I ordered Black Friday in the morning.... still waitingNew Lead times posted yesterday by ARC..
Product Lead Time | American Rifle Company
www.americanrifle.com
Ordered it a month ago, but I'm 3 weeks into a 2 weeks ETA that was given to me by phone. Not in frustration mode yet, but I might be if it takes much longer. LOL!!
I traded emails with the folks at ARC and they took a deposit for the Archimedes. When the rifle is ready to ship I'll get an invoice for the remaining balance. With the 6-8 week lead times my goal was to get a spot in the que.I've waited for firearm related items, gunsmithing work and custom rifles in the past. I've waited over a year for some, but I never paid in full for anything I had to wait for.
This is the first time I've been asked to do so. We'll see how this turns out.
My item was instock when I ordered it, I also spoke with ARC a week after I placed the order. Was told 1-2 weeks.I knew going into the sale that it would take 6-8 weeks for my Archimedes action to be shipped. Some of you guy's expect miracles when small companies have huge sales.
Congrats!!!I ordered a SA Nuke on 12/3, it shipped 12/23, scheduled to be delivered to my FFL today (12/29).
Thank you for the generous BF sale, Ted & Co.!
It may seem that I'm worried about the wait or that I'm inpatient. I do clearly see how that could be perceived by my post.
I can wait, I was expecting to have a wait of as much as six months. But I was also expecting to only have a deposit tied up during the wait.
But when I was told it would be a 2 to 3 weeks I was more than happy to pay infull.
I'm not butt broke nor am I a wealthy man. I've spent $4200 on this project without the scope and there's nothing to show for 3/4 of that expenditure.
I have no issue waiting, honestly I don't. I just wish I didn't have to wait for an item that was paid in full. I would have felt much better with a deposit.
I'm not canceling my order, I'm going to wait just like the rest of the folks and I'm sure I'll be happy with my new rig.
But I won't promise that I won't go on a rant, if I don't hear something in the next week.
LOL!!
If it bothers you don't read it!
That’s likely why my 11/27 order hasn’t shipped, I have a nucleus SA and archimedes SA on the order, folks with nucleus have been getting theirs but I’m guessing they are waiting on the archimedes to ship my order as well. I haven’t bothered to ask since I’m not that worried about itFor anyone that's interested, I emailed them today to make sure they got my FFL's info, and when they replied they volunteered that they were just waiting on some parts which "should be back in the next week or so", and said I should be getting a shipment tracking number around that time. That will be right in line with their stated lead-time when I ordered. I ordered an Archimedes short action on November 29.
November 21, 2021We don't anticipate any lead time issues. We have planned for this sale.
Done, done, done, done.While you all wait " patiently" maybe you should order a scope, rings, trigger and muzzle brake.
Its called communication.Not anticipating any lead time issue isn't the same thing as guaranteeing no lead time issue.
Would we rather ARC have sold their on-hand inventory and said "LOLNOPE too late, sold out" and shut it down, or continued selling at a yuge and generous discount leading some customers to wait a while?
I actually have already ordered and received 2 ARC magazines, an ARC M-Brace for the new NF ATACR (5x25). I ordered and received 8lbs of Hodgon 4350, 8lbs of Staball 6.5, 500 bullets (Bergers and Hornady) a couple of thousand extra primers, couple of hundred 6mm Creedmoor Lapua brass, a 419 rail mount, some SAC neck bushings, a Redding comp die set, a lock and load case, and want to wait and see if I like the trigger on the rifle. If I don't I'll switch it out. Also received the K&M neck turning tools I needed. I also have already loaded my ladder test, I seated them long so I can changed it when I'm ready.While you all wait " patiently" maybe you should order a scope, rings, trigger and muzzle brake.
Ordered my Archimedes early on Black Friday arrived Tuesday. 12/28/2021I ordered Black Friday in the morning.... still waiting
That'd very interesting can you post some pics. I have a gen2 from 1 year ago and it's the tab recoil but we ordered a new one during sale for my dad but haven't got it yet.As part of the sale, I ordered a Nuke and received it on the 30th. I will eventually buy an Arch at some point, but I wanted a second Nuke as I love my first. I have an early Gen 2 (I had an order in for the orig version when they announced the Gen 2 and was offered a quick delivery of a Gen 1.5 or I could wait for the Gen 2 and I waited on the Gen 2). Anyhow, when I opened up the box for this newest one, I immediately saw that the recoil lug looked slightly different. Unless I am blind and it is connected in a way I can't figure out, ARC has switched over to an integrated roil lug on on the Gen 2 (Bonus!) The Arch and Mausingfield are integrated and it looks just like those. With a grove cut in the receiver to make it look like the lug is separate, but it's not.
My original has the separate recoil lug which includes the tab that provides mounting alignment (it slots into the optics rail). This new one does not include the tab on the top of the lug (optics rail which is a separate part still has the slot for the tab). The page on the ARC site doesn't mention it being integrated. The parts diagram still shows it as separate/non-integrated. I think the assumption always was that this was their budget receiver and could be machined from smaller diameter stock? Maybe as ARC continues to consolidate design/manufacturing and some features on their receivers start to have more in common, they decided to just make them all integrated lug designs? Maybe they upgraded and announced it and I am the last to figure it out? But I didn't see any mention anywhere and a search online shows no mention.
Anyone who has received a new Nuke, please let me know if I got this wrong.
Here are a few quick photos. Note no tab on top of the lug.That'd very interesting can you post some pics. I have a gen2 from 1 year ago and it's the tab recoil but we ordered a new one during sale for my dad but haven't got it yet.
That's very interesting have you called? It kind of seems beat up missing coating on rail ect.

I haven't called as I don't have anything to complain about. I view this as a unexpected upgrade. I think prior, one of the things to knock about the Nucleus was that it didn't have an integrated lug. I think the tab was only there to help align the lug when it was a separate part. But with the rail integrated, the tab has no use. The rail is tightly aligned via groves on the top of the receiver, so it wouldn't need the tab to help hold the rail. I took the rail off to really look at it and even with the five bolts removed, the rail was tight on the receiver. Tight enough I wondered if I was missing a bolt somewhere.That's very interesting have you called? It kind of seems beat up missing coating on rail ect.
I didn't mean to call to complain but just to find out if they did make the change. But when we get our new one I will update to see what one we getI haven't called as I don't have anything to complain about. I view this as a unexpected upgrade.

Regarding the coating/finish. In the photos it looks a bit rough due to the dust from that packing material and reflection of the brown packing material onto the receiver from the packing material. It came wrapped in a wax paper, but with me handling it, etc. it collected some dust. I also lightly oiled it (which is why its collecting dust) before putting it away, so what looks like something missing on the rail is lack of oil.
Sorry. I misunderstood the point you were making. Regardless, it's a nice surprise. ARC seems to make incremental improvements. It's also a change that might help with the pre-fit barrel market as well? While I think the tenon spec was always the same for all three receivers, this change really makes all three ARC receivers identical (probably?) from a barrel interface perspective (i.e. Nucleus while dimensionally the same, had a separate lug).I didn't mean to call to complain but just to find out if they did make the change.

Yes I agree 100% that will be super nice.Sorry. I misunderstood the point you were making. Regardless, it's a nice surprise. ARC seems to make incremental improvements.
