Glad to see the fix should be a quick thing. Im waiting on mine to ship and i assume it's held up from this delay. That said i can't wait and as soon as it gets here it's going straight to mcmillan for them to do their thing for itSince it came up, we're increasing clearance only where necessary. We are not machining the entire circumference of the aft end of the bolt.
...but Ted doesn't have a cocaine habit!ARC is becoming the Delorian of actions.
Thank for the vote of confidence. It really is an easy fix. If you we're to put your action in a stock and cycle the bolt quickly, I bet you'd find that it would close and you might not feel the interactions between the cocking piece and the top sear of the trigger and between the bolt shroud locking pin and the receiver....but Ted doesn't have a cocaine habit!
Anyhow, in regard to picking nits on this issue, I can say that in my case, I cannot close my action with the (Calvin Elite) trigger installed. Granted, I have only attempted to close it while holding the action in one hand (rather than having it installed in a stock, etc...), and attempting to close the bolt with the other. As I described it to the folks at ARC when I spoke to them, I'm not "white gloving" the action (treating it excessively gently), but neither am I beating the hell out of it. So, at least for me, the issue is more serious than a "bump on close" kind of thing.
That said, I am confident that ARC will get me taken care of.
Should we have already received the shipment labels? I got the email, didnt get any labels yet
We'll probably begin sending them tomorrow but that's Justin's call.

The example machine work looks great, frankly, I wouldn't mind if you took it all the way down to the 0.700" diameter step to avoid contact with the sear. Did you change nitride finishing vendors, the finish on the parts above looks quite a bit different than what I've got on hand, are the receiver and bolt body both salt bath FNC QPQ?Thanks for this post. That's helpful and it's about what I am expecting. Please use our sales email to contact us and we will send a shipping label immediately so that we can fix this.

Are any of the new Mausingfields shipping or is it just the other two actions?

Not sure if I should check the box to remove cocking on close. What are y'all choosing?
I haven't tried the M5, but I got the new M7a. I haven't barreled it yet, but so far it looks really nice. Extremely smooth operation. Excited to shoot it, but it will probably be a few more weeks before I get to do that.I wish they would have left the Mausingfield alone. I love my m5

I can see why you would say that. I have four M5s and it's my favorite action. I just took a good look at the M7 though and that thing is definitely innovative. I don't think I've seen anything like half of the features on there. It looks like a better setup for a hunting rifle than the original M5. I would guess that if you're interested in another M5, you can find one.
That is absolutely true. Mine is a 300 Norma and it runs like butter. Bolt lift is as good as my impact and it closes smoother than the impact it feels like it closes itself. I hated to see the Mausingfield loose it’s keyed rail, at least they left the recoil lug alone. Maybe the new version is better but I like everything about the m5The M5 is one of the best custom actions built in recent times IMO. I love mine, and have a few other custom actions to compare it to.
It's certainly underrated, but I think part of the problem is people don't pair it with the proper trigger (trigger timing) to see it's full potential. When people say they don't like it because it has a "heavy bolt lift" I automatically know they didn't pair the trigger properly. Mines every bit as light as an Impact/LP Fuzion.
Never had my hands on any other ARC actions. Glad the trigger thing is being sorted out for everyone.

I think you are right. But it seems to be a very bumpy roll out. I hope they get things worked out. ARC and PVA seem to be having problemsHonestly to me it looks like the Archimedes is taking the Mausingfields spot as the flagship tactical action while the Mausingfield is being moved over to the high end hunting market with the hinged floor plate compatibility and optional pic rail.

I've got both side by side and they feel almost the same to be honest. But the closing on Archimedes feels way lighter and smoother.How does the archimedes feel compares to the nucleus action? Super light bolt lift?
I'm curious if there will lighter firing pin springs available. The included 30 pound spring is probably foolproof, and covers everything. However I'd like to experiment to see how light it can go with my setup and still be reliable. The heavy bolt lift after firing has been what most folks complain about after trying mine.
Question for verification about the Archimedes: Compared to the Nucleus, I noticed that it doesn't have the removable recoil lugs; one flat for a standard barrel, one beveled for using the BARLOC system. Does this mean that the Archimedes is not compatible with Nucleus barrels cut with a shoulder for the BARLOC w/o nut?
I understand that a standard Savage Pre-fit will still work with the traditional BARLOC w/nut or a Savage style barrel nut.
You just need to select "Washer" when ordering the Barloc. The washer is the bevel the Barloc colar tightens against on the receiver side. The Nucleus lug has the bevel machined into it.
Can you guys explain trigger timing, or what needs to be done to "time" it? I am fairly new to this game, I have an M5 and a Nucleus, the Nuc seems to run smoother.The M5 is one of the best custom actions built in recent times IMO. I love mine, and have a few other custom actions to compare it to.
