American Rifle Company Black Friday and Cyber Week Sale

I was thinking it was just a .100" spacer used with the stock Nuke lug. Without pulling my Nuke down I'm thinking it's .187" thick like a factory M700, so maybe a 287" thick lug? One piece would be much better than two IMO. I would try that. Does anyone sell these lugs?

Mine mics out at .1850-.1852 so that's what the print reflects. If you make this print exactly you can't use the wedge lock on a XYLO, but if you have it made with a 1.25" boss forward of the original lug part instead of 1.35 you'd be set.

Pard grabbed a Nucleus on Friday.
I’ve got an Origin and he’s always gotta be different.
Looking forward to finger banging it, as I’ve never fondled any of the ARC models.
 
Any chance if I pick up an Archimedes that you will give a discount on a creedmoor barrel to go with it and install before shipping? Debating your criterion barrel or a PVA rock creek prefit
If you buy a barrel they will install it for you. I think they would have called out any barrel discounts in their ad so I wouldn't be surprised if they say no.

You could always just get the Archimedes rifle...

I think you are misremembering your Orgin recoil lug dimensions.

we're talking about this
 
now im trying to figure out how to run an Origin or TL3 barrel on my Mausingfield

i guess it would just be a TL3 barrel with the .100" spacer ring

or an origin barrel with a .200" ring

if im reading the prints correctly

TL3 S/A Barrel, 1 ring

TL3 L/A/Origin, 2 rings!

I'm kidding. I'd have a .200" ring made if you want to do the latter.

So if you took a tl3 long action barrel and added the spacer ring from pva it should headspace right on a long action nucleus gen 2
You'd still be .100" short. The TL3 S/A barrel tennon is .100" longer than ALL of the ARC actions, long or short. The TL3 long actions have a .100" longer tennon than S/A, and .200" longer than the ARC actions. TL3 has a difference long and short, ARC doesn't.
 
To clear things up, if I have an Archimedes action and wanted to use a bighorn/zermatt shouldered prefit barrel, I would need to get a short action TL3 barrel and one of the PVA origin to TL3 spacers, and it would then work perfectly correct?

I‘m confused on this. The Hunts Long Range Orgin to TL3 lug is .150” so I would think the PVA Orgin to TL3 spacer would have to be the same? We want .100” spacers to fit a TL3 SA barrel on an ARC Nucleus or Archimedes right? Edit: Yes it would work because the PVA spacer is .100" thick.

It's not about lug thickness. It's bolt face to recoil lug face (or receiver face in the Archimedes and MF). If you were to put a depth mic on the face of a TL-3 and measure to the bolt face, it would be .100" longer than if you put a depth mic on the face of an ARC action and measured to the bolt face, thus the necessity for a .100" spacer ring.

the Origin's factory recoil lug is .250" so the HLR lug reducing to .150" thickness would be a difference of .100"

I got it now. I was focused on the HLR lug and not the spacer. Thanks Ledzep and j741!

proof research prefits on ARC actions. that's a win to me
They would probably start offering them, if enough of us pestered the shit out of them long enough. I know that Caylen W. has been after them for a while to offer them. We should probably start an email campaign to get this done.
 
I bought an Archimedes and a Nuke 2.0 to join a couple more nukes that I have. 1st Archimedes and absolutely love it so much I ordered another on the Black Friday deal. Going to replace my original nuke with it. I have talked to them several times over the years both at the Shot show and via phone, great people. I can't emphasis that enough.
 
Mausingfield/Xylo on the way. Dream rifle… (6.5 Creedmoor).

No to figure out the scope… was going to put a s&b 3-20 or NF 7-35 on it but I’m starting to think I should sell the 7-35 and do some shuffling.

I looked on the LRI website and didn’t see any prefit barrels. Maybe I missed it?
