 Our priority when we started making receivers was a long action magnum and a standard, simply because they are our biggest sellers. Early in 2005, we introduced our short action receiver. We were buying custom short actions bearing our name that worked well before we created our own. To get on line as quickly as possible, a very tight tolerance two lug design was chosen using some parts and ideas from the tri-lock. Our long term goal is to make the short action a full-blown "little brother" to the tri-lock in every way. After seeing the tremendous success of the tri-lock in the hunting fields, it's a no-brainer. In 2008, we added machinery to our CNC shop to help us make the final transition. The fact that many of the parts we make work on both receivers speeds production.
The different configurations we offer in our short actions are all standard bolt face cartridges. This includes everything from .308 to 17 Remington. We do not advocate
or recommend any of the short magnums. We view them as a marketing ploy that usually fades away in a short time. Our actions can be repeater with a blind magazine
or with a trapdoor. We also offer them in a single shot. If you are in need of a single shot PPC receiver on you benchrest rifle or a 7mm-08 repeater for your deer stalker rifle,
we’ve got it.

Why should you want a Jarrett Tri-Lock receiver on your rifle? First, it’s a receiver with nothing but positive features that’s flawlessly dependable. The action has three lugs rather than two so we have 50% more sectional area. The cartridges are unilaterally supported at three points rather than two. Rigid lock up. The action has no stamping, broaching, or welding anywhere on it. This eliminates metal distortion and stresses. The Tri-Lock is made of the toughest space age steel. The bolt throw is a lightning fast 60-degrees. This provides greater clearance between the bolt and the scope, a great asset to guys with big hands! The action has a rear guide bushing which seals the action while firing. The bolt lugs interlock with the rails for the true-in-line precision feeding. The Jarrett Tri-Lock has interchangeable feed rails (the only one in the industry) to interface the in-line feeding system. Semi-integral recoil lug for switch barrel capabilities. We could go on and on, but the point is the Jarrett Tri-Lock is truly a “better mousetrap.” The Tri-Lock is presently long action standard bolt face or magnum. Some future additions to the Tri-Lock model would be a Rigby boltface receiver,and a left hand receiver. These are options we will look at if there is enough interest shown.
