I will buy them for a fair price! Ray is a stand up guy! Have you actually taken the time to speak with him or are you just a keyboard warrior?
Are you referring to DPG Builds or Zermatt Actions?
Ray "Zermatt Arms" has stated they have an issue and they are in the process of fixing the issue. Once the corrections have been made they will go public with the repairs and what shooters/ owners of XXXX SN need to do to get the parts to correct the issue.
Zermatt arms
and why do we need to call him from canada
DP Gunworks quote
No update yet at this point, our clients who also have been in contact with Zermatt shared results on replacement bolts Zermatt has sent with promises of fixing this issue... see attached photos of a recent replacement bolt with 600 cycles a client shared today
We attended SHOT 2025 and saw Ray in person to discuss why our clients and non clients that have shared emails are being told only our shop is seeing this problem and it's how our shop manipulates the action as well as our 0.130" cartridge jam...
I purchased a brand new Rim-X and received it 3 days prior to attending shot from Altus Shooting. Unopened, unmolested and keeping an open mind, we had Ray open the box and show us how to manipulate the action... surprise, it gouged within 10 cycles.
I know many others are seeing this issue as I am. Regardless if you like my shop or not, this puts accountability on everyone who is dealing with this action and the product they produce. I wish more shops can put aside ego's and fear of loss profit to come together. Soon as we get a confirmed fix, we will let folks know. At this point I personally have to question and evaluate all aspects on this action and weather or not recommend this action for future clients. Changes to this action have been done multiple times in the past without vendor/dealer notice. What say the future another negative change may occur?
so if he was spreading falsehoods and then was politely confronted with this and shown the problem appears he is hiding a bit

Hmmm, Did not know it was that expensive to call from Canada! LOL. If you have not spoken with Ray ay Zermatt Arms ( THE MANUFACTURER) of the action, please do not post anymore. I have reported you to the moderators! No room on this board to bash other members or their products when the Man has posted his plans to rectify the situation. Let me know when you are ready to sell those guns!
very nice you did not respond to the DP post which clearly outlines a face to face interaction which may nkt agree to yiur view of the zermatt folks handling of the situation
awaiting your most reasonable reply and yes i will call zermatt
am I allowed to post your highness on the content of that call or do you just repot folks when you dont agree rather than offer answers
lone has been busy
and for the record why cannot Ray come on,jere and let everone know what is being done and what progress is being made as this is quite serious
and if that is wrong so be it comments
and Ray,has been contacted by guys from canada already
instead of getting Ray upset by ANOTHER CALL heres hoping he comes on and answers the questions for all of us

Here's my response from 1/28 a couple of pages back in this thread. If there's information you'd like clarity on, please reach out directly.
-------------------------
I'm sorry for the delay for those awaiting a reply. As was stated, we were all out for SHOT last week and are getting our feet beneath us now with a day and change back in the shop.
I greatly appreciate the feedback the majority of you have provided about Zermatt as a whole and myself, personally. It's great to see that positivity even when there are concerns to be worked through.
We've been working on sorting out the concerns of bolt wear now for a while and feel like we're getting closer to a final solution for those concerns, but have some further testing to conduct when we have final processed parts in hand. Currently, we've got bolt bodies out for a new process to change the material state in an attempt to remove the concern of bolt gouging. When we have them back from that process, they'll go out for one more process to yield us the final form of the part we're looking for.
We're not going to get into the weeds and address every comment made on the matter for a multitude of reasons. Hopefully that can be understood silently.
We've been able (as has been identified in this thread) to rectify the stiff bolt operation some have experienced by replacing those bolts with our current revision bolt body. But, we want to ensure that we eliminate the possibility of this happening moving forward, so we've taken a deep dive into the bolt body on the RimX. Not only are we exploring some material state changes, but we've changed the geometry on the leading edge of the affected area to drastically increase the amount of surface area that will interact with the receiver at the initial contact point. Combined, we believe we can greatly reduce if not eliminate the possibility of the gouging occurring as well as improve the overall function of the RimX as it's designed today.
For those holding extreme concern over the situation, please rest assured that we're actively working on addressing these concerns through product improvements on multiple levels.
We appreciate those of you with patience and grace on the matter. We will continue to provide the market with a high tier product for folks seeking such a thing.
Respectfully - Ray

We've had reports of phone issues from others today but have also had calls come in from all over the country. If you want to email me directly, I generally have responses out in less than 24 business hours.

Meanwhile… I appreciate the communities help selecting a mag carrier! These things are money.
PS: the fkn Rimx keeps shooting lasers with the 12 twist PVA barrel… maybe this is normal for rimfires, but it just flat shoots. Able to test at 300yds. I don’t shoot matches, but it makes me want to try. Can’t go to the local range without someone inquiring on the build and inviting me to try the local matches. Seems like a cool community the rimfire world is….

That's an amazing 300 yd group.
You should compete! That's what these rifles were made for. Don't be intimidated, just get out there.
LMAO back at you
He did not and will not apparently answer a number of important questions that are on the minds of most wishing to purchase
probably as it would affect all his sales and not just the rimfire
since apparently the karens and fan boys on this thread dont want real answers I will not pursue it at this time
but mine will be uo for sale once a alleged fix is said to be found
a shame we cannot discuss shortfalls in products and the shortfall in owners/managment willingness to properly and FULLY answer the questions that abound
Welcome to the hide where “HaVE yOu CoNTacTEd thE MaNUfaCtRer?” Is the first answer of every Captain Kirk up in this bitch.
Your’re frustrated as many are. The emotion is understandable. I had zero idea or expectations of what a rimfire action should be. Had no idea of any of the issues. After the first 200 rounds I searched the hide, found some content, and emailed directly. I had a response in 24 hours to the questions I posed.
The same build also had a scope with a severely canted reticle. Again contacted the manufacturer directly after seeking advice on the hide and they also provided a solution.
Agree that things should just be good to go right off the line, but shit happens. Cooler heads prevail (always). This to will be handled.
Only thing I’m a fanboy of, is plump women with thick thighs and round rears, even if their name happens to be Karen!
Just do us all one last favor and stand and sing our National Anthem and don't boo like last time on Thursday night! Damn Canuks!
I think one thing that people overlook is if you have a reputable gunsmith, they will handle these things for you, if you purchased a build from them. Why do I need to call the manufacturer at all. He clearly didn’t yet have a resolution for the issue what’s one more call going to do? F’ing Zero!
I bought it from a smith who’s there to resolve these things for me.
I think the highly biased early responses were blatantly obvious about a business relationship and total complete BS.
