Alpha Arms .270
Does anyone know anything about an Alpha Arms brand bolt action hunting rifle. I have found one for sale in .270, but can find very little info on this company. Thanks for the help.

Derek,
This is one of the probably 1/2 dozen small custom action makers that sprouted up in Texas in the 60's and 70's. This is a small amount of information but there isn't much that is easily available.
Best.
Alpha Arms Model 1
Notes: This rifle was made by a Texas company in small numbers. The rifles were basically specifically built for the customer, and could be made in virtually any caliber imaginable, and with any barrel length from 20-24 inches. They could be in left or right-hand versions. The actions are made from Teflon-coated stainless steel. The Model 1 versions presented below are in the most common barrel-length (20 inches) and in the most common calibers.
The Model 1 Alaskan fires medium and large-caliber rounds. It has a stainless steel 24-inch barrel, a Nitex coating to the action instead of Teflon, and largely laminated-wood stocks (though some synthetic-stocked versions were built to customer request.

"...All parts are silver Nitex finished including rear inletted sling swivel, pistol grip cap false floor plate, and trigger guard. 60 degree bolt throw and model 70 style safety. Alpha Arms are some of the highest quality production/custom rifles made. The stock contours are slim and make the guns very "lively"."
