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

    Fluted Bolts Sorry about my recent absence. I've been busy finalizing design so that we can get these into the wild sooner than later. I'll try to get back here again in the coming days to answer more questions, especially those regarding magazines. But for now, I want to focus on fluted...

    People will make prefits for these and sell them at prices of simialar prefits. The cone doesn;t add cost to the barrel. CNC latrhes don;t care if they got this way or that way. They do as they're told. If we sell lots of actions, people will make barrels for them. And they'll make barrels...

    We assumed people would just call it the Coup. Hey man, if it wasn't for the French, we'd still be subjects of the Crown, like the Canadians. And what about French fries? Who doesn't like French fries?

    It has changed several times during development. Its current name has nothing to do with recent events. We had concerns that the previous name, Coup d'etat (now trademarked) might have attracted some unwanted attention. I really liked Coup d'etat. Ted

    Forward motion is constrained by both the forward set screw and the aft socket head cap screw. Pins can't wear out the receiver because they don't move with respect to it unless you're in the process of making an adjustment. You'll never make enough adjustments to wear out a receiver or the...

    Why don't you like the name? If it rubs you the wrong way, I'd like to know why. Always appreciate shared thoughts. Ted

    Not sure yet. A hunting version is planned and Oberndorf/BDL might be possible, especially with magnums. That's a discussion for the future. Ted

    Pre-orders Initially, we were going to get some actions on the shelf before taking orders but because many of you have requested pre-ordering, we’re now considering this. If we do it, we’re going to take full payment rather than just a deposit because it’s easier for us to do so. Easy is...

    Barrels for the Coup De Grâce We will be working with barrel manufacturers to make pre-fits available. I know many of you really like Proof and for good reasons. Consequently, they are a large blip on our radar. We will also reach out to others, all of which are well known and highly regarded...

    Good thing a picture tells a thousand words. My previous post was full of typos. Sorry... Ted

    I'll try to get back here later today and answer some more questions but I just want to address the trigger hanger since people have asked about it. The trigger hanger provides for 1.6mm of adjustment along the bore axis to accommodate various R700 triggers having slight variations in the...

    I think we have enough parts to support it. Ted

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

    As I stated earlier, cases are surprisingly strong but I also acknowledge that case head separation do happen but almost never with new brass unless the barrel work is really really bad or the case is defective in a big way. We have run the Coup De Grâce with 223 from and Accurate mag. Seems...

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

    I welcome criticism, in fact I want it because it drives design, but please keep it accurate. No Nucleus was ever prone to binding. It is true that there was lots of clearance between the bolt and the receiver, but that clearance never caused binding and it was there by design to tolerate...

    I think so. See pic below. But again, cone breeches are a good thing and not hard to get. Ted

    We'll reach out to Proof soon. The more people stocking pre-fits, the better. It's great to be living through the heyday of gun making on earth. It's never been this good for gun buyers, ever. People all over the world love guns.

    The general purpose bolt action that works with everything is a tricky if not impossible problem. I wish someone would order many thousands of these in one caliber. So much easier... Think 8x57 k98 Mausers made in the millions. Optimized! Ted
