  THESE WERE MADE IN THE 60'S AND MAYBE 1970'S, THE COMPANY WAS SOLD SEVERAL TIMES AND MOVED SO THERE ARE SEVERAL ADDRESS'S FOR IT. GENERALY A VERY GOOD ACTION. 0 COLLECTOR INTEREST JUST A GOOD SHOOTER.

  DGD, maybe not much collector interest, but plenty of interest from the single shot clan. These were well made actions that were relatively inexpensive "back when" (what wasn't?) and have escalated in value greatly. I have a copy of some descriptions of the 3 sizes of actions that I could email you or snail mail a copy if I had your addresses. Emery
