"Forging a whole action body would, and I am guessing, need a pretty heavy hammer forge and make huge vibrations and noise for the staff and neighbors. Which makers would have such large facilities to forge their own actions?"

Unrelated but perhaps useful information. Years ago when I worked for International Harvester in Ft Wayne, on a clear night you could hear their drop forge in operation. I lived over 10 miles from the drop forge location. Yes it was that loud.
