PTG Lonestar Action

[archerforkids]

Whats the general feedback on being worth the purchase on this action. Seems like a good way to build a decent benchrest 22. Would it be any better than building off a CZ action? Of course, "you get what you pay for" comes to mind also.......

I had one and it had some extraction issues but after Gene Davis went through it and replaced the extractor and springs I never had another issue with it. Rifle shot extremely well, at the price they are now you have some room to play with them a little, It's basically a 40x, I think it's a step up from a CZ for a full build plus you can use a Remington 700 style trigger

Mine shoots well, but operation is a bit rough.

Spend the money wisely and get a 2500x.

PTG has a less than stellar reputation for customer service…..

Friends dont let friends buy PTG

I've bought a couple of actions from PT&G. Very pleased.

If you are a lefty, I have a brand new complete pqp 2500x build nearing completion. I may let it go due to eye issues?

I expected to hear this. And respect the opinion. My gut feeling is with a good barrel and trigger this would meet my "wants" for a while. It's my hopes it would be a step up from the factory CZ457 I'm shooting now. Thats the mystery/risk that prompted this post. Given my location, being a competitor is tough. Minimum 2 1/2 hours to play in some ARA matches. And I'm to dang old and broke down for the gymnastics involved in rimfire PRS or NRL22.
Thanks for the feedback back gentlemen.

This is from a new ptg lonestar a friend bought a few months back. I my opinion this is unacceptable.

Wow....that's pretty sad

Wow... That bolt does not look a couple of months old. Looks like someone took a chisel to the inside and outside extractor slots. Both of the ones I bought are much smoother and well machined.

I am in the process of barreling one up now for a friend, I was tempted to buy one but not any more. I anticipate extraction problems with how weak the extractor springs are, if someone has a fix I’d love to know about it.

this is his second action, I had him send back the first one, because of a timing issue. Not sure why but reciever face to bolt face dimension is drastically different on this second one. Also came with a different thickness recoil lug. Had to change the tenon length .090” I will report back when it’s complete.
