Impact/Xylo fitment issue

[Jeremy45]

Hello,

Has anyone put an Impact in a Xylo?
I saw on the ARC website that the Xylo is relieved for trigger hangers but when I try and drop an Impact in, the trigger hanger doesn't clear. Is the Impact hanger unusually large compared to other trigger hangers?

Not excited to start milling on a $1300 chassis but don't want to order something else and run into the same issue.

Thanks,
Jeremy

Can you tell where its hitting?

try dropping the action in chassis with just the hangar and no trigger.

It looks like the hanger is wider than the groove that is milled in the chassis for a hanger. You get marks on the sides of the "V" going down toward the hanger slot.

I will pull the trigger and try, just to see, but it definitely appears to be the hanger itself. It will rock back and forth with the pivot point being the front of the hanger.

Looks like arc would have measured one of the most popular actions being sold and made machining for it.

I had no problems with my impact in xylo. Fit perfect

 

[Jeremy45]

Here it is sans trigger, still no joy.

You can see where the hanger hits.

I've got a message into them. I didn't ask before I purchased it so it's on me if it doesn't work. I had seen @Patriots1884 impact in that chassis and just assumed I was good.

Aics and ax aics need a little milling in that same spot, for impacts

Sucks it does not fit, but looks like it won't take much to get it right. The xylo will be worth it though!!!

 

[Patriots1884]

Yeah that would be quite frustrating, I'm gonna take mine apart tomorrow and see how it differs. I'll be anxious to hear what they tell you.

I'll update when I get an answer.

I'd be curious to see the inside of yours as well.

Just tried to put my impact with hanger and no trigger into the xylo chassis. Does not drop in. Seems like the front hanger screw is hitting right behind the mag well but in front of the trigger area if that makes sense.
Maybe if they had a lower profile screw head it would drop in?
Having similar issues with the impact and the X ray but I knew that before I started.
Anyone have any ideas on lower profile screw heads?

 

[6brshooter]

Take front screw off of hanger and try that. Aics have the same problem.

You think you can run it with just the rear hanger screw?

 

[6brshooter]

No, but you can determine a little more about what is hitting, hanger or just screw head.

It definitely hurt my feelings milling on my aiax chassis’s to fit an Impact. But its worth it 100%. It doesn’t take much either.

 

[6brshooter]

Takes longer to set up chassis on mill than it does to use the 3/16" end mill to make clearance cut.

 

[6brshooter]

You should see what an ax chassis looks like thats been milled for a flat bottom double lig badger action, lol.

 

[Krob95]

When I say mill I mean dremel. The ultimate poor mans mill I can only imagine how much of a pain it is to mill out for a badger!

Mine actually hits the hanger. It would be awesome if you only had to clearance for the screw.

Just to close the loop on this thread. The first revision of the chassis was not cleared for a hanger. Current revision is, which explains the discrepancy. Arc said they would be happy to fix it I I want them to.
