Tried to order one last night, but it never would go to the review page to finish the order. At least I hope that didn't work, cause if it did I bought several of them cause I tried several times.
So you should be pretty well set for awhile ???

Especially since I just said the hell with it after fooling with it for a while and put down a deposit on a Bighorn origin.So you should be pretty well set for awhile ???

This will be my first custom build, so i'm sure these actions are better than anything I own at the moment. I leaned towards the ARC due to them being in stock, but I doubt my barrel will be in any time soon, so it really doesn't matter. If I did end up ordering 3 or 4, I guess I'll have a few projects on my hands. I'll be eating ramen noodles for a few weeks though LOL I didn't get an email confirmation from them or anything, so I would like to believe i'm good.Can't go wrong there either.
I have two of the Atlas Tac actions and have been wanting to add either a Bighorn or an ARC for a while now.
So many great choices out there right now it's hard to keep up with them all.
You guys building rifles with ARC actions should start a new TV series. You could call it Kings Of Pain II.
Gen 2 it is then!Nucleus 1.1's are gone. Area 419 may have one left in .223 bolt face for $850, but it does not specify 1.1 (assuming it is based on $).
Excited to hear it! I am putting together my first custom rifle centered around a Nucleus Long Action that I ordered a few weeks back. It looks a lot like my Sako 85 action (CRF, three lug, mechanical ejector) but with a ton of aftermarket parts and some awesome improvements (Savage small shank receiver, interchangeable bolt face, +MOA picatinny rail, and all fitting into a Rem 700 footprint).Nope. I think we'll be shipping within the next couple of weeks. We've have over 200 receivers that will go out to salt bath nitride within the next day or two. After that, inventory will be good to go. Left handed receivers are very close behind. Archimedes is in stock.

I have shipping tracking info for my Nucleus Gen 2 receiver. This will be my first build using a custom receiver. I initially had a deposit on a Gen 1 in late 2019, but decided to not do a Gen 1.1 when offered by ARC and instead wait for the Gen 2. I am very exited to get this all together.
Receiver will be matched up with MDT ACC, Bartlein pre-fit 6.5CM from Southern Precision, Bix'n Andy tactical 2 stage and Athlon Ares ETR (just waiting on the receiver). While this build is not together yet, I am already thinking about another barrel for it in a different caliber (looking at a number of 6mm and .25 cartridges). I also bought an extra bolt head to maybe play with .223 as well.
This gun will match up with my MDT ACC/CZ455 trainer.
While that capability is not unique to ARC receivers, I do plan to do the same as you. I could source a shouldered pre-fit barrel and just spun the barrel on, but like the idea of setting it all up myself. I ordered a receiver wrench along with the Nucleus, bought the SAC barrel vice setup awhile back and have go/no-go gauges, so I think I am prepared for current or future contingencies at this point! I feel very confident I can setup the headspace correctly (while not exactly the same, I have done this before on my CZ455 rimfire with Lilja barrel). I also have new brass, all ready for load development. I am just minus my scope rings as I wanted to measure up everything before ordering rings.Part of the appeal of the action is being able to tinker with it yourself with a vise, go/no-go gauges.

keep an eye on the px is about the only option.Is it still possible to find any Gen 1.1s?
Mr. Kagarias, I was watching a video you were showing the Archimedes.
You mentioned that people were having trouble with the bolt release and that you may change it. Is going to be changed to the current Mausingfield design or perhaps something entirely different?
If I may ask another question, is it possible to order a Archimedes with the original Nucleus bolt knob?
David.
Already in possession of my new short action Archimedes fitted with the original knob. Guess I’ll just have to order a knob and try it out. I liked the looks of the original on my Nucleus and vanity won out. Couldn’t wait for my Proof Research carbon barrel so I cannibalized another rifle for now.Not sure about the bolt stop. Nucleus 2.0 short actions have a new Mausingfield 2.0 style bolt stop. Nuc 2.0 longs have the original. The original is arguably the most robust bolt stop because moving it into the release position is more difficult. That said, the Mausingfield 2.0 and Nucleus 2.0 bolt stops are pretty damn robust as well. Neither of them load the pivot pin when impacted by the rearward moving bolt.
And yes, it is certainly possible to order the Archimedes with any of our available bolt knobs but I highly recommend you stick with the standard offering because I think it is our best knob.

It’s like the mausingfield bolt release now.Saw a Nucleus 2.0 on the forum in Nuc build thread, and it looks as the bolt stop/release is a completely different design now.
There are a handful of differences between the 1.0, 1.1 and 2.0. See Ted's July 4th post just a few posts above yours. He talks about the 2.0 bolt stop/release specifically. I believe in general the revisions are to move towards parts commonality between different receivers (which is a good thing). I have a Gen 2 Nuc and love it.Saw a Nucleus 2.0 on the forum in Nuc build thread, and it looks as the bolt stop/release is a completely different design now.
