That looks very good... Is Stiller making them for you?

I believe it is Defiance machining.

Re: First STR Action Rifle Build

My mistake. I can't recall for sure what Ozzie told me on the phone. It was either Defiance or Stiller but I can't remember.

Me too
 
Re: First STR Action Rifle Build

Correct guys, Stiller is making these actions for me. The only difference is that the action is round like a Remington instead of having a flat spot on the opposite side of the ejection port. Defiance is also a great action, but I have been doing business with Stiller, and they have made the improvements that I wanted to see in their TAC line with the bolt handle, and the extractor. Not to mention the excellent customer service I get from them, as I'm sure most of you already know. Thank you very much for the kind words, I do appreciate it.

Ozzie -

That's a fine rifle, you do some impressive work.

Best,
Josh
 
Re: First STR Action Rifle Build

Thanks again guys. I shot video of this build to show how I built it and others. It will be on youtube, but it will take a couple of weeks to post. I will post the link when it's up. It is my first video, so excuse me when I seem to be at a lost for words. It was difficult to concentrate when you know a camera is being pointed at you, so you might pick up on a few oops.
 
Re: First STR Action Rifle Build

Unfortunately I will not be selling the actions by them selves. They will be used on custom rifles built by STR only. Sorry guys.
 
Re: First STR Action Rifle Build

Ozzie your killing me man! I might have to get a 3rd Rifle from you now...

what kind of changes ??
 
Re: First STR Action Rifle Build

Ozzie, good looking action. I think it was a good call on the completely round action. I think that looks nice. So when are you going to post pictures of your BR Rifle your building???

Mark
 
Re: First STR Action Rifle Build

Thanks Mark. My BR had to take a temporary back seat, due to customer work load. I'm close to finishing, and I'll post some pics when done, but it won't be until Feb or so now. See you at Shot Show.
 
Re: First STR Action Rifle Build

Great looking rifle! Great action too!
 
Re: First STR Action Rifle Build

Ozzie, that's a gorgeous rifle! I'm looking forward to seeing and hearing more about it. I'll be in touch via PM, hopefully we can meet up at SHOT for a bit.

Cheers.
 
Re: First STR Action Rifle Build

STR,

That's a beautiful rifle. I also like the round action versus the flat; looking forward to watching the build video.

Does your action also feed from AW mags?

What color cerakote is that?

TIA
 
Re: First STR Action Rifle Build

Sorry JJone75, I missed your questions. The extractor went from the old Sako type to the M16 style. The M16 has better purchase on the spent brass during extraction. The bolt handle is a one piece handle instead of the old handle which was silver soldered on the bolt body.
