DPG Action Update 5-6-25

[BillZ]

I'll always put you guys priority. Yall can switch if you like, its your investment. Plans are to have these ready to ship as barreled actions when I release. I don't want any more lead times, preorders ect. Much of the leadtime I have was contributed to manufacturers exceeding thier promise fulfillment dates hence starting a chain effect. Making my own products and focusing on just that product perfection will lower lead times or eliminate them. I don't want to worry about accessories. Our sister company DP Cerakote will take over and start stocking chassis, triggers, ect.

Yall are awesome and entrusted me to build your rifles. If it wasn't for yall, we wouldn't be where we are at and continuing to improve.

An email campaign will be sent out nearing release. An early order form to verify previous orders through our FFL and invoice system (made to many rifles to keep track lol) this will give a significant discount and opportunity to get the first available.

We have our sponsored shooters that will throughly test these before release. Given each one unique abilities and location, their blessings will help determine the release date or changes to be made. As of right now, I'm one month ahead of schedule and didn't anticipate having the action bodys already in pre production. These are straight off the CNC before heat treatment and DLC coating. FB accusations are going nuts over "tooling marks and burs" lol. Certifiable machinist among many behind the keyboard

The video I posted was a testimony of its smoothness right off the cnc without deburing process and DLC, which only make it better

I've already re verifed fitment and compatibility with the top trigger manufacturers, chassis, bottom metals and AICS 22lr mags

Hey Dom!

Its got a 11mm Dovetail that gives folks the many options to choose thier favorite CZ457 scope base

View attachment 8683790

I prefer the MDT bases to keep the scope to bore axis low. Configured with a 30 MOA MDT scope base, it's only 0.075" higher than the other 700 clones
When this goes live, we'll have the option to choose.

The 11mm dovetail was chosen also because of the request from Chris Cawthrone from NASSA (North American Silhouette Shooting Association) and the community there needing an alternative small bore silhouette rifle. Where weight matters, the preference is 11mm scope rings. This also aids for those looking to setup a rimfire hunting rig as this action can accommodate 17 HMR/ 22 WSM

The screws on top are for a project working on to manufacturer my own stainless steel extended scope bases that not only clamp onto the dovetail, but also 8-40 screw down into the action, aiding for rigidity as these PRS rifles become heavier. Tendencies to pick up the rifle with the scope housing are common. My first choice was to integrate the rail into the action, however, this inhibits the ability to make these action bodies all in 1 operation. Keeping the action in tolerance with my machines ability. I would have to reset up the action multiple times to cut those rails, further tolerance stacking as well as start with larger stock material, further driving cost up and machine time.

Im open to any suggestions, hence why im conversing on this form. Cut me some slack on the commercial account thing, hold me to it when I actually have a product to promote and sell here. Im contributing what I can until then. I can use a little more in my pocket if I keep friction welding my endmills because I forgot to turn on the coolant

Gotcha, yea i was asking because of the height. Hated yhe height of my 419 base on my custom CZ's back when I was doing them. I never played with the MDT CZ bases.

Looks like you F-ed around and found out LOL! I or my local gunsmith would have canceled your build too after posting some bs like you did. Just because you purchased from the fella doesn't mean you own them and can go on public forms with that disrespectful attitude. Pre-fits seem to be a better option for folk like you who are impaitent

This looks like an awesome option. Keep us in the loop Eagle Eye! I am looking forward to getting one after the crap I delt with the Rim-X action I had. Luckily my gunsmith reused the Lilja barrel for a CZ457. Still have a manners that is looking for a good 700 option

Enjoy your soup! Post up your gunsmiths name so that if I ever find myself with $1800 to loan someone for 13 months for a toy that looks just like several others I own with questionable and subjective measurable performance differences, I’ll know to not engage with him!

You where only 4 months in and throughly knew about my leadtimes before ordering as I personally have discussed that with you via conversations. If you want to continue to publicly talk about this. I will exercise my privacy policy so folks can read both sides of the story that we had a private discussion
No need to be sour and continue deformation of my name and shop, if you feel your investment is being "used for my venture capital to make this action", your expirence is a perfect example that I have no problem refunding so you can feel secure about your investment elsewhere. No risk with our shop. We answer emails and calls right away, and you guys have no problem getting a hold of us to discuss any subject matters with your builds unlike other shops.

Folks let's stick to the topic of this post please. Any other request, concerns, im an email / call away.

Thanks for the refund! I appreciate you taking the initiative to do that based off of my question above. Whoever gets that rifle above (whenever it is ready!) is going to be lucky.

Edited to share a short funny video to make everyone smile a little. With all the craziness going on in this world, who doesn’t deserve a smile!

You would have shit a brick waiting on suppressors a year until a while back

Allow me to wipe my tears from my eyes. Ok. I’m better now.

This will be my last post on this topic unless someone brings me back into it. If you are going to quote me, quote me correctly. Look up working capital and then look up venture capital. I mentioned the former, not the latter.

And for your recollection and everyone else’s benefit, I wished you well after you unilaterally decided to refund me.

Just finished up finalizing and testing the firing pin assembly.

Edited: also just got the Form 2 approval, time to burn serial numbers!
