3-lug bolt action offering from GAP

[bsumoba]

Didn't know if anyone saw this. 3-bolt action with an extended front tennon for heavy barrel support.

Haven't bought my new action and I dont know if they would be offering this as a standalone action only WITH AW magwell cutouts. If they do, I would definitely be interested.

From what I have read it will have AI and AW support. Not sure about standalone action only though. My guess would be that they will offer this first on complete builds then possibly offer them alone if their is enough interest.

i wonder which third party mfg built these for them. i know they didn't do this in house.

would be interesting if the mfg will sell as their mfg branded action, but I could totally see them having some sort of contract where they will not for a certain amount of time. who knows...

I wonder, maybe a defiance.

3 lug 60 deg.... FINALLY!!!!!!! 60 deg is nice..... the TRG and Sako 60 deg feels smooth....

That was my guess as well after seeing the pics on SH

There's a video on Gap Facebook now. Thing looks smooth and fast!

I was trying to figure out what a "3 bolt action" was. I've seen a double bolt action rifle and three barreled drillings but WTF is a "3 bolt action"?

Frank,
I'll bring my Barnard to Cuyama. It has a 3 lug bolt, and three bolts to secure the barreled action to the stock.

LOL!

So....a 9 lug weatherby doesn't count ?

How many lugs are there on the sig blaser? I never counted when I played with one.

For me, I'm liking the American rifle company mausingfield, also a 700 footprint, with Mauser controlled round feeding and Springfield ejector.

Here's hoping GAP will sell the action separate. If not, pretty sure Defiance will make one if you just tell them you want one just like it ... maybe...

The extra lug will certainly help AW mag feeding by offering more contact areas between the bolt and rounds. Whenever I work the bolt fast on my Defiance Deviant, the bolt would sometimes glide over the next round.

So much for saving my tax return money this year.
