I do know more than one person with a Bridgeport in their garage, but they produce automotive racing products as a main source of revenue…True. I assumed he didn't mean a bridgeport in everyone's garage.
Proof of life from my FFL.
I went a little counter-culture with my options but I dig the look.
Hi Troop! Would you mind reading post #3,289 and seeing if you can provide the dimensions for us? May want to include the protruded height of the front set screw for us too, if you don't mind.
Thanks in advance for your time and help!!
You did mix it up a little bit, no fluting, round knob and all black. But you still have that cool tail fin, reminds me of an art deco design.
oh my, thats pretty. I went with "The BALL" for my receiver too. Looks so good!
The ball looks awesome! Hopefully they sell it as an accessory.
I really should’ve had mine marked that way also!
Has anyone received PVA barrels From the pre-sale? Probably too early but figured I’d ask lol.
At least one is pictured in the last few pages of this thread.
Apologies if this has been asked/answered already, but in terms of the conical breech for the CDG, does that only matter for the smaller caliber boltheads (308 and under if I understand right) if you are running AW mags? So if you are going to run AICS, or another center feed mag, could you use the a traditional flat breech profile? Related question, can I use my existing Nucleus barrels on a CDG (308 and smaller caliber)?
And to respond to your last question, No. A nucleus barrel will not work in the CDG.
I hear ya here. And I understand the geometry, but has anyone tried one yet?
I’m sure the first we’ll hear about it will be on the gootube
I don’t know, but I do know that Ted answered this question early on in this very thread.
Not what ARC told me. They told me a Nucleus or Archimedes prefit will fit the CDG, but a CDG with conical breech will not fit a Nuc or Archimedes.
Okay. Then I guess it remains to be seen once someone actually tries it. I have no pre determined opinion on it other than what I recall seeing posted here.
I could be wrong but I thought somewhere Ted mentioned that it would screw on to a CDG but won’t headspace correctly. Or maybe I’m remembering wrong and he said it would fit but without the comical breech it won’t function and feed…not going to sort through 3000 posts though to find it lol
That was the impression they gave me. As long as it’s a magnum it should be fine as they don’t have to have the conical breech to feed.
Any more of the actions being shipped?
Haven’t had time to pick it up yet but I was sent this pic. I don’t have any other parts for the build anyway.
I wasn’t trying to start a crap storm. I think you’re correct, that if you want it to feed well it needs to be a conical breech. I’m just curious how it actually feeds with a flat face.
Ultimately it would be cartridge/bullet dependent. With long bullets the meplats would contact the breech face at a very shallow angle, so the cartridge would likely stop dead.
Because of the 6 o'clock lug cutout and no real feed ramp directly in front of the magazine, smaller diameter cartridges may ride low in that lug cutout once they exit the magazine and present the tip of the bullet below the chamber and then the bullet tip will hit the flat breech face stopping the bolt, especially if you're using a single stack AICS magazine. The conical breech gives the bullet tip a ramp to find the chamber even if it hits a bit lower than the chamber.
A lot is going to depend on case diameter, bullet weight used and CG/OAL of the cartridge, and magazine follower and feedlip geometry. There's a chance your particular caliber/bullet/OAL/magazine combo may let the bullet tips find the chamber even if you used an existing flat breech barrel taken from an existing Nucleus/Archimedes build, but ARC has said the conical breech is pretty much mandatory for the smaller diameter .223 sized cases that use the .378 bolt face and the conical breech is highly recommended for .308 diameter cases that use the .473 diameter bolt face. The magnum calibers can typically get away without the conical breech as the chamber diameter in the barrel is so large it's very easy for the bullet to guide itself into the larger diameter chamber even without the conical cut.
In regards to the conical breech and AW mags…. Took mine out Sunday and it feeds like butter from AW. Might do the trick mentioned above here and chamfer the back of the follower because the follower stopping the bolt has me all thrown off… too used to AICS I guess
I got shipping notification yesterday...for the action wrench. It can't be much longer till my action ships.
Thanks. That makes it pretty clear.
For those who have the CDG in hand how high does the integral rail sit? Currently really considering going for one but I am weird in my tastes and prefer to have barrel mounted iron sights specifically NECGs, does the rail sit too high for that to be feasible or could I get away with it running a heavier contoured barrel?
It never even crossed my mind that they would supply the round knob in red. Interesting change up.
Was that even an option to get the ball in red? looks great.
Could you share a pic of the mod on aw follower?
I was under the impression that integral rails actually sit lower in higher than separate rails systems.
What trigger was tested for pin fall? TT? I plan to run a BnA and from my experience in a handful of actions, they will add 0.010-0.015 of pin fall. Granted with the adjustment in the hanger, it's all tunable.
It was right there on the order form. Pick your bolt knob and then do you want trigger hanger and knob in red or not.
Man, I do have all the parts, just tell them ill come pick it up.

When mine gets here you can test both the action and that chassis.
Thank you for sharing. Interesting, I considered positively that lock on empty mag. Haven't got the chance to test it yet, together with the chance of loading a mag from the window...
