Hi I'm debating these 2 actions and I'm down to the last few details. How readily available are replacement parts such as extractors, ejectors, and other parts for each action. Does anyone have any opinions on a fixed style mechanical ejector in the Origin vs moving spring style in the APR G2? Also any pics showing how thick the bolt stop metal is on each. I found these two images showing the different style ejectectors. Any info will help a lot. Thanks.

Bighorn has top notch customer service. Getting spare parts in the mail is as easy as giving them a call. I have never heard of a Bighorn Origin or TL3 extractor or ejector failing under regular use. I also have never heard of the bolt stop failing either.

Thanks Mordamer, Ive heard nothing but great things about Bighorn. APR users love their actions too. I wouldn't expect either action to fail, and I don't want people to get the wrong idea as if that is what I'm implying. Simply thousands of rounds down the road I would like to be able to service the action myself and do so by obtaining parts easily. Seems like the Bighorn is more widely used therefore would have more milage and reporting to go along with that. The majority of reports I have read on here are very positive.
