Did you read my original post? Thats exactly what I said... They buy the barrel and action housing from Howa, use their own bolt, trigger and stock. I had one, Mossberg ATR which is where the bolt problems started. All the weatherby parts were a direct swap to the ATR. Even the vanguard bolt would lock cock and function in the Mossberg. It's fine if you don't wanna believe it, but its not incorrect. I suppose people think they designed and manufactured all their own AR15 parts too...
