The Millenium action was only made in New Zealand by HHE and now licenced to Orpen Wapens in South Africa .

West Australian firm Action Clear only made the INCH action now licenced in USA.

They also had rights on the delta from memory also. But you didn’t really answer my question, I was working on saving to purchase an action from them and then they were just not there anymore.

What happened? You yourself were spruiking them to be the next best thing since sliced bread and there was a large investment in CNC machinery etc. was certainly strange how it all faded silently into oblivion.

Do not expect from me to reply directly to provocative questions !!.
Action Clear has ceased activity due to reasons it is not entirely to me to explain. They have abandonned their rights on the INCH and accessorily on the Delta who did not went on the time much over the pre-production models (made by subcontractors for them).
The ‘technician’ at Woody Engineering/ ActionClear did a lot of errors. I went in Australia in 2011 specially to determine what could be done for a large batch ofINCH actions who were waiting there since a long period due to manufacturing errors…just to conclude the whole batch of actions was totally not recoverable … Moreover, the costly CNC machine he purchased was totally unsuited for actions productions.

Facing this conclusion, the MD and financial support of the company had no other choice than to close the door, after serious attemps to honour the demand….

I think I have said enough to satisfy yoour curiosity ?. For mpre infprmation, you know who to contact.

Sorry meant no provocation, and yes that does explain well enough. As I said I had planned to purchase an action and then bam they were gone.
Thanks for your explanation.
