No. God no. The Mac's shop is a top notch modern manufacturing center. They're not putting out junk. Good folks to boot.
Let me know if you want to sell one of your macs. I love my ARC nuke, but might want a mac a lower cost build.
Anybody have been notified there actions ship from the sale yet? I don’t want to bother ARC just yet because they might be busy.
Ordered a Xylo and accessories in the early hours of 11/26 and haven't seen anything yet.
Ordered xylo and wrench on 2dec and got a tracking number already.
Ordered a nuc 27NOV and arc 29NOV. Just curious if you guys have been notified. Not really in a hurry and again, I don’t want to bother them.

I think they’re just busy, but they’re getting around to it. They shipped out my Xylo on Friday. Should be here tomorrow. I ordered on the first day of the sale.
Nothing yet- I presume that tomorrow ( Monday ) is when they will start the order processing when the employees return to work. The sale wasn't over until Friday midnight - Saturday/Sunday off- and back at the order processing on Monday.
Yeah, they probably are overloaded from the sale. They're good people, be patient, no worries.
I’m excited to try my goodies out. I’m not disappointed in the Nucleus, so I doubt anything else I ordered will let me down.
They have a "Lead Time" section on their website:
www.americanrifle.com
Product Lead Time | American Rifle Company
www.americanrifle.com Interesting about 6 to 8 weeks for an Archimedes. I thought I read somewhere that ARC had said that they had stocked up a bit. I wonder if those lead times listed are for new orders coming in now. I wonder how the orders placed early in the Black Friday would have similar time frames or not.
I got a Nuke and Arch about a month prior to the sale. When I ordered them short actions were being made and estimated about 4 weeks. I had them in about 2 1/2. I'm sure they had a pretty good stock before the sale. Also sure at those prices they didn't have enough. I bought another Arch and I don't need it.
Want sometimes supercedes need.Need...
That is not a word I'd ever use with acquiring firearms!
Want sometimes Archimedes need…
I was just on the ARC website and they didn’t have the BARLOC on there? They had parts, but not the BARLOC itself??? Seems odd.
You don't want a BARLOC.
2 to 3 weeks for nuke...Perfect while I'm looking for some parts 
Testing your Jedi mind skills?
It's not a great system, its prone to POI shifts.
Why do you want a barloc system?
I've had one on my Nucleus Gen 1 for a couple years now, never had a single issue using the Barloc.
I ran my 1st installed 6-24sh4 in a PRS match this past weekend. It's jam up and jelly tight.
Mine has worked flawlessly with Savage prefit barrels, only issue I ever had was a 30” heavy Palma barrel that had the shoulder cut too far forward so that by the time I got the barrel tight enough to stop shifting it would only chamber some cartridges sized well under a go gauge.
However the same 30” heavy Palma barrel in a Savage prefit had zero issues in the several years I’ve been using it.
I like to express my gratitude to all of you who have purchased our products. Thank you for your business. As I have said before, your business is what keeps American Rifle Company alive and well. We will do our best to fulfill your orders and to continuously improve the service that we provide. We have a long way to go but things seem to be trending in the right direction. Thanks again.

@karagias I bought a M7 and a mount during the sale and I must say the service was phenomenal. Bella was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and super easy to work with. Looking forward to getting my stuff!!!! Keep it up!!!!!
Ted,
Thanks for the products and the passion that is so evident in the videos I’ve watched. Could you comment about the BARLOC and why there are parts available on your website, but there aren’t Barloc systems avialable- or am I mistaken?
I ordered one with the code “M4-W-1063-20”, but when I google that there are no hits, except for MileHigh?
Thanks,
I tried to get an order in for a Xylo buy it wouldn’t let me do separate billing and delivery addresses. Maybe next year! Grats on the success of the sale.
“Since we learned about the zero shift, we suspended sales of the Barloc but people are still ordering the Barloc spare parts individually to assemble the whole. People want what they want and they have their reasons for wanting it. For some it's fine. For others, it's not.”
Basically he doesn’t want to sell it but he will continue to support all of his products parts.
Since last week? It was on the website then. It was orderable then. So sometime this weekend they stopped selling them? After their largest sale of the year…
No, I haven’t seen them for sale beyond parts for a couple years since at least that linked post.
It was available last week. Ask me how I know. Unless there’s some counterfeit ARC site out there that I ordered from.
Ordered a complete rig (rifle) on a Mausingfield action in 6mm Creedmoor, hope to get it in my grubby hands in a couple of weeks. I was debating between the Archimedes and the Mausingfield. I know that I would likely be better served with the Archimedes. But I've been drooling over this Masuingfield action since it was first released. Worse comes to worse I'll build a hunting rig with this action and order an Archimedes the next time around and install in it's place.

I mean your dilemma is kind like a bought a brand new Ferrari but kinda wanted the lambo. If I don’t like the Ferrari I’ll just drive it on weekends and order up the lambo! I think your going to love the Ferrari but you can always buy the lambo also 
lol. Your going to love your new arc! Congratulations.
lol. Your going to love your new arc! Congratulations.Thank you ARC! I purchased a complete nucleus rifle a few weeks before the sale was announced. It hadn't shipped yet so I called last Friday and Bella was great. Answer all the questions I had and let me cancel my nucleus and get a mausingfield. It's my first custom action/rifle. Super excited.
Ha! That is awesome
I do love my Mausingfields! My first custom was a Mausingfield as well. You will be more than satisfied!
Well they already had all my other parts for the rifle set aside since it was already ordered before and I was just changing the action. I was told 2 to 3 weeks. I believe the lead times for rifles is in the 6 to 8 weeks time frame according to there website.
I'm hoping that I'm in the 2 week schedule, since the action I ordered was instock at the time I placed my order.
I guess we'll see here shortly.
Bella told me 2 weeks. I believe that is 2 weeks to ship date then you have delivery time.
My non rifle order on the morning of 11/26 has not yet shipped. Ordered Xylo and Xylo accessories.
I believe the delay for the first set of customer orders for stocks and complete rifles is due to running out of stocks.
I think ARC is waiting for the stocks they sent out for powder coating to return to resume shipping.
It's entirely dependent on one thing; How deep was the chamber cut in the SHOULDERED barrel?
With Savage style barrels where you adjust headspace, you can get the Barloc tight enough to never suffer from POI shift issues.
The problem came about when barrels made it out into the world with a relationship between the head space and shoulder (chamber cut a little shallow) that forced you to use up the "range of motion" of the barloc when tightening it, and left less force to be applied between the action and barrel shoulder. Basically you'd bottom out the screw, completely tighten the barloc, and just barely create pressure between the barrel and receiver. Those were the instances that had POI shift.
With the proper tension, I tested the system and found no difference vs. solid shouldered barrels. Loosey goosey, lots of POI problems.
Just received tracking for my Archimedes long actions, ordered Nov 26. If you haven't sent in your FFL info, remember to do so.
Got my archimedes sa shipping email
