PWS T3 Summit

[TFunfer]

Anyone using one of these actions or complete rifles from PWS? I have been thinking of ordering one of the T3 Summit actions as I already have the rest of the parts to complete a rifle.
I haven't been able to find any posts or reviews that aren't already a couple of years old.

Any overall experience (good or bad) would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Tagged. I'm interested in feedback as well.

I only have the PWS mag release on my DAR-22 and i love it!

Bump

Hoping someone will chime in with their experience.

I think Questar is the only dealer showing them on their website for pre-order. I wonder if they have brought any in for anyone and if the 4-6 week delivery time was accurate. I wouldn't mind trying one myself in a .17 Mach2 project.

They have had them listed for years!

I contacted PWS and they have a 6 month backordered on the the Summit series. That is a long time, but I guess not as bad as some manufactures.

Wow thread revival

Since my last post I purchased a T3 Summit with trigger group from Questar. It was instock so I grabbed it, so I can't comment on order wait times.
I installed a 10/22 barrel I had in my parts bin and have since installed it into a Magpul X-22 stock. I have only had it out a couple of times so far so I haven't tried a variety of ammo in it. Seems to like CCI Mini-mags though. Fun to shoot
A .17 Mach 2 barrel for it would be icing on the cake

Doesn't the T3 Summit bolt have dual extractors? Did you have to cut a second extractor slot into the barrel or did you just remove one extractor?

Where can I find a .17 Mach 2 barrel?I ordered a T3 a few weeks back and its being shipped now.

Yep, looks like there are dual extractors after all. The weak side extractor pushes back out of the way and doesn't require a second extractor slot.

So far I've only come across .17 Mach 2 barrels on Brownell's website. Haven't found a Canadian source yet, but I haven't been looking very hard either

You're correct, had to double check. Because the weak side extractor pushes back out of the way when the bolt is closed, I overlooked it. I thought it was just part of the ejector. This is how they get around only needing the single extractor cut of the 10/22 barrels.

I have not seen a .17 Mach 2, 10/22 barrel for sale in Canada recently. I had planned on machining my own and already have the barrel blank for it. Just need to buy a reamer, but didn't want to get one till I was sure I was going ahead with the project.

Okay, my turn to chime in here.

I bought my T3 from CRAFM for $1249 or something like that. I loved that rifle. It loved to shoot the CCI Stingers.

I loved how the toggle action allowed your pistol grip hand to remain on the grip and you cycled the bolt. Such a sweet and slick action. My son (with a biathlon background) also loved it.

I truly admired how the T3 Summit had a Ruger 10/22 footprint, any stock made for a 0.920" barrel channel was good to go, from uber expensive down to a Hogue overmolded stock. I had the 16" carbon wrapped tension barrel. Really cool and fun to shoot.

I had to sell it and let it go because my business needed a PR trainer, so back to my CZ Varmint series (455) that I bought from Wolverine for $470 plus plus.

I enjoyed that fact that the receiver has a 20 MOA pica tinny rail built into the receiver right from the factory. Most impressive.

There, is that enough feedback for you? If I had enough $$ to allow a few rim fires, I would buy another one in a heartbeat.

Cheers and bring on the questions....
