A little more info on these ultra light actions. These first prototypes I took an edm action blank that would accept a Rem 700 factory bolt. With a lot of thought, brain farts and hours put in the shop, the dream became a reality. After I completed the prototype actions and was happy with the result I figured if I'm going to put that much time and effort into something why not make it a superior product. With that thought in mind I set off on the task of designing a complete different action. As mentioned earlier these new phantom actions will drop into a Rem 700 stock, use Rem 700 triggers and bottom metal, a big plus for people wanting to personalize their own rifle. The new phantom action will feature a full body ultra light .810 diameter bolt. They will come in short and long actions for both standard and magnum bolt faces.

If you can deliver on your claims, I will gladly send you a check. However, I have been thru developing an action and then trying to manufacture it. There are always unforeseen challenges and delays even if you duplicate M700 dimensions and materials. You are using different materials and dimensions. You appear to be using a composite sleeve over a steel inner for your receiver. That is a great idea if you can manufacture it. In addition, you have altered the bolt body diameter from around .700 to .810". That may complicate using M700 triggers and other parts. I wish you well and genuinely hope you can keep your delivery dates. I suggest it is better to under promise and over deliver. My inquiry about not finding information on your website will be nothing compared the abuse you will experience if you take money and then don't deliver. Check out the complaints regarding Stuart S, who makes actions, or about Ruger, who makes a product announcement before that new product is readily available. Best of luck to you.

I was wondering what kind of progress has been made on delivery of the actions.

Imagine that.....
Phantom? Aptly titled.

Am I missing something here. Didn't we just talk about Diablo Custom Rifles being out of business and screwing customers around???
