Mine mics out at .1850-.1852 so that's what the print reflects. If you make this print exactly you can't use the wedge lock on a XYLO, but if you have it made with a 1.25" boss forward of the original lug part instead of 1.35 you'd be set.

Any chance if I pick up an Archimedes that you will give a discount on a creedmoor barrel to go with it and install before shipping? Debating your criterion barrel or a PVA rock creek prefit
If you buy a barrel they will install it for you. I think they would have called out any barrel discounts in their ad so I wouldn't be surprised if they say no.
You could always just get the Archimedes rifle...
Arch ordered to join its Nuke 2.0 bro. Thanks for the great deal.
The sales are great but I just wanted to say thanks to everyone at ARC for the great service as well. You guys have gone above and beyond on both orders I've had with you. @karagias
I think you are misremembering your Orgin recoil lug dimensions.

HLR Origin 0.150 Thick Recoil lug | Hunt's Long Range
Here it is! Do you have a Big Horn TL3 and a Big Horn Origin? Do want to be able to swap the barrels between your actions? HLR has your answer! This precision ground 0.150" thick recoil lug will take the place of the 0.250" thick standard lug that comes with the Big Horn Origin.This
huntslongrange.com now im trying to figure out how to run an Origin or TL3 barrel on my Mausingfield
i guess it would just be a TL3 barrel with the .100" spacer ring
or an origin barrel with a .200" ring
if im reading the prints correctly

we're talking about this
Yeah, my bad. I was looking at thickness instead of thickness difference.
we're talking about this
TL3 S/A Barrel, 1 ring
TL3 L/A/Origin, 2 rings!
I'm kidding. I'd have a .200" ring made if you want to do the latter.
proof research prefits on ARC actions. that's a win to me
Would not hurt my feelings at all to see Proof start making ARC prefits, but for now the rings work.
So if you took a tl3 long action barrel and added the spacer ring from pva it should headspace right on a long action nucleus gen 2
You'd still be .100" short. The TL3 S/A barrel tennon is .100" longer than ALL of the ARC actions, long or short. The TL3 long actions have a .100" longer tennon than S/A, and .200" longer than the ARC actions. TL3 has a difference long and short, ARC doesn't.
To clear things up, if I have an Archimedes action and wanted to use a bighorn/zermatt shouldered prefit barrel, I would need to get a short action TL3 barrel and one of the PVA origin to TL3 spacers, and it would then work perfectly correct?
I‘m confused on this. The Hunts Long Range Orgin to TL3 lug is .150” so I would think the PVA Orgin to TL3 spacer would have to be the same? We want .100” spacers to fit a TL3 SA barrel on an ARC Nucleus or Archimedes right? Edit: Yes it would work because the PVA spacer is .100" thick.

It's not about lug thickness. It's bolt face to recoil lug face (or receiver face in the Archimedes and MF). If you were to put a depth mic on the face of a TL-3 and measure to the bolt face, it would be .100" longer than if you put a depth mic on the face of an ARC action and measured to the bolt face, thus the necessity for a .100" spacer ring.
the Origin's factory recoil lug is .250" so the HLR lug reducing to .150" thickness would be a difference of .100"
With Brownell's current 13% off and their 8% ActiveJunky rebate, you can get a Proof TL3 SA 6.5PRC barrel for about $705 (+tax). if that qualifies as a good deal to you
I got it now. I was focused on the HLR lug and not the spacer. Thanks Ledzep and j741!
They would probably start offering them, if enough of us pestered the shit out of them long enough. I know that Caylen W. has been after them for a while to offer them. We should probably start an email campaign to get this done.
Is there anything better than an ARC Nucleus at $750 
WOAH
WOAH
I bought an Archimedes and a Nuke 2.0 to join a couple more nukes that I have. 1st Archimedes and absolutely love it so much I ordered another on the Black Friday deal. Going to replace my original nuke with it. I have talked to them several times over the years both at the Shot show and via phone, great people. I can't emphasis that enough.
Looking to build a new rifle - most likely a PRS style build.
Archimedes or Mausingfield?

For a lt weight hunting build for my dad that's never shot anything but a factory 700 and a factory 788....he's not going to notice or appreciate the difference.
Yeah, that's an upgrade for sure. Good news is they don't make any bad ones.
Couldn’t resist pull of this tractor beam sale. Lefty Nuke ordered - carbon barrel options research begins. The spacer ring thang has my attention, still going to email Proof to lobby for ARC prefits though…
Got an Arch, wrench and a BARLOC on the way. Went with the nut BARLOC. Starting to question that; not the action.
Ordered the Archimedes for a 7 Saum build. I just wish they could complete the transfer so I could drive down and pick it up in store!!
short or long action ?
So LRI has shouldered barrels. Is there a list of companies that make shouldered and 1-1/16x20 threaded barrels suitable for the ARC BARLOC set-ups?
I looked on the LRI website and didn’t see any prefit barrels. Maybe I missed it?

Thanks. I missed it, must have been speed skimming.
