Barnard Model P Action
The original action produced since 1982, the basic design is unchanged, but with continuous quality improvement as production technology has developed.
Designed for the Palma or long-range shooter. A single shot cylindrical action, in right or true left handed configuration, also available as twin port, left bolt/left port, or right bolt/right port.
Supplied as standard with the Barnard Target trigger, or the action with a hanger for attachment of after-market "Remington suitable" triggers. The receiver is of 4340 chrome/moly/nickel steel through hardened to 38Rc and finish machined after surface hardening to ensure concentricity.
The bolt carries three forward locking lugs, is equipped with a Sako style extractor and can be supplied to accept any case rim up to 0.534"(standard magnum rim). It too undergoes finish machining after hardening, and is hand lapped to its mating receiver. Though not standard, a bolt face plunger type ejector can be included when an action is being ordered. A common option is the have the receiver cut with Anschutz standard dove-tails.
