They left the auction with the items they wanted and others are complaining on the internet. Stupid and happy most likely. And in these miserable times, happy is good.

I was surprised the K&S action went so cheap...But I don't need a .300 RUM target rifle....Not my first choice for long range...but visions of re barreling did run through my head....
Same but after I tried to open the action I decided it wasn't worth wasting my money on it. The bolt stop is broken yet I would have needed a hammer to open the bolt. So without looking at the lugs etc no thanks. And how do you break a bolt stop on a bench gun?

I was also following that KS Arms 300 RUM online,interested in the action only.The bolt stop being broken gave me pause for concern and that chambering had me wondering if the lugs were hammered out from hot loads,how DO you break a bolt stop?By hammering the bolt handle up then back?
Not being able to cycle the action made me give it a pass,glad I did.
Am fairly certain that was one of their early model two lug actions.
