myers action

I have read a little about the Bill Myers 22 rim fire action that is in the works and was wondering if anyone has a picture of one.
Or maybe someone can point me to a site that has a picture of one.

I guess I don't see it that way.

There is no reason a gun has to be ugly to shoot.

But hey... each to their own..

if thas action prove to be great, and it will probably be a action that uses all of Bill Calfee's action ideas so it probably will, and Calfee builds a "killer" rafle from it wont that be fun? that would keep this place lit for a year or better.
 
Are you suggesting that Myers built a rifle with Calfee specs / design input..?

I don't know.?

Is it true that Harrell's is gonna build them?

s.
 
just thinking out loug. Dont know why he wouldnt. pretty much copeis Calfee on everythi.

I heard harrel would make them but dont know.
 
Benchrester, do you have spell check? I'm trying to interpret your post and as near as I can tell, you think Calfee has a lot to learn from Mr Myers. Seems Myers is getting an action built and Mr. C is using somebody else receiver. Is that what you are trying to say?

As far as I know Friend Bill Calfee has never built an action.
 
Lets set the record straight on my action,Bill Calfee has no input what so.ever The action design is all mine,no input fron anyone,except for the shooters that have shot the finshed rifle,Harrells will be building them with my help,The action will take a Jewell trigger,or a 5018 anschutz,you need to specify what trigger you desire when ordering because there are different sears for each trigger,Anschutz is 90 degrees & jewell is angled.I let Danny Killough & Darrell Barnes shoot the rifle at Kettlefoot & both ordered one..

Have spell check but only two fingers on one hand and three on the ohter and bad arthritis in those. Can type and spell as well as understand most of you geniuses but soetimes the typing just not worth the trouble. You understand of course. This post, which only has a few bluders has taken a while to type.

Often an observer and seldom a shooter. Seems Myers copies Calfee on ideas. Calfee mya not have an action built or he may have a prototype, but his ideas are well published. Speculation but it will be interetin to see.
 
Revisionist History, AGAIN

I hate to break this to you but Bill Myers built his own actions long before Bill Calfee published any of his ideas on actions.

don't really care. remains to be seen if BM incorps BC ideas. maybe not. but first clafee has spec rifles then meyers has spec rifles. Cafee gets his own Shilen profiel then Myers. Calfee comes outwith the front ring idea, myers follows with a $40 short base. F comical what it is. ]

The really great thing is when Calfee builds big winner with Myeres action. Who gets the credit then? Light up this board for monts. Cant wait.
 
I looked over one of Bill Myer's actions at the Kettlefoot PSL match, just kinda glanced at it, as Pa Kettle used to say. Very nice action. It has 2 action screws located in front of the trigger like an Anschutz(looked to be 1/4X28 TPI). Action diameter is a bit bigger than an Aschutz, not enough to be noticeable, (threaded 3/4X16 TPI). Features drop in loading, and the part I liked is the bolt and firing pin design which should make it have excellent ignition. Available as a 6 oclock or 12 oclock firing pin on order. It has a front firing pin stop in the front of the bolt. Precision made from stainless steel, and will accept either an ANschutz trigger using a firing pin with a 90 degree sear or a Jewell trigger using and angled sear. They should fly off the shelves when they're made. Looks to be an excellent product. Bill has made many actions in the past, and won matches with them. He knows what he's doing, for sure.
 
So when is this bad boy gonna be available to the general shooting public? What's the projected price?
 
Just wondering, just asking, with all that has been profused about 90° sear, would anyone even order if uses Jewell trigger? Same with 6/12 o'clock fp? Just wondering why the options if most folks feel the 90° and 6 o'clock is best. Thanks, Douglas

Or maybe most folks don't?
 
Bill Myers

Mr. Myers, I was wondering what the firing pin was like. Is it a light weight fast strike firing pin like the Hall or is a heavy one like the Win 52, Turbo, and 40x.
Thank you,
Brad Niese
 
Good Question

FP question is a good one. A photo would be nice.
Action sounds like it is well thought out.
:)
 
First off, Bill Calfee is a good rimfire gunsmith. Some of you need to rethink some of Bill C's original ideas. Bill Myers was the gentleman that worked with Ed Shilen on the current hot barrels. Mr. C happen to get a couple good ones and was smart enough to put them on good shooters rifles. I believe the air rifle guys predated Mr. C on the scope mount method. Several rifles have had the 90deg. sear. Tuners are an old idea and James Pappas made the Knoodle popular. Sames as the 6& or12 o'clock firing pin, it has been already done. Aren't most rifles that are built spec rifles? Does Remington custom build each rifle for a particular person?
There is nothing wrong with a person recognizing a great idea and incorporating it in their package. I think that is Bill C's expertise, he sees something promising and uses it in his rifles. I think he builds great rifles, Butt!!
I think that most of us are buddies regardless of who builds the rifles, it is just hard to recognize it on the internet. We argue the same things at the matches as we have a cold brew and have a great time.

Butch,

It's not that I don't believe you on this but I've heard it both ways. Since it seems Bill C had the first of the hot Shilen barrels and was surely the first to effectively exploit them (remember Bill M was still installing mainly Benchmarks when Bill C began to use Shilen). So there is basis for believing that Bill C worked with Shilen if anybody did. Not saying he did, or even that Bill M did for that matter. It could have been Ed Shilen simply with a whim and an idea of his own. I sure would like to hear it from Ed Shilen since he is probably the only one who knows for sure. It's a piece of the history of this game. But I guess that won't happen. Too bad.
