As I recall I want to say yes. That boss or whatever you want to call it is whats holding the trigger guard assembly it gets kinda thin when you remove that material. I was not thrilled with how much meat was left but I am pretty easy on my stuff. If this is a rig where the trigger guard may get seriously whacked I don't know if that might break?The lower material is the right hight though, right?
I'll be chambering it on Monday. Reamer should be here on Saturday.
My Preferred prefit shoots great. Five shots at 100yds. Then pretty much center punched steel out to 500. As soon as the weather gets better I’ll take it out further.
This is a 212 ELD-X loaded to max mag length, and the bullet tip gets stopped by the feed ramp.
The only thing I miss about my Zeus is the QC. I wouldn't buy one again given the CDG's price and features.
I want a QC CDG.

@karagias once made a quick change action called the M2 “The Balance of Power.”
American Rifle's M2 Precision Bolt Action Rifle - The Balance of Power
Hi all, I’d like to introduce one of American Rifle’s newest products, the M2 Precision Bolt-Action Rifle (dubbed The Balance of Power). If you are currently attending the Shot Show, come see us and this rifle at booth 2701. I designed this rifle for the sole purpose of hitting targets...
I want an M2 and CDG love child.

It’s a shame those were never built for the market. (Outside of the prototypes)
How does the CDG compare to the Zeus as far as smoothness? I just got a Zeus and it's pretty nice, but coming from a Tikka I was a little thrown off at the difference in smoothness. The Zeus can bind if I don't run it correctly, unlike my Tikka. Took me a second to get used to but now runs great. If the CDG is smooth like a Tikka where I can be haphazard with it and never bind, I may order one. The Zeus feels better on locking/unlocking, the Tikka feels better running the bolt back/forth. Curious how the CDG compares.
Did you ever get the 7 PRC prefit? If so, who did it?
I don't have a Zeus, but do have a T3 and a CDG. My CDG is a bit better than my Tikka in terms of cocking and bolt cycling. Had I chose the unfluted bolt for the CDG, I think it would rival my Defiance Elite in bolt cycling. ( The Elite is thus far the smoothest cycling I've sampled).
It's a pretty easy fix with a mill. Just need to inlet the aluminum backbone and trigger guard screw as shown on my KRG Bravo. Also a little inletting just in front of the rear action screw. I also milled down the trigger guard front set screw. The Dremel "inletting" on the right side below the bolt notch was done when I first got the chassis to fit safety on my Triggertech - nothing to do with the CDG inletting.
Nothing is as smooth running as a Tikka using factory T3x lite mags or CTR mags. Of course I haven’t used all actions but the Bighorns, Defiance, Curtis, and ARC actions surely aren’t. Some may have a lighter bolt lift but that’s where it ends.
If you would be willing to share pictures and discuss what you did I, and I suspect others, would be very grateful.
It looks like you plan on using a flat head screw by countersinking the screw recess. KRG designed their chassis to adjust magazine fit by movement of the forend and trigger guard a small amount each to allow fine tuning of magazine fit. Since the countersunk screw on the trigger guard will no longer move fore and aft, you're left with the forend movement to tune mag fit. Just for your awareness.
No, I ended up just getting a 7 PRC barrel made for my R8 and will be selling my CDG action once i get around to listing it.
Same problem, would bind half way up, I put the old one back in and smooth as butter. I’m gonna take the barrel off and see if it’s an interference with the action or with the barrel come and let ARC know, kinda bunmed
This.
Really hard to get it to show up in pictures but here’s a few. The picture of the loose extractor is the original.
Since at least Rev C March 2023. +/-.004"
Did you have to remove the bolt release bracket to clear the CDG's receiver and modify the hanger for Timney's safety to clear it?
I thought that Ted was going to be making ones with the clearance needed.
Would be nice to see what the primer looks like. How far are you bumping the shoulder when you resize?
Wonder if your headspace is a little tight. I would try bumping the shoulder back another .002 and see if the swiping goes away. I don't know what to think about the mark by the P.
that's possible but if so I missed the memo or my hanger didn't have it. Ordered mid April 2023, received in hand last weekend of Nov 2023. I'll have to remove material in the green oval.
Bolt release isn’t interfering is it ?
