I like it better since it matches the bolt body

If it'll save you some machining time, I could do without it. Not saying it looks bad, just thinking long term in your business endeavor.
Course it could be an "upgrade" part.

pinned recoil lug?
I'm with Big Pig, its gotta have soul and look great !!!
It's good to have another action builder out there building their own from scratch , not having another builder carve their name on it. Nothing wrong with it but you know.

what do you guys think of this shroud? This is just an example... just playing with it... we would obviously clean it up a lot... I like the faceted one better, just my opinion... make sure we can all get one before they go for sale, not a year wait Will you build these Curtis actions for other vendors with their name on them or will it remain just you and JOE??

Very nice but please consider an option for a zero degree rail, specially on the short actions.

Integrated recoil lug.
We have no plans of offering these as "private label" actions to other vendors at this point....
We will offer a 0 moa rail...

Have you got the ability to build in a 30 MOA rail for the 338 LM action? If I'm gonna build a 338 Norma Mag, I'm gonna push it to 2000 yards, then see how much farther I can push it. Off to west Texas I go

Off to west Texas I go Yes, our Lapua and Cheytac based receivers will have 30+ moa rails.... Also our Lapua action... Will be made to feed 4.0+ COAL. Both the Lapua and Cheytac receivers with come with proprietary mags and bottom metal. Skip the Norma mag and go all out.... 338-408!

Who's it gonna be! Who will be the first on this site to have one? I say let FiremanJG demo one and post a full report, then he gets to keep it.

Uh oh!  I dont think I was drinking anything but water when we were in the PM conversation! I thought I said one big action. I might do some things to the action that may make some folks cringe, but I will test it, and I will post a review in multiple places, including right here.

The fluted shroud is cool... But since you asked  I think the shroud in the first pic looks better because it flows better with the body of the action. It is all about looks sir

I like the fluted shroud because it saves weight. Maybe you could offer both, one for hunting, the other for the range/competition.

I got distracted by the fireman comment...
I really like the look of this action. the 60 degree bolt is a really nice feature imo....
