Falkor 7even opinions

It’s pronounced “Seven” spelled with a “7” at the beginning instead of a “S”. Not “Seven Even”.

Definitely not a wise choice for a name because it is confusing. Named by AR loving ‘Tacticool’ guys at Falkor who like the movie “7even” which is about crimes with the 7 deadly sins.
 
It seems like a marketing fail to name a product something people have difficulty figuring out.

FWIW: I think there are some nuances with the fit of the action to some chassis systems, so you may want to research that before buying.
 
When I was talking to them about ignition they did mention it maintains .240” pin fall with proper trigger timing but I have not handled one with a trigger installed so also haven’t measured pin fall. Good to hear they were concerned about that but it would all be for naught if there isn’t enough mass in a lightweight pin for a good strike.

I rename every thumb drive that is handed to me “P3N15”. Is that the same thing as naming an action seven even?

Falkor is local to us here in Kalispell, Montana. They are originally an AR style rifle manufacturer and in recent years have been trying to break into the bolt action world. I know some of the guys involved in their design process. They’ve studied the best actions and copied most of the good features.

In talking with them, I don’t believe they fully understand everything on the finer details of ignition and timing but they are working hard to get it right. I have handled a couple and they are pretty dang nice but in reality they are just another 416ss receiver to add on the growing pile of manufacturers out there. Nothing really sets them apart from the pack of affordable custom receivers.

That all being said, I wouldn’t hesitate to try one. Falkor 7even actions are not going to be as nice as a BAT HR but they aren’t priced that high either. Basically gonna be similar in quality to a Defiance Deviant

In other words, one that will need work to be good. I remember having Dwight Scott adding weight to my steel firing pin.

I have a close buddy whos business ventures have ties with bat and they have meetings with bat at shot show and hoping to be a dealer for them depending on conversations obviously.
I can get one but there is no dealers and prices are outrageous. So I’m hoping to see how those meetings go. If all works out then a vampire build will definitely be in the works if not then it might just take a bit more time to get things figured out and priced.

Firing pin material (alu shank) and spring weight (20lb) are suspect. I’m sure it’ll fire but it might not be not a great combo IMO.

I’m curious about this reply. I’ve got Falkor 7Even action. I have misfires time to time, too many actually. Light primer strikes. If I take the bolt apart and clean it up real real good it seems to help some, but after a 100 rounds or so I start having misfires again. Falkor has been great to work with, I just need to send my bolt to them to trouble shoot it. I’m wondering if I should go with a stouter spring or see if they can replace the aluminum shank with a heavier steel one. I know one thing, common place misfires are a no go.

IMO it likely needs at least 22lbs of spring and probably more (static assembled) and the weight of a full steel pin. Do you know how much pin fall you have currently? I'd be looking for .240-.250" min of pin fall.

I don’t know how to measure that unfortunately. I’m gonna send it to them and let them sort it out I guess. Hate doing that though.
