Defiance bought out

I can’t imagine they were losing money making the Tenacity if Aero Precision Solus action is at $899 with it being nitrided, 60 degree throw and integral pic rail. Time will tell, but if they were losing money on their basic action I guess who ever was doing finances wasn’t doing the best of job.
like most businesses; especially in manufacturing fixed costs are the killers

if your are banging nails etc, you can work "harder" and get more done for short periods of time

when manufacturing is heavily machine work center dependent, the production rate is the production rate...there is no "extra" unless you spend more on hours/men/increasing work hours.

and all things being equal from reviews and such, the Aero isnt as nice as a defiance.


nitriding is prob 30$ per action, it works well and it's pretty cheap which is why the industry uses it

usually, you get a certain charge for the process and then you pay by the pound of material

Is there anyone from Alamo Precision Rifles on here? I have noticed many of their builds use the defiance tenacity or antiX. I am curious if they still plan to use defiance actions.
I asked them about this last week on an IG Q&A. They said they'll continue to use Defiance if that's what the customer wants, but the price will reflect it. They do regularly build guns with the other big name actions and I imagine most of their builds from now on will be based on those.
