OutdoorHub 01.07.14
Trop Manufacturing, LLC announces its acquisition of the Ed Brown 704 rifle from Ed Brown Products, Inc. Under the brand Legendary Arms Works, the storied, but formerly elusive, 704 action, will be joined by the recently acquired High-Tech Specialties stocks and Bansner’s Ultimate Rifles to produce one of the finest, most durable sporting rifles in America, under the direction of master gun builder Mark Bansner.
Referred to by Guns & Ammo magazine as “the most significant advance in bolt action rifle technology in over 100 years,” the 704 action features controlled round feeding, mechanical ejector and 3-position safety. Ed Brown Products had ceased production of the rifles in 2010. Trop Manufacturing has now acquired the means to produce these rifles and, in doing so resurrects, the Ed Brown 704 action.
Trop Manufacturing’s creation of Legendary Arms Works marks the genesis of a new era of sporting rifle manufacturing in America. Incorporating American-made component parts with excellence of craft means a new standard of shooting and hunting rifles in the market.
