Model 7 clone

[SteveOak]

I am about to order a Model 7 action from PT&G. Before I do, does anyone make a clone?

Make sure you can source all the parts needed.

He'll have plenty of time to source them if he's ordering from PTG

Last spring I called Stan in the custom shop, he sent on the floor to verify they had Lonestar 40X rimfire actions ready, and shipped to me the next day. Depends on who you talk with, and how you discuss.

I ordered a custom reamer recently and spoke to Dave. It was shipped in a timely manner and the reamer looked great. I know they had issues and may still but the whole process went well for me on my most recent order with them.

You must talk to Stan. He runs the “FFL room”. I talked with Dave Kiff on January2, 2023 and verified they had 2 40x in 223. The hand off to Stan was rough, and I finally got them Dec 13, 2023. You just need to expect a long lead time when you start.

Screw me once shame on you. Screw me twice shame on me. Ymmv

I believe BORDEN makes a Model 7 clone the Alpine XP, but it may only be available in single shot, Im not sure.

I have a Defiance model 7 clone on a .223 and it's great with the Lilja barrel. Just be aware that finding model 7 bottom metal is next to impossible. As far as PTG they have a sale on Remington LH short actions but don't have any bolts! I dunno, doesn't make business sense to me and I should have known better but I still have one on order. You're correct, Stan does seem to care and will try to get an answer to your question.

I'll probably be dead by the time I get my new reamer . at 83 .

I saw an ad on an internet store yesterday for some actions and bolts from PTG. CHEAP !

Thank you clowdis.

I am building an XP-100 repeater style pistol with a 5 shot detachable magazine. A blueprinted Rem action will suffice for this application, IHMSA big bore pistol silhouette.

The action and bolt PT&G has will work, just looking at options before I order one.

PT&G shows a blueprinted Model 7 action with a bolt for $684. Handy link to PT&G page for blueprinted Model 7 action with PT&G bolt
