Anyone out there have one yet? What do you think of it? Sure is tempting.

I have two DST and one SST actions in the shop now. One is already barreled in 38-50 RH, stocked and the action off to Classic Guns Inc. for color case. The other two are awaiting their turn for completion. The machine work is top quality and the polishing requires very little touch-up prior to final finish. I should have the 38-50 back from CC next week, I will assemble it, photograph it and post photos.

The two I ordered are superb, better than the originals.  Only thing to keep in mind is that the frame needs hardened.  The springs and other parts are correctly hardened.

Are the DST parts fully heat treated by MVA?

Springs, pins and screws are hardened. The triggers themselves and all other parts are in the white in  the annealed state.
