Re: lawton actions
I have one that i just received. my builder advised that it is true and with in specs. ordered it march 1st and got it a week ago. the shroud appeared to have a bad thread so i called jackson and let him know what i found and he sent a new firing pin ass on monday of this week. i received the new ass yesterday. the bolt lift is very stiff compared to others i have seen. my problem is i have lost the confidence in the piece by what i have heard on the hide.
basically i am debating on just counting it as a loss and purchasing a different one or continuing my build with it.
what do ya'll think?

Re: lawton actions
Would not try to sell anything that I would not want myself. I purchased this action before becoming a member of the hide so I think you can understand the magnitude of what I have learned since I have joined.
If only I would have joined in a month earlier then I would be much better off.
I really would like to send the thing back and ask for my money back but from what I have heard I am worried I would send it back and then not get my money back.
What I have is a nine hundred dollar self correcting problem.
Simple question
If the action is true and with in specs and taking into consideration that the bolt lift is very stiff is it worth continuing my build with it?
If it is not then I will use it as a trot line weight and buy the action from LA PRECISION?

Re: lawton actions
I have a Gap Crusader with the 7000 action. It is very tight and will bind if not lubed properly. I ran my action and started liking it. I think you just need to use it. I now love the action.

IMHO you would be better off trying sell it here in the for sale section once your post count is high enough, Lawton has a bad history of not refunding money, or answering phones for that matter.

Re: lawton actions
I had a Lawton Rifle and a bare action, from 2 years ago, and they were both top knotch. I know they have had their problems, but if it is good now, I would just use it, there a lot of fine rifles built around their actions.
