Picked up this action for $60 off a buddy and decided, what the hell, let’s build my whitetail gun on it. A little history on it:
- built for only about 2 years it looks like
- Mossberg bought it and the ATR is designed off it
- howa/weatherby vanguard action footprint and trigger
- ER Shaw factory barrel
My smith did some measuring on it tonight and whatever it is it is goofy. Most things I could find online implied it was a howa metric thread pitch but he said it doesn’t measure close to that. I have a call into ER Shaw barrels but figured I would check here to see if some magically unicorn realm someone has built or barreled one of these.
