What exactly is a Templar action?

Re: What exactly is a Templar action?

From GAP website....
"Manufacturer of our (Templar)action is Glen Harrison, Defiance Machine LLC. , Glen was the founder and former president/owner of Nesika Bay Precision before selling it to Dakota Arms. Glen is a pleasure to deal with and we are very pleased with the actions he is making for us."

Excellent action. Have one on my 6.5 Creedmoor. It's one of the originals and they have been making upgrades since, like the 1 piece bolt/handle, and now they are better than ever. Don't heistate to get one.
 
Re: What exactly is a Templar action?

I just got the Defiance Defender action I ordered a short (stunningly short actually) time ago. Zowie, it is beautiful, smooth, and looks great. The FFL who received it for me is also a gunsmith by hobby and master tool and die maker by trade, and he was very impressed with it. I think that says alot more than my untrained opinion. Defiance was great to work with too.

They make signature actions for many of the big names on here...Roscoe, APA, GAP, to the particular smiths' specs. They make great actions.

Great action, smooth cycling, consistently centered firing pin, strong extractor, oversized bolt. I can't say enough about my GAP build with Templar action.
