Will the $899 price rollout on your site be a deposit then final payment or is that going to be full payment too?
Well if you need someone to help you test, I'm about 5-miles away from your machine shop.
Its nice its going on sale at a low cost but because of the need for a custom barrel that has to now be chambered by a gunsmith its negating the cost saving by not going with savage prefits that are cheap and everyone has them in any caliber you want to shoot. Not to mention waiting for a Smith to spin on a barrel for you (weeks/months)
As an owner of a Nuke I was hoping I could just upgrade, list my Nuke , spin on my savage barrel, torque it down in my ARC stock and go shooting...

I run both shoulder and barrel nuts I don't see any accuracy difference.
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.

That and the fact there is no pre-order yet.
Well done, Ted. It takes a lot of work to get to product launch and courage to drop a piece of bloody meat in the Hide Shark pool.
Take your time and do it right. I like the name. It has Panache. Reminds me of a baser time when Coup meant Counting Coup. When touching your enemy was the acme of skill, bravery, and insult.

Ha! Perfect name! Love it!!
Well yeah that too. “I” knew what I was talking about when I typed that. Lol
What type of stock/chassis is this? Absolutely gorgeous! Thanks
Someday, long after what people really want to buy is chugging along, and the money is flowing into your business like water, I, as a representative sample of one, would love something that I could use stripper clips with @karagias.
Think of it as "What Would Mauser Do" if he was alive in the 21st century.
Or "The Ghost of Mauser" flowing through your veins.

Were all the English names taken? I like you Ted and the products you make, I own a lot of them but if hipsters started naming gun parts this is what they’d be.
Gun guys don’t talk like that, no gun guy wants to say “coup de grace” or any other French term when they get asked the name of their action, they’re just going to say CDG to avoid it. Translating to “kill shot” would be much more fitting.

My range food : ham sammich & Grey Poupon would totally rock with this action 
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?
Haha. I thought the same thing about second part of your question
Funny you should mention that, I saw the first part of the name and proceeded to call it that for 5 minutes until I showed my brother and he told me I was pronouncing it wrong at which point I finished reading the name.
First time i heard some down home southern country boy talking about SD and ES i thought I had entered the Twilight Zone.
I mean, it'd be pretty surreal to be at a backwoods range and hear the good ol boys talking about the low SDs and ESs their coup de grace was throwing down with their reloads. All the while with that Staccato on their belt.
Coup de Ville?
Snoop de Ville?
Chadillac?
Pepé le Pew, Pew is still my favorite.
En Skonk de Pew.
Honn, honn, Fifi, you cannot run.
Tell me you're not saying that in Pepés voice?

Seriously? Please do us all a favor and read the thread. Or is it your intent to throw shade? Just curious.
For those that don’t take the time to read the thread before posting, the $899 introductory price is just that, a price during the short introductory period whereupon they will get a bunch sold and out into the market.
After that there will likely be an increase in price that reflects the costs to produce and provide an action of this quality. I expect, from what I read (here in this very thread) that it may still be less than some relatively equivalent competitor’s products.
This thread is about to get moved to the pit. Hurry up and send my long action.
I could really care less what they call it as long as it performs. Heck paint it pink and call it unicorn.
Ted's Thinking maybe I should of named this thread.
Coup De Grâce, New Action from American Rifle Company, $999 WOW!
That is not at all what I was asking. I know what the pre-sale price is and how it works.
Ted mentioned that if there was a SH group buy that payment would be expected to be made in full. Which made it sound like the pre-sale price of $899 that would be available directly from their website could be purchased either in-full or by paying a deposit to get the production process started and then the remaining $$ to be payed before shipment.
I'm fine with the name, it could have been called "Squibbles".
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.Its nice its going on sale at a low cost but because of the need for a custom barrel that has to now be chambered by a gunsmith its negating the cost saving by not going with savage prefits that are cheap and everyone has them in any caliber you want to shoot.

If we sell lots of actions, people will make barrels for them. And they'll make barrels for us that we will sell for this action. I don't know that we'll ever make barrels. Maybe someday but that space is competitive. Lead times are still long so there is still room for newcomers that know what their doing.
Ted
I’m getting on for sure.Glad I can check this thread for info from the Man himself.Unfortunately 6 of the 8 pages are Nancy and Karen struggling over if the name is too pretty or not pretty enough
DEFIANCE sounds pretty tough, buy one of those instead.
Great looking action !!!
Any idea what the normal price will be? $899 seems like a great deal and might have to justify getting one for myself, especially if it ends up being $1400 or something.
Yea, pass
What grip is that?
How are you getting $700 proof prefits? I want in
LHGT?
You have to watch for Stocky’s Stocks 20% off barrel sale which puts them at $704.
