American Rifleman Television - Melvin Forbes And His Rifles

[@jeffreylocke8808]

That makes sense. A 280 Ackley Improved with a 24 inch barrel on a Melvin Forbes Ultralight Rifle design makes me want one.

I have colt light rifle from when him and colt was in business. It’s a very accurate rifle shooting .75 moa . I have had to change several things though . The firing pin spring started causing light primer strikes before 50 rounds . Before 200 rounds the trigger was firing when you take it of safety . I changed it out with a jewel trigger for a Remington 700. I would love to hear his thoughts or take on what happened with him and the other companies that built his rifles.

Brilliant!

Wilson Combat took over the company and cut the selection by 90% while raising the price 30%. Let's hope they level this out soon.

Agreed. And all the videos show very very sticky bolts which just can’t happen in todays world when you have Bergara and Tikka making super smooth actions for 1/5th the price of these guns

Always wanted an ULA or an NULA. Settled for a Rem 700 Ti and just re-bedded, added a Jewel trigger and Gre-Tanned the firing pin and shroud.
