Hello, I understand Mark does great work and I inquired about a barreled action. What is his action exactly? I'm not sure if this would be the Alpha 11 or ??? I have inquired to him about this, but it's the weekend and was hoping to find out more asap!

Here is the link to Mark's action. He's a great smith and a great guy. He'll get back to you.
 
Re: Short Action Customs

Mark is top notch. His action is cut by Defiance Machine to his design. The Alpha 11 with his modifications is extremely smooth out of the box. No real break in needed. He has built a few for me and I think he is a top rate smith.
 
Re: Short Action Customs

Another +1 for Mark and his action. I would like to have him build me another rifle and use his action. It's definitely got some really great features over the "standard" action you get from Defiance.
 
Re: Short Action Customs

Give Mark a little time to get back to you, and you'll be happy you did. They are in the proccess of moving into a bigger location to accommodate his ever growing work load. All while trying to keep dead lines on time.

Marks action was designed by him, and with the help from Defiance Machine, it turned out awesome.
 
Re: Short Action Customs

I just received my alpha 11 build from Mark...The fit and finish is top notch! I haven't shot it yet, but this rifle looks sharp. I would definitely reccommend Mark.

He's very good with the communication. He's up early in the morning answering emails so, you should get a reply on monday or tuesday.
 
Re: Short Action Customs

I plan to have some work done by SAC in the fall.
 
Re: Short Action Customs

I just wanted to mention how much of a pleasure it is dealing with Mark. He's great with communication and takes his time explaining things. I can't wait to get my hands on his build! I could have went the GAP Crusader route and not have a wait time, but I have no regrets.

You won't be disappointed. The Creedmoor he built for me is awesome.
 
Re: Short Action Customs

+1 for mark, I talked with him extensively about building me a rifle. He was very thorough and patient with my endless questions. Ultimately I went a different way, but if I have someone build me a rifle in the future it will be him
