KS ARMS Rifles
A friend e-mailed tonight an suggested I check out KS Arms on Facebook, so will pass that info on to anybody interested in the stuff they are doing. Pictures and prices. They are doing a run of introductory priced 2 lug actions (I have seen/handled these and they look to be top shelf). They have also designed a lightweight stock being produced by Wildcat Composites.

I have handled both the two and three lug KS Arms actions along with the light weight Wildcat composite stock. These are what I will be using for my next build.

If I am reading this correctly, we now have a one-stop Alberta outfit for barrels, actions, stocks, and bottom metal. Not sure about magazines?

The FB post says it is anodized aluminum and that HS Precision mags will fit .... and they are compatible with Rem 700 actions. I have HS bottom metal and magazine (4rnd) and it extends a bit below the stock but not enough to interfere with carry.

Carl has done some great work for me in the past.
Took him awhile to get it done as his main interest was the machine shop in the back do work for the oil field.
Good for him that he can fall back on Gun smithing when the oil field is slow .

I believe it's an aluminum knockoff of the hs unit - but I could be wrong. I thought that's what I was told from a member who has one of their three lug actions.
*** found this pic of it on Facebook.***

Anyone else buying a 2lug custom action? For the price it's can't be beat as my rem700 action true, blue printed, and 20moa rail set me back almost $900 for $250 more custom is definitely the way to go.

I’m in constant awe as to how ugly the gun industry can make things.

Guessing Gen1 without the side ejector/stabilizer springs. Do you have a price on them - at least an idea?

Didn’t see any prices on the FB page ... I think they may also have a website?

I hear $1650ish for the 3 lug, and around $1400 for the two lug.
