I would like to hear from your “reputable gunsmith” about this false rumor concerning head space dimensions. The original Tenacity actions were made with a pinned recoil lug, which was purchased from an outside vendor. Defiance did not make any claims on dimensions that effect head space on...

I saw this over the weekend and started asking questions in the shop this morning. Norm reread your email and told me he misunderstood the problem. He and Cody have been trying to keep up with an overwhelming number of calls and emails. I asked Norm to get the action and barrel here to inspect...

This is NOT an issue with MDT or APA. This is an issue with the Defiance XM Tenacity action for DBM only. I screwed up. We’ve made many of the XM Deviant, Rebel and even some Ruckus actions for DBM over the last couple years with great results. The Tenacity and anTi receivers are machined using...

Defiance Machine does not advertise actions as “pre-fit” nor do we publicly publish prints. Let me explain why. The fit between a barrel and action is the only thing protecting the shooter from the extreme pressure created in the chamber. If the fit is incorrect, people get hurt. This is the...

They're machined from solid bar. One piece including recoil lug.

RyanM, some early Elites were sent out with a shorter ejector. Call or email and we'll send you a new version. That might help with your ejection issues. Thanks, - Glen

The Tenacity Difference We set out to make a rifle action to the same quality standard as all Defiance actions but meet a price point. Up till now, all Defiance actions have been custom. We don’t batch produce; we make actions one at a time, to the customer’s specs. As you can imagine, it takes...

We made a handful of the model RR’s back in 2009 that used after market bolts. Since then we had some bolt and receiver “blanks” made to our specs from an outside source. We then completed all the machining in house. Over the past three years we have added machines and brought all the bolt and...

All Defiance bolts are made in house from pre-hardened 4340, 40-44 HRc.

Yes you can order that way.

Nesika on the right.

Re: cnc bolt handle threading Very well said Matt. 300sniper, I think it’s a great idea and you’ll be amazed how long your tooling lasts with the proper feed and speed. Keep an eye on your coolant mix also, it’s very important. My moneys on you when the “race” happens. Glen Harrison

Re: One-PIece Action from Defiance Machine? Gentlemen, Thank you for the kind words. Many months ago Randy called and asked if I would work with him to develop a magazine well that would work with several different boxes. It sounded like a good, safe plan so I agreed. After several attempts...

Phoenix Machine email contact link problem I saw a post on longrangehunting.com from a gentleman who had attempted to contact us and we had not responded to his request. Apparently our “email contact form” is not working properly so we have missed some requests. I will contact the web host...
