Why?

Did they lighten up the left over Forbes actions for their rifle? Stocks?

I'm just curious what has happened to all the Forbes stuff since Barrett was selling them at one point. Sold everything off then designed their own rifle?


Doing some reverse engineering and tweaked enough not to get sued?

Bolt release looks the same on the Forbes and Barrett.


I don't know a thing about it but I figure Melvin had contract with Forbes that didn't carry over to Barrett.
