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.
