Mack Brothers EVO Action

I saw this on another forum, that was said to be a pre-order deal. Looks to be a great deal with rail and side bolt release. Does anyone have hands on information on these actions? Website just shows out of stock and no contact information.

So, .473 or mag bf only?
They say wire EDM for stress free machining....great - but was the billet sr'd after forging? Or is that a given?
More info needed for me.

Im usually the guinea pig. Sick of all the gen1 junk i have too.

It’s got Sturgis SD etched on it, so it’s got to be cool!

I have said before, the bolt handle and kanob is so ugly I will never buy one. They have been out awhile.
Wire EDM on the raceways? Several after market makers do this.

but i have enough repeaters already

Butch, are there some already being used on new builds? I didn’t know that that they had been going for a while. Thanks.

If wanting one to use with pre-fits out of the box, the Evo won't work. .010 needs to be remove from the back of the barrel to work. That puts many out right there.

Meaning the length of threads are insufficient for a bbl nut? Or?

Does that mean also that the Evo would be a no-go with the Criterion Remage setup from Northland?

See post #155 in the thread below.

From what I understand from the other thread, a Northland pre-fit will need to have .010 removed from the back of the barrel to headspace correctly. It will not bolt right up and have proper headspace.

I believe they are offering the shorter bolt now to fit Remage bbls.

I'm actually wondering if tolerance is good enough for shouldered pre-fits.

Prefer shoulder, but would like to have option for Remage.
