To my knowledge, PH never sold these actions. The bankruptcy receivers sold them as "PH parts and stock". I recall them being sold for around $60, $90 for an engraved one. But people bought them (again, NOT from PH) and they were made into rifles without proper heat treating. Some 'smiths were smart enough to test the hardness first and get them treated, but a lot were just put together the way they were. Luckily, as mentioned, there weren't many of them to begin with comparatively speaking. - dan
