The Chad muzzle brake or something else

I ended up buying a new bigger brake and honestly the area 419 brake really holds its own and the ease of leveling is unmatched don't think I will go away from them. I will prolly give the other brake another chance later on but right now area 419 seems to be amazing I guess I shouldn't try to fix something that isn't broken haha
IIRC some people were having issues with them coming loose so just keep an eye on that.

SOLD WTT: Arc CDG SA w/ 223,308, and mag bf or Origin SA (308) for 22lr

I’ve got an ARC CDG action that I’m looking to trade for either a 22lr barreled action or rifle. Something like a b14r, cz455/457, vudoo, rimx etc. Cash can be added on my end if needed.

Arc CDG has gen one trigger hangar that has been clearanced on a mill for a B&A trigger.

Origin is a SA RH with 308 bf. Also comes with HLR Lug. Photos attached here.

ARC CDG pics in below comment - I do have a follow up call with ARC today to see if any actions need to be taken. I will not make a deal prior to this being fully resolved

New to bolt gun thread, question about AI based on use case

What percentage of hunting vs prone style target shooting are you going to do? Are you comfortable handling a 15ish pound rifle? I only ask because AI's are hard to make "light". I know that term is subject to varying opinions, but it's a real consideration for some. If you don't like lugging heavy shit around I'd go Zeus with whatever flavor cf barrel you want in a nice stock and call it a day.

I have a couple of Centurians, Foundation now some lighter versions for hunters, the Centurian is a good choice, My Zues is in a Samson (way heavy). AI rifles do retain a huge amount of value, but the PX is full of Custom rifle parts as well as complete rifles that are about 70 percent of new. the advantage of the AI is you have proven system that is bombproof, I haven't had any issue with my customs.

What do you plan on doing with the rifle? Just shoot prone out to distance? Get the AI for all the reasons @MK20 listed above.

I don't now what part shortages people are talking about. Unless you are a left hand user and need the left handed bolts. Having 2 different AI platforms, I have never found finding parts was that much of a challenge. I got all new plastic on my MC, 3 bolts, handguards, and multiple barrels for it. The AW has never needed any parts and I'm over 10k rounds through the action and on it's 4th barrel. There isn't that many part for the whole rifle that ever needs to be replaced. Yeah, it's not going to be 700 parts commonality, but I wouldn't say finding parts is that hard.

If the OP wants to check out some AI rifles, there are quite a few of use in the Houston area and we have most if not all the AI flavors.... cept for the 50.
