Jack, you were their Contract Manufacturer in Reinholds PA. I imagine you would know who supplied their barrels. Not going to step into the fight between you and LAW on Manufacturing rights on the actions but "leading the witness" seems like poor form. Maybe you have a non-disclosure so it's the best you can do to push direct to consumer action sales. It just seems a bit off to portray yourself as a unbiased person questioning their Manufacturing. I admit the action is intriguing and I saw your sale ads in another forum. Full disclosure if possible is best. It would be great if you spin off with Mark into a different entity but I am sure contracts prevent it.

Curious if anyone has handled one of these.

Saw one reference to the action needing truing on a LAW rifle but to his credit Jack was asking questions about the action. He seems to really care about the perception and feedback. It was used on Ed Brown rifles but not sure if EB did anything after receiving them. For the price even if it needs truing it may be a good deal.

I have a LAW rifle and like the action. Which, like you said, makes this seem like a good deal if it's like it.

I bought a LAW rifle in 6.5 CM. I talked to Mark for the best part of an hour. It is my "go to" rifle for tree stand hunting in western PA. It is very accurate and dependable.

I really like the 704 action.

It is a keeper for me.

That’s not news. Mark was stocking Howa barreled actions beforre LAW emerged. I do wonder if there are anymore alpines or if they’ve all been made at this point.

I did call last week- before I noticed this thread to find out about getting a few Remington 700 stocks. Left a voicemail and that’s that. Never heard back. My hope above all else is that the stocks remain in or return to production and with the same quality that they have historically had.

Sent them an email a few weeks back inquiring about stock availability, no response yet.

I picked up a Professional on here, a scope I purchased didn’t work with the Talley’s I bought. I have some more coming so once I get my 3-10 mounted on my 30-06 I’ll update y’all on accuracy.
I reload and have a pet load from another LW rig I had, but this range trip will be factory loads only.

Any new news on the status of production, etc...

They have likely now lived up to their bravado and passed into "legendary" status... ie, a memory.

Alright fellas, after much time has past I finally had the chance to take her out yesterday. I reload, but as of late have been too busy to press a few rounds. That being said I took 8-9 different factory loads to the range to test accuracy. First off it liked the 180’s, I tried several different 165’s, 168, 178 and 180’s. Most were 1-1/2 to 2” groups. The best group funny enough was with Remington 180 Cor-Lokts where I achieved a .75” group.

Rifle handles very well, but I’ll be getting the bolt polished as it’s a bit grainy when cycling round after round. Granted over time it might work itself out.

I’m certain once I roll my own this rifle should be a 1/2” shooter.
