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

    Thanks for that. Conical breeches are definitely awesome for smooth feeding but not always necessary if the bullet tip finds the hole. The Coup has a 6 o'clock lug that effectively strips the cartridge from the mag. That lug needs to pass through a 6 o'clock slot in the receiver. The bullet...

    I think the Xylo is the best chassis no one knows about, but that belongs on a different thread. Back to the Coup... Ted

    What's wrong with the bolt ano? I like it. Ted

    Definitely a multifaceted problem. Ted

    Couldn't get a flexure to cooperate with the bolt lug. Coup's extractor design is similar to that in the Sako TRG. Wouldn't surprise me if there are other predecessors as well. Ted

    No, extractor behavior is different than that of the Mausingfield. Yes, the Coup is kind of like an Archimedes 2.0.

    Note sure. Needs to be discussed internally. Ted

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

    Coup is more tolerant of case head separations. Extraction ability is comparable as the Archimedes because both use pivoting handles and must have extractors that are stronger than the case rims. Your ability to extract using either action is limited by the strength of the case rim, not the...

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

    Archimedes for sure. No point in making both the Coup and the Archimedes, not for now anyway. But the Archimedes is still a great action. That said, as the company grows and hopefully becomes better managed, maybe the Arch is reserected. Please like variety and I'm not one to tell their...

    Blast from the past. This was my first action design. I never put it into production. Ted

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

    It's said, actually well documented, WDM Bell shoot over 1000 elephants with a 7x57 Mauser. I wouldn't shoot and elephant. I love them, but I also get it. Ted

    I think doing so would be smart. Ted

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

    Maybe we should but more testing first. If we do it, maybe we include a "you waive your right to bitch about deliver" clause. Joking of course. We're working hard to put the piece in place to keep these in stock. Makino a61nx just landed and Tsugami swiss is inbound. More turning centers to...

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

    Yes. The Coup De Grâce is kinda like Archimedes 2.0. Nope. Totally different receiver. Hard to say and time. I like the fact that the Nuc and The Arch used flexures as extractor but they are not as robust as the Coup De Grâce in regards to surviving case head separations. The Coup uses an...

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

    I enjoy the fact that the Nucleus and the Archimedes could always run in the shit. Who do you think knew more about designing robust actions? Mauser with experience of countless 20th century hell-on-earth conflicts or ... Ted
