SOLUS BOLT ACTION RIFLE SYSTEM
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR SOLUS SHORT ACTION
The heart of the Solus product line is the Solus Short Action. This product serves as the keystone in an ecosystem that provides shooters with an open-source, user-configurable, and quality-manufactured foundation for their precision bolt action build. Compatible with industry standard pre-fit and drop-in components the Solus removes many barriers to entry often associated with custom rifle builds, allowing the shooter to build a system that is specific to their needs. When manufacturing a custom bolt action, quality and consistency are essential. To ensure the most precise tolerances are being held each Solus Action gets inspected by CMM (coordinate measuring machine) in our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility.
The Solus Short Action features a 3 lug bolt design which allows for a 60 degree bolt throw during operation. This bolt head is easily interchangeable with options for both standard and magnum bolt faces—allowing for the action to easily be built into a number of different cartridges with the simple swap of a bolt head and barrel.
Precisely cut barrel interface threads allow for the use of both Savage small shank pattern pre-fits and Zermatt Origin pattern shouldered pre-fits. These pre-fit patterns are available industry wide as opposed to a proprietary barrel pattern— giving the end user nearly limitless barrel options to choose from when building. Remington 700 pattern trigger compatibility grants access one of the most prolific aftermarket trigger formats available and a Remington 700 footprint allows for fitment with most chassis manufacturers. These features allow the end user to be in complete control of their build without being locked into a proprietary system with little-to-no aftermarket support.

BOLT DISASSEMBLY
The Solus bolt assembly can be readily disassembled without tools for cleaning and maintenance.
- With the bolt assembly removed from the action, grasp the Bolt Body with one hand and the Firing Pin Shroud with the other.
- Twist the Shroud approximately a ¼ turn clockwise. The Firing Pin assembly will snap free when the retention lugs enter their recesses.
- Once free, the Firing Pin Assembly can be removed from the bolt body.
- With the Firing Pin Assembly removed, the Bolt Head Retaining Pin can be taken out. Slight resistance may be encountered when removing the pin. Applying light pressure to drive the bolt head into the bolt body will allow the retaining pin to drop free.
- The bolt head can now be removed from the bolt body.

BOLT ASSEMBLY
To reassemble the Bolt Assembly, follow the disassembly process in reverse order.
- When installing the Bolt Head into the Bolt Body, the Safety Lug needs to be aligned and seated within the mating/clearance pocket on the Bolt Body.
- When installing the Bolt Head Retaining Pin, ensure the through hole is in line parallel with the bolt body. This can be confirmed by the groove in the retaining pin head being perpendicular to the bolt.

INSTALLING FIRING PIN
Installing the Firing Pin Assembly
- Align the retention lugs to the appropriately sized recesses (Lugs are two sizes).
- Once aligned, push the Firing Pin Assembly into the rear of the Bolt Body. An increased amount of force is required to get the Firing Pin Assembly to fully seat.
- Once seated/compressed, rotate the shroud approximately ¼ turn counterclockwise until the detent is engaged.
*Note – Do not over rotate the Firing Pin Assembly in to the "cocked" position. This will prevent you from being able to install the bolt back into the action. You must position the Firing Pin Assembly in to the "neutral" position (see following images).

GENERAL QUESTIONS
The action body is made from heat treated 416 stainless steel.
Remington 700 footprint.
Having a 20 MOA biased rail means that we have machined 20 minutes of angle into the integral picatinny rail. This gives your optic a slight downward angle when mounted on the action. This will help you maximize the useable elevation in your optic.
The bolt head sizes correspond to a range of calibers. The standard bolt head measures .473 the magnum bolt head measures .540.473 +/-:
| .478 +/- | .540 +/- |
| 6mm/6.5 Creedmoor, 243 Win, 308 Win, 8.6 Blackout | 243 WSSM, 7mm SAUM, 7mm WSM, 300 WSM. |
