Barnard?

Is Barnard of NZ officially dead? Those actions are held in such high regard, that it is a shame if they are out of business. If anyone has information about the company, please share. Thanks, James
 
So what information do you have to suggest there is an issue at Barnard? My understanding is that it is business as usual.
 
The latest news I got was it was sold to a
NZ F-class shooter around August or so last year. I was keeping Whidden updated with news I got from contact over there.
He knows the family and helped me get parts when I was in a jam. I'll reach out and see if there are any updates. My only experience is with a PL Action that I got for a 338Imp I had built. I really like it.
 
Wasn’t this discussed here?

Barnard in Business?

Having recently ( last year) purchased a Barnard S action, I was looking for some spare parts. Things like an extra firing pin, FP Spring, and extractor + spring. It seems as if they have gone out of business. No replies to emails or phone calls n US importer has not had any product for a...

The biggest negative concerning the Barnard design is it’s biggest selling point, that being the three lug bolt.

It all looks good on paper, and the idea of having a shorter bolt throw is always appealing.

But it comes at the cost of shorter primary extraction and mechanical advantage.

It def isn't business as usual unless you mean the ongoing shambles.
I'm not going to quote names but the final offer for the business was turned down. A real shame as there is a fair bit of finished inventory just sitting there.
 
That is one strong action !! I have seen 150 of 400 straight blown primers and a extractor sheared off from beating on it and not one scratch on the lugs or any where . I hope they get up and running again .
 
Very interesting. I can see the Barnard influence. Also notice the Trigger Tech trigger attached so it must accept Remington design mounting. Excellent!

Yes - Remington triggers, Production actions won't have the bolt fluting as standard (or at all). Ian was using a Trigger Tech Diamond last weekend at the Te Puke championships. Although it fits a Barnard profile stock, there are improvements, particularly a smoother primary ejection , dual ports- left and right, that is and a nitride finish. Mine's ordered - with a red anodised bolt handle. There's also talk of a Rem 700 footprint single shot.
