Hart Action - Defunct company or am I lost

[kmartin]

I have posted several times as I move towards a new gun and as I review shooters corner for a used gun, I see a lot of Hart actions.
Unfortunately, I can't find info on them.
Is this a defunct company?

I see Hart Mod 2AS R/R action or Hart #4 1.75X15¼” long R/R action.

Cant find pictures website etc.
Any help would be great.

Ok it is Robert W Hart.
I called them and the scoop is they are no longer making the action.
They have some Long actions in stock but they need someone to come in and program their CNC to restart that product.

This is good to know but leaves me concerned.
If they cant program their CNC how can they maintain tolerances etc.
I expect most manufacturers to know their equipment etc to ensure quality.

Interesting information, just not sure what to do with it?

Thanks for your guidance.
If anyone has and image of the short action that I can reference, I would appreciate if you posted it.

Thanks

They have been making actions, off and on, for several decades. Why not contact them and ask your questions?

Great actions, horrible website.

You have to click on and download the catalog from the top of the Home Page. It contains all the products (that should be visible but aren't) you're seeking.

Thanks everyone.
Your input has been very helpful.
One note I should re-iterate is that I did call them.
Got limited information of use.
They have for example no short actions in stock. Only long actions.
I asked if there were pictures of their action on their website they said no.

I didn't see the catalog link and they didn't mention it.
Thanks to the posts I found it and it helped.
In the end I don't care as long as their product is solid.
