What kind of support will there be for legacy M5 receivers? What about rails and small parts that are obsolete for the M7?
Do I need to do and end-of-life buy for spare parts for an M5?

So what advantage is there to having the port by your face?Because you’re not envisioning me shooting left handed

Archimedes is the next proiority, and that's going well, followed by the Xylo chassis.
highpower with a JAE? and this is the upgrade?@karagias I'm patiently waiting for my XYLO. I shoot NRA highpower and I love my JAE-700 chassis, but it isn't as good as it could be because I can't adjust it quickly between stages. I believe that, as you have described it, the XYLO will solve that problem.
If you need some pre-release feedback from an east coast highpower shooter let me know, I'd love to cut my wait time shorter, I mean help out the team!!!
Keep up the great work and thanks for all the updates recently.

Ross

curious why you dont go Tubb T2k/ATR or an Elisio?
The action with rail mounted on top never had clean lines. There's nothing clean about a Pic rail. Granted, the previous rail didn't have the clamp bosses that the new one does, but those disappear under the rings. When you see it in real life, it will look well proportioned. I intentionally drew attention to it with the renderings.Damn that clamp on rail just murders the clean lines of the action.
thats the question i have with every new action out there....What kind of support will there be for legacy M5 receivers? What about rails and small parts that are obsolete for the M7?
Do I need to do and end-of-life buy for spare parts for an M5?
Holy mission creep, what the feck?
As someone that put money down on the Archimedes, I feel the need to speak up.
This new setup, the threads in the aluminum rail will fail and using the fasteners as quasi shear lugs will contribute to the problem. Is there a Heli-Coil in there?
With the integral recoil lug do you also basically start with enough material to make an action with integrated Pic rail?
I'd rather have an integrated Pic rail or something fully constrained like the original Mausingfield rail interface. If you were to use that mating taper design in two pads on each side of the ejection port you could still make it work with rings or a rail.

I don't want the clamp on rail for my two Archimedes on order. I am happy with the Nucleus style rail on my two Nuclei.
I'm not seeing where the Archimedes rail design has changed. All the rail conversations and images on the previous pages are for the Mausingfield.
Any reason you wouldn't want direct mount baked into the action? Having the ability to direct mount or run picatinny rail sound amazing. You can direct mount to eliminate a variable out of the setup if your chasing bench levels of accuracy or if you have limited budget you can use the elevated picatinny to give more budget friendly scopes more usable adjustment range. For prs or elr I can see the picatinny being useful too.(obviously the same can be done with rings but will most likely cost more) I can see this expanding the actions versatility without any real compromise. I see as a win for the budget oriented shooters, the money's no object shooter, bench rest, prs, elr or huntingYes, pls keep the Archimedes with the rail and not the dovetail. Although, there was no mention of that for the Archimedes, just the Mausingfield.
I panicked, thanks for pointing this out.I'm not seeing where the Archimedes rail design has changed. All the rail conversations and images on the previous pages are for the Mausingfield.
Do we have a rough estimate of when they are going to start shipping the first batch?Just for clarity the Archimedes is going to have a keyed rail similar to the original Mausingfield.

Im hoping not. I ordered my lefty on day 1 of preorder. Hopefully they had a run of both goingSo... September for the first left handed ones?

Congratulations on the Archimedes!American Rifle Company Archimedes Action, Xylo Chassis, and major Mausingfield revision.
American Rifle Company proudly introduces the Archimedes Bolt Action, the Xylo Chassis, and a major upgrade to the Mausingfield.
The Archimedes embodies the most significant advancement in the design of bolt actions since they were first invented in 19th century. It features a novel pivoting bolt handle that gives you the mechanical advantage to extract even the most stubbornly stuck cases. Your ability to extract cartridges without the use of tools is now limited only by the strength of the case rim. And since bolt rotation is no longer necessary for case extraction, the rotary motion is entirely dedicated to cocking, making cycling the bolt as easy as it gets. We have also captured lessons learned from our experience with the both the Mausingfield and Nucleus actions thus leaving the Archimedes with a peer.
Our new Xylo chassis captures the input and suggestions provided to us by some of the top shooters from all over the country. Keith Sanderson deserves special recognition and thanks for his assistance with the design of the chassis. Highlights include rapid length-of-pull adjustment for transitioning between the prone and any other position and a grip that truly works with your hand to get your finger back on the trigger as consistently as possible. The grip is also designed so that you can place your thumb directly behind or even on top of the receiver tang giving your hand that desirable pivot point for cycling the bolt. We designed the chassis to feel like a target stock and not like an AR-15.
Lastly, our beloved Mausingfield has undergone a major upgrade. Enhancements include an extractor-side locking-lug guide rail that cooperates beautifully with its Mauser extractor to effectively resist bolt binding, a redesigned bolt stop that matches those of the Nucleus and the Archimedes for durability, and a redesigned bayonet style bolt shroud enabling you to easily remove the striker assembly without the use of tools. But perhaps best of all is the reduction of bolt rotation from 90 to 83 degrees that increases the clearance between the scope and your thumb when cycling the bolt. Lastly, the ejection port has been enlarged for better top-loading access through a mag well that can now accommodate AI CS mags as well as BDL style bottom metal, and yes, it can handle long Wyatt mag boxes.
Please visit our website to learn more about our new products and if you’re in Vegas for the Shot Show, come visit us at booth number 20459.
American Rifle Company
The pics below are renderings. The real thing will be at Shot Show, booth 20459. I'll try and make a video or two before then.
Finally, we could not have done any of this without the support our beloved customers. Your business means the world to us and it’s what makes the development of new products possible. Thanks to all of you who have supported us over the years. 2019 will be the year that American Rifle Company commits itself to improving the customer experience and to reducing the wait times of products. So, on behalf of everyone at American Rifle Company, thanks again for your business and for enabling us to do what we love to do, make guns.
Sincerely,
Ted

Any updates on Archimedes Pre-Orders? Soon?
I'm still waiting for my Nucleus!
I think we'll see them before October 2020 easily
When I ordered the action, all I cared was getting the action so I could put it together for the GAP Grind in October. I'm truly hoping that still happens
Every month they push it another month back they were suppose to be out "May" with pre-orders.
I was, my bud was waiting a year & 3 months for his, and was hoping they were more prepared and learned from theI think we all walked into this knowing May wasn't happening, at least if you had been a around for the nuclei.
They're too busy doing R&D on a new action to make theseI was, my bud was waiting a year & 3 months for his, and was hoping they were more prepared and learned from the
