With precision CNC engineered components, single piece bolts, and PVD coatings, 1934 Armory gives you the durable parts you need for your rifle build. If first-shot accuracy is what you demand, then look here for your next custom build.
Step 1: Concept & Blueprint Submission
Building your custom bolt-action parts starts with creating a concept of what you’re looking for and providing your blueprints. Reach out to the 1934 Armory team to begin discussing what you need, whether that’s a bulk order of their proven BE-series actions or something completely customized. Precision long-range shooters competing in PRS might have specifications for tighter tolerances while hunters heading out into the backcountry might demand a lighter weight action for trekking long miles under pack weight.
At your initial consultation, the 1934 Armory team will review your ideas and blueprints, give expert advice and insight as to the design ideas, and ensure the demands are feasible. They will require details like intended caliber, short or long action needs, or any other customized feature sets such as Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) raceways or specific ejectors. Going over these details ensures both you and the 1934 Armory team are in sync with your vision and within the parameters of mechanical possibilities with the on-sight capabilities of their machining processes.
Step 2: CNC Machining & Precision Manufacturing
As soon as your design and the manufacturing team are in agreement, 1934 Armory begins the building and engineering phase of the process, giving life to your ideas. They incorporate custom tolerances to give your action components the best possible performance that modern machining can offer. It is during this stage where 1934 Armory’s state-of-the-art facility shines, giving each part the precision and care you demand.
EDM Raceways & CNC Tolerances
The core of 1934 Armory’s production lies within the CNC machining, precisely shaping metal into premium components. Solid blocks of high-strength steel or alloys are shaped into actions and bolts, crafting solid components with minimal weight. EDM leaves smoothed raceways which significantly reduce friction between the few moving parts to give your bolt its signature smoother operation. Miniscule tolerances greatly increase reliability when mating the action to the bolt and barrel you choose to add later.
One Piece Bolt, Mechanical Ejector & PVD Finishing
A hallmark of smooth operation and guaranteed reliability is crafting a one-piece bolt. With precision machining, a one-piece bolt offers the rifle an extremely high level of strength and alignment while maintaining its structural integrity. Mechanical ejectors ensure reliable casing extraction from the chamber even with reloaded casing that have been fire-formed to the barrel. A final Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) coating leaves the critical components of your custom rifle resistant to corrosion while leaving a professional grade finish.
Step 3: Quality Control & Assembly Readiness
Once machining is complete, your custom bolt-action components go through a rigorous quality control check. The team conducts function checks, ensuring parts compatibility and proper fitment. Quality control is approached with the utmost care and attention to detail at 1934 Armory. Components are thoroughly inspected to confirm the tight tolerances for your custom rifle build. Any necessary adjustments to the parts fitment will be made during this phase. Once completed, you will be notified of your order’s completion. 1934 Armory backs their products with a limited lifetime warranty for their custom firearm parts.
