Couple of corrections to this thread.

KS Arms has a 3 lug action. Built in Edmonton. We use them all the time and the are excellent. Rear tang is a little longer, wider and thicker. Drops into all MDT chassis, minor milling on the Cadex, protrudes on a McMillan like the heavy Defiance do, drops into the AI Chassis.

Ultimatum makes a 3 lug action but has a floating bolt head. Does not work with MDT HS3 chassis with the buttstocks. The sear assembly impacts the stock assembly. Heavier bolt lift that most other 3-lug actions by a couple pounds even after the most recent modification. (Barnard 8lbs, KS 9lbs, GAP Precision 7lbs I think)

GA Precision has the Tempest (3-lug) manufactured by a different machine shop. Defiance makes the Templar (2-lug) for them.

Insite has a 3-lug in development that looks very similar to the GAP Tempest. Not much info available yet. They did not train under GAP, they trained under Robert Gradous.

While the GAP Tempest is an EXCELLENT piece of equipment and very well though out, there are 3 very well design Canadian action available at very good prices. And I can speak from personal experience that the service from KS Arms is absolutely outstanding. Headed over there today to pick up two more.
