Coup De Grâce, New Action from American Rifle Company, $899 WOW!

What trigger was tested for pin fall? TT? I plan to run a BnA and from my experience in a handful of actions, they will add 0.010-0.015 of pin fall. Granted with the adjustment in the hanger, it's all tunable.
Huber in mine, but I believe the .250 pin fall with neutral sear adjustment is built into tue action design. Add or deduct from there based on your cock on close preference.

Could you share a pic of the mod on aw follower?
Sure I’ll post it here this evening when I get home.
Somewhere back in this thread I outlined the mods to the AW for addition of 419 extension. Holds 14 @ same length of a MDT 10rnd mag

What about rings?

I like how you have the mags loaded up and ready to go
I have some weaver 6 hole tactical rings, just didnt make it into that picture. Been tempted to order some seekins rings though to make the whole thing higher end but i already had the weavers from a previous build and they worked fine so...
 
I got my action in today. Bolt lift is significantly lighter than my Zeus.

What barrel torque is everything using? I’m coming off of a Zeus QC.

I’m so torn with wanting to troll this thread by asking the fclass dork vs absolutely not wanting that…

Was it stated earlier when the round bolt knob will be sold separately? I see the egg on the site. After seeing the round one on the pic above and having previously wanted an ultmatum deadline, that just looks so nice to me.
 
Got shipping notification for my action .473 Bolt Face 30 MOA rail

I should learn to read better... Didn't see someone already posted that they got shipping notification for their 30 MOA action

If anyone posts updates that their actions have shipped, be nice if you would include the date and time of your initial order so we can see how things are progressing (cue the inevitable bitching when someone posts that their order that has already shipped was placed later than someone who's order hasn't yet shipped... Lol)

I waited a bit and didn't order until 2/11, I'm guessing mine won't ship for at least another 2-3 weeks at the earliest.

Still waiting for the barrel anyways. PVA didn't have any .224 29" blanks on the shelf for my 22GT barrel and said it might be 4th quarter by the time they get more 29" blanks... then I remembered I had a gain twist bartlein blank on the shelf they could use and sent it their way last week.
 
When I was ordering and asked the question they told me 100 foot pounds.
I’ll have to look when I get home but 100-150 is either etched on the wrench itself or was on a document that came with the wrench. I dont think it matters much at all. I split the tolerance at 125 for my barrel.

I normally torque my Archimedes barrels (which share the same tenon threads) to 1.3825 x 10^25 femtogram-angstroms and that works very well, but I suppose 100 lb-ft may be close enough for you uncultured savages who don't own a torque wrench with properly fine resolution.

Please don't remind me I should really be using a quectogram-plancklength resolution torque wrench for any critical precision work, those are *really* expensive and out of my price range. (Insert angry poor noises here)

From Ted in this thread, yeah?

 
Thought 150 was magnum and 100 was regular.
I normally recommend torques of at least 100 lb-ft, 150 is better, because I don’t what barrels coming loose on large caliber, lighter weight guns, like hunting rifles. Hard-to-diagnose accuracy problems are also possible as a result of low torque. More torque is just cheap insurance.
 
I will say the folks were great when I spoke to them on the phone… I swear that woman took like 25 minutes with me, answering all the questions and giving me insight as to what I need to purchase. … And I called just before they were closing.

Not what ARC told me. They told me a Nucleus or Archimedes prefit will fit the CDG, but a CDG with conical breech will not fit a Nuc or Archimedes.
It will fit. It won’t feed.

Why waste all that space? No one’s tv or monitor runs vertically.
Nothing to do with internet connection.

Probably to make people like you waste space complaining about it. Be an asset to the community, valid criticism can be written in a kind way if you're an sme or know a better way, otherwise you just perpetuate the ideal that gun owners are stuck up snobs who gatekeep and insult. You're capable of better.

Do you have any idea who I think I am?
 
I do not know if this will help anyone, but I figured I'd post it in case. I picked up my CDG on Monday and have been fiddling with it. It, frankly, is a work of art. I have two Mausingfields (an M5 and an M7) and I love them, the CDG is somehow just a little different. It is beautiful to behold. The trigger tuning works really well and is very easy to do, very cool feature.

I don't have a dedicated stock or chassis for this action, I was planning on just swapping it into one of my AICS when I wanted to use it. This morning I gave it a try and unfortunately ran into a snag. There isn't clearance for the trigger hanger in the back or the front. I've got some (crappy) pictures of the rear-hopefully you can tell.

It looks like I could easily remove a little material with a mill and get the clearance needed to make it fit but I am undecided if I will do so at the moment. I might wait until I get a permanent stock for this.

So, just a heads up to anyone who was going to put this in an AICS, it'll need a little bit of fitting.

(do i need to say this is not a criticism of the action or of ARC? it's fucking awesome and i see why it could be considered the last of the bolt actions-i get it. this is just a heads up to anyone who wants to drop into an AICS.)

Edit to add:
This happens sometime. I had issues with a Timney in a different AICS as well:

Not surprising, many stocks and chassis will need relieving to fit any action with a trigger hangar; it's not a CDG only issue. Should be an easy fix on a mill, or even with a grinder and a steady hand.

I've lost count of how many early production pre-AT AICS I had to open up on the mill over the years just to clear aftermarket triggers... AI made the AICS for many years with tiny trigger pockets. By the time the AT and AX AICS came out they finally started making them with ample clearance for aftermarket triggers.

Good thing about the AICS is after you pull the plastics off they have a lot of flat surfaces and are easy to hold in a mill.

haha, yup, exactly! not a big deal, just wanted to give everyone a heads up.
 
I'm thinking the same. I have a 308 boltface. So thinking 22gt or 22creed. Havimg a hard time deciding. Leaning towards the 22gt over the creed, but I wouldn't mind something with a little better barrel life. I just don't want to get into any risk of finicky feeding so probably stay away from the 22br.
