Coup De Grâce, New Action from American Rifle Company, $899 WOW!
Maybe but they wouldn't work in this action or any other having a Rem700 footprint. Receiver belly diameter is to small for true double stack 0.532" cases. Ted- karagias

Coup De Grâce, New Action from American Rifle Company, $899 WOW!
Dustyplyr hit that nail on the head, and hit it hard. I hope I'm doing the right thing. The Coup De Grâce is a fat bolt similar to the AI and in feels a bit like the AI apart from not having to cock on close. The flutes do seem to tolerate lots of dirt. Current design has 0.2mm (0.008 in) of...- karagias

Coup De Grâce, New Action from American Rifle Company, $899 WOW!
Depends on the mag and caliber but we're recommending conical breeches. They're essential when using AICS mags. AIAW mags have worked with flat breech faces when running 6.5 CM and similar. Go with conical breeches. We'll work hard on getting barrel drawings on line and to barrel makers. I...- karagias

Coup De Grâce, New Action from American Rifle Company, $899 WOW!
I think so. It's a compact, hardened steel part driven by a ball and spring. The spring has a really high rate and undergoes very little motion as the extractor pivots over the case rim. A portion of the spring remains visible and that was done for easy disassembly/re-assembly, and...- karagias

You are correct. Positive feedback (self-reinforcing effect) ensures engagement with case rim. Nice observation. Ted- karagias

That dimension is 4.39mm (0.173in) in the Coup. Highly recommend max sear engagement for safety. Not sure why BnA uses multiple sear bars. Ted- karagias

I'm not sure but guessing yes. Current design of the LA mag wells accommodates AI type single stacks for .532 (300 PRC) and .588 (338 Norma) case heads. It's possible to cut a mag well for a true double stack up to .473 (308 Win) heads. Round belly of the R700 foot print does not accommodate...- karagias

Maybe, but the pic below should address your concern, which by the way is rather insightful. The case is a 308 Win, representative of many 0.473" diameter heads and you can clearly see that it is fully supported. You can also see that the extractor is in close proximity to the inner wall of...- karagias

Not in the first run but soon thereafter. I want to make sure part programs are well developed for short right handed actions before making longs and lefts. Longs are close. The programs are a lot of work but once done, they're very productive. Ted- karagias

Coup De Grâce, New Action from American Rifle Company, $899 WOW!
Yes. The handles have a circular cross section that is easily bent for sweeping it back. I should mention that it's easily bent before it's heat treated for strength. Maybe we should selectively heat treat the handle so that they're bendable outside of the machine shop. How about that? Yet...- karagias

Thanks for the kind words. I've always had reverence for companies, or more appropriately teams of smart people, that can offer amazing products at prices that reflect the vestiges of capitalism and the specialization of labor. As an example, pull your phone from your pocket and call someone...- karagias

As others have replied, the Coup can run either way. Elaborating, the pivoting handle does not make contact with the extraction cam machined into the back of the receiver. The fixed handle does. A spring and bushing is used to bias the pivoting handle forward giving it a convention feeling...- karagias

Sort of. Ideally, you'll want to run a conical breech although it has fed well with 6.5 CM and similar from an AIAW mag. AICS mags will certainly require a conical breech. We'll post a drawing of the breech on our website soon. Cutting the breech face is easy, even with a conventional lathe. Ted- karagias
