Hey Roksliders,

Meet the Kelbly Inc crew back in November when @Team4LongGun (Dave) started his 7mm PRC build. It was Dave’s first choice for building that gun. They’re supporting Dave’s build and want to take it one step further in meeting more Roksliders.

Kelbly Inc is now an official sponsor. Give them a Rokslide Welcome

You’ll see their banners on the FNG Forum.

Below is a little more info on Kelbly Inc, but do be sure and follow that build here

Here’s one of their videos on the Nanook action Dave’s using in the build


Be sure and subscribe to their YouTube Channel, too.

And here’s some history on Kelbly Inc:

In 1969, Ralph Stolle, an active benchrest competitor, designed and built an unlimited steel action that he called the Stolle Grizzly. It was a round action, over 14 inches in length, 1.700" in diameter, with a blued finish. He built somewhere between 25 and 30 of them, mostly for unlimited bag guns. In 1970-71, Stolle manufactured the first aluminum Panda action, which was 11.5" inches in length with a long barrel thread area. Stolle suffered a heart attack in 1979, and moved to North Lawrence a year later. In 1981 he produced his first actions at Kelbly's facility with George E. Kelbly Sr. Ralph Stolle passed away in September 1982. In November 1982 Jim Kelbly was hired in with George E. Kelbly Jr. coming aboard in 1986 and Mike Kelbly in 1991. In 2012 George Sr. retired and sold company to his three sons and Kelbly's Inc. now has 15 employees including Ian and Ryan Kelbly, both Jim's sons.

Production has come along way since. Today, Kelbly's is averaging over 1700 actions yearly with 30% sold to overseas customers. And complete rifles are now over 200 a year. Kelbly's Inc. is always updating and advancing our product line with new rifle actions and rifles. Our new action lines are the Prometheus, Nanook, and Atlas Lite. These are purpose driven, built to last a lifetime parts that are backed up by an unconditional lifetime warranty.

Awesome, I've got a Nanook action in hand for a build and have emailed back and forth several times with Ian. He's very prompt and accommodating with responses, I've been impressed with him and his product.

I have a few custom guns but my Atlas Tactical is by far my favorite!

Welcome Ian, Ryan and crew!
