Re: Lawton actions
Baldie, bro I thinks you asked a bad question!! There is a love-hate relationship here with Lawton. Some guys have had great experiences and some have not.
I hope you get some good feedback, I suspect it will be mixed, I'm just sayin!!

Re: Lawton actions
I kinda realised that Sir. I would just like to hear it, good or bad, and hope it doesn,t ruffle anyones feathers, especially the site owner, or mods.
I will be quite honest, and say this information is very important indeed.
Thank you.

Re: Lawton actions
I called to inquire about a 7000 a couple of weeks ago and couldn't get an estimated lead time. Said they didn't know when the next run would take place. That tells me it's a quite a while.

Re: Lawton actions
So my story, they were late by about 4 weeks on my build. When it finally got to me these were the problems:
1.) They didn't bother to mount the break I sent them, so the timing wasn't even close.
2.) Barrel had a bunch of gouges up and down it. First they blamed me, then they blamed the FFL, and finally UPS.
3.) Bolt Assembly was rusted all over.
4.) Would not fit my AICS Stock despite me asking them right at the beginning if it would be a drop in fit, and them saying yup.
Jackson the Shop Manager is a prick.

Re: Lawton actions
I just had to "adjust" some trigger pin holes to get pins thru a trigger? I was giving them another chance after my major headache two or three years ago. Three actions returned to get one that was OK to use. I wont do it again.

Re: Lawton actions
Had a Lawton in 300WSM. Was built on time, functions great, arrived as promised and had no problems. Was right before Barney passed away. Was happy with all my dealings.
Rifle is a laser, action is smooth as silk...

Re: Lawton actions
They were good by me. Before and after Barney died. His wife Moreen will be straight up with you. I was proactive in reminding them about the time frame they quoted me and all was good. They made some great actions as well!!

Re: Lawton actions
I have a Gap Crusader with a Lawton action in 308cal. Love it, but I can say I like the Surgeon action better. Custom builds suck, buy something already built ready to go out the door.

Re: Lawton actions
I just built 2 rifles on 7000 actions. Love it.. Order 2 7500 actions. 2 weeks ago should get them next week. When I ordered 2 barrels it did take 3 months but no big deal. I have waited longer from another company. I like their products.

I don't think Moreen works there anymore. I've been calling about my build for 8 plus months and she hasn't answered the phone in about 4 months.

Re: Lawton actions
There are many other good custom actions out there. From what I have read I would never do business with them. If it was just a little thing here and there, well then so be it. But I have read some horror stories with these people.
That does not mean they dont make great actions though.
Thats just how I take it.

Maureen is not Barneys wife. She is just a friend of the family, and she does still work there. I just talked to her yesterday.
I'm sorry to hear the troubles you guys are haveing. Everything that I've received over the last 7-8 months have been top notch with no problems what so ever.
