitively priced, well done SYSS As they are a Rem footprint presumably they work with Jewell triggers?

 

Now give me bigger pictures with sexy angles

[baldie]

Yep it will work with anything Rem , Ian. It,s suicide not to these days.

[ChrisF]

A Ultimate Tac action , maybe something like a Surgeon 591 thats designed to use the 10rd AW mags , or maybe a AW clone la badger M2008 .

 

Or a VR-1 ,

 

Its nice to see more action options from outside of the USA .

 

 

Cheers Chris

Dave you quoted this "It will retail around the £800 mark, with a £40 extra charge for left hand. Trade prices and supply to bona fide RFD,s.

Any bolt face you want. a nice mid priced action for any general custom build, and made in the UK."

 

Does that mean that there have been machining tolerance comprimises making these unsuitable for competition, or is it just the way you said it.

 

I am not trying to be negative at all because they look spot on, i am just trying to see what application they were intended for.

[Vermincinerator]

Very nice Dave but please, BIGGER PHOTOS mate

Mid priced as in cheaper than an american action, and around the same price as other UK made actions that are emerging.

 

We could make it out of some exquisite stainless, put a diamond pattern on the bolt, then charge the same as BAT do, if you wish.

 

It,s not a BAT, it was never intended to be. Its an action of comparable quality to all the other remington clones out there, EXCEPT the customer can spec how tight they wish the bolt to be, so it can be suited to its particular purpose, whether you use it for benchrest, or whacking deer.

There are no compromises made on the tolerances. Our reputation was made on competition/tactical rifles that regularly win. We would not use any action that isn,t capable of the same.

Very sweeeeeeet looking Dave, fantastic to see the British Gun trade blossoming.

Thanks for clearing that up dave it sure does look nice and for the money exceptional value as ell .

[baldie]

Its is great to see the trade blossoming Steve.

 

Never before has the trade seen such an amount of people who are sticking two fingers up at the yanks, and saying we aren,t gonna put up with your crumbs from the gun table anymore . [ no offence meant to our american friends here, just the american guntrade in parts]

There is now a whole load of stuff being made here.

If we could find a cheaper barrel made here, and a reasonable priced stock, we could make an entirely british 10/22....we already manufacture every other single part of it.

There is now a range of British actions, for fullbores, and rimfires, floorplates, bolt knobs, rails, moderators, ar lowers { bradders] etc, etc, all being made by gunsmiths up and down the country, and its bloody great.

Our export licenses are all being renewed at the moment, and there are several we wont be bothering with again, as we are now making the stuff here. It does away with all the bullshit, paperwork, and time delay, and also cost, plus it puts work back into british engineering....and about time too.

The trade has finally woken up to the fact that the american import side of things is a dying duck in some fields, and are working around that fact.

[nemasis243]

Very Sweet Dave , looks cracking

[Gun Pimp]

Dave,

 

Nice looking action - I didn't realise you were so close to production.

 

There are now four british Remmy clones available - looks like good news for UK shooters.

 

Look forward to seeing one 'in the flesh'.

 

Cheers

You mention an action fo rimfire being made over here, is there a bolt action being made and by who, if not might be a goodd move concidering the cost of import.

[Guest richness]

Looks spot on Dave

At that price, it'll be huge i reckon

I've been chatting with a couple of friends and you'll be getting calls soon about this action

I feel there's a lot of sense in making these things in the UK and getting UK quality and pride of ownership at a price where we're not paying (and waiting on) the Yanks and import duties etc

My SYSS UK-built rimmy action has been faultless and is brilliantly accurate and reliable so I'm all for this new centrefire action

Good luck with your new Valkirie rifles mate - i'll be surporting you with my business for sure.

I built up a r/h repeater just last week in .308 thats gone to proof. I intend to kick it about a bit myself. The Action felt good, not tight, not sloppy like rem, and that was with repeater tolerances on the bolt.

The action will be available to all the trade Col. I believe that Roger is doing a straightforward trade price, for the various models, ie rh, l/h repeater, and r/h or l/h single shot. There will also be a long action coming shortly. The trade price will include the recoil lug and rail. The retail price will be up to the riflesmith building the gun.

[garyw]

Dave how small will this action go-will a suitable one be made for the ackley hornet -.17 cal etc

now that would get my juices flowing :rolleyes:

atb gary

[baldie]

No plans at the moment Gary. There wouldn,t be the demand to justify the work involved. Same as producing a bolt action rimfire, as mentioned earlier. If you are going to build something that specialised, there just isn,t the market for either.
