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

    Can you or anyone else confirm this? This is from the ARC website on compatibility: Long actions are intended for use with AICS magazines, up to CIP/3.850" length My understanding is an AICS magazine will fit the Hawkins Hunter bottom metal. My problem is the Hawkins Hunter bottom metal...

    Thank you. Short or long action? I'm trying to fit a long action. Short or long action?

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

    Has anyone found bottom metal which will work with the CDG long action and a Manners stock? Everything I see in this thread seems to be in chassis which come with their own bottom metal. So far I have tried to make Hawkins Hunter and bdl bottom metal work, both unsuccessfully. My last hope is...

    Giraud problem

    Are you twisting the case during the cutting process?

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

    That's what I was afraid of. This is sounding more and more like a work in progress. I have heard reports that ARC is willing to correct these issues including machining it to run with Hunter magazines. 3.7 is not an ideal COAL for a long action.

    Building perfect brass sorting/processing/reloading space

    AFFF for liquid fires. Not a good choice here.

    Building perfect brass sorting/processing/reloading space

    I don't see fire extinguishers. You might consider halon.

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

    Has anyone successfully run DBM bottom metal with the long-action CDG in a Manners stock? I tried and failed with Hawkins Hunter bottom metal and would like confirmation their or someone else's M5 DBM bottom metal with a CIP length AICS magazine will work in a Manner stock. Thank you for...

    ARC hunting rifle builds

    Helpful. Thank you. The action does drop into the LRH but the front and rear action screws bind the rifle bolt. The screws will need to be shortened, or the pillars will need to be a bit taller for this to work. I was hoping someone had found the solution here. Hawkins claims there is a...

    ARC hunting rifle builds

    I have not succeeded in fitting the Coup de Grace to a hunting rifle. The action is not compatible with bdl bottom metal for a start. The action does not drop into the LRH stock as the Mausingfield and Archimedes actions do. It looks to me as if the larger bolt is going to require that the...

    MDT Customer Service

    The firearms industry seems blessed with some of the very best customer service (Dillon) and cursed with some of the worst (you know who they are). This is a shoutout to MDT. Someone always answers the phone and is always knowledgeable and helpful. This past week, they outdid themselves. I...

    Win Tactical AI Barrel

    They were when I bought mine. No personal knowledge about now? Sounds like they still are.

    Win Tactical AI Barrel

    They were the standard barrel on AI rifles for many years. Mine are all tack drivers.

    Which action in 2024?

    The TL3 and the Origin are at different price points. If you are happy with the lack of options for the Origin, that's a great choice. The others at the lower price point I have used are the American Rifle Company's Coup de Gras and the Defiance Classic. The Defiance Classic is a good choice...

    Accuracy International Arctic Warfare

    Yup. That's where mine came from.

    Accuracy International Arctic Warfare

    That's a good rationale. This one came from the English guy in Texas who was the importer for AI for awhile. Late 90's/early 2000's I'm guessing. The fast twist barrel is what appealed to me.

    Accuracy International Arctic Warfare

    I have an AIAW with a .243 fast twist original barrel, fixed stock with a butt spike. Not sure why that variant was produced.

    Detachable Mag vs Internal: Pros & Cons?

    I agree with this. My hunting rifles are all bdl. Range rifles are dbm. Not mentioned yet is how uncomfortable it is carrying a rifle with the magazine sticking out the bottom when it's in your hands. The perfect compromise for hunting may be the Hawkins Hunter bottom metal with flush...

    New Chassis- Groups opened up

    Magnum caliber? Recoil will exploit every weakness in form particularly with a new interface between you and the rifle. Replace the bipod with a front bag.

    AMP really worth the extra $$$$$$

    I made the decision to buy AMP based on setup time and safety. Doing batches of 50 for close to a dozen different calibers made anything but an AMP a non-starter. Fooling with an open flame in the basement of my home didn’t seem like a very smart idea. For me, it was money well spent.
