Totally agree. Just didn’t know if I’d missed it somewhere in Ted’s original post or on the ARC website

Closing the bolt is generally smooth but a slight bump may be felt depending on the trigger used.
wow - some people are needy. Its a gun, they will get it to you when its ready - just like everywhere else in the world. Next i will be seeing posts asking for breakfast in bed .... starting to sound very liberal-ish ... time to act like grown ups.
Looks like just about anything.Very nice. What diameter barrel will the Xylo be able to handle?

If you ordered before SHOT last year, and are still waiting, you missed the call and email to pay your invoice months and months agoPeople are rightfully annoyed. Some of us have been waiting on a nucleus order for a year now. Instead of getting these orders out, ARC is releasing a brand new action, a revision of a current action, a brand new chassis, and they just did a hunter action for LRI not too long ago. The fact that they are doing preorders again makes me want to run away as fast as possible.
I'm sure he's referring to the PVA preorders.If you ordered before SHOT last year, and are still waiting, you missed the call and email to pay your invoice months and months ago
I would assume that other signs of a hot load would still be visible on the brass. Ejector mark/swipe, etc...Not knowing how the bolt would feel on hot loads is the only thing holding me back.
not much ejector swipe with a springfield type ejector. (read non) the bolt face is smooth so there is no telltale swipeI would assume that other signs of a hot load would still be visible on the brass. Ejector mark/swipe, etc...

Will there be one at range day to shoot?I decided to hold back on Mausingfield deliveries because the upgrade was pending. You'll be receiving your action really soon and I think you'll be happy with it. That said, you're certainly free to apply any deposit that you may have paid us to any of our three actions. We aim to please, and as I indicated in earlier in this thread, 2019 will be about delivery and improving customer service. I appreciate your business and I thank you for it.

The website says 1400 regular and 1120 intro price for the new action.I'm quoting what the website says. Do you have other information?
It still has the cut in the bolt face to make room for the ejector. On actions with a spring-loaded, piston-style ejector, it certainly isn't the spring pressure of the ejector against the base of the case that leaves the mark, but the recess in the bolt face through which the ejector protrudes that actually leaves the mark.I think it has a mechanical ejector, which for all its benefits, not being able to see pressure like you can with a plunger style is a downside in my opinion. A downside that is outweighed by the benefits.
I try to get all my small primer loads shooting with cci-450s (just make supply chain that much easier). With the 450s in a mechanical ejector action the first sign I always get is sticky lift.
Just checking to see if a straight 1.35” or 1.25” will clear both the chassis and the forward NV mount.

Well that's not really ARC'S fault then is itI'm sure he's referring to the PVA preorders.
In a way it is as ARC was sending actions out of order. People who ordered on the ARC website in the past 3-4 months were getting actions ahead of those who ordered via PVA a year ago. PVA has barrels ready to go for Nucleus actions but is backed up waiting on actions from ARC. Discussion on it in another thread, but it was attributable to ARC fulfilling their own retail orders over the pre-orders from PVA, even though PVA had posted about an agreement and PVA providing order times to ARC so that ARC could ship actions in order. So, ARC is not faultless...Well that's not really ARC'S fault then is it
Yeah it kinda is. You obviously haven't been following the thread about the shit show that is Nucleus barreled action preorders.Well that's not really ARC'S fault then is it
Very nice. What diameter barrel will the Xylo be able to handle?
What is the weight on the XYLO?
Since I posted my question about this very subject, I did a little poking around on the ARC website, and found that in the Barloc area, you can order the Barloc with the "coned", rail-keyed recoil lug.Barloc for Archimedes? Just wondering.
@karagias how will the Archimedes feel during lift and close compared to the nucleus?
Barloc for Archimedes? Just wondering.
Ted are you planning on offering other shipping options for small parts? I tried to order up a bar long bolt knob, but the lowest shipping option was $20?
I’d like to know this as well

The Archimedes uses the same BarLoc as the Nucleus.
That's great!
Is it possible to get the conical recoil lug with my pre-order, for a Shouldered Barloc?
Will barrels from a Nucleus Short Action (running shouldered Barloc) fit the Archimedes Long Action?
I have a PVA Nucleus Barreled Action on order and would like the option to switch to LA. Different action length, no go?
Thanks!
In regards to deliveries of Nucleus or John Hancock actions to PVA, the details of that matter are between ARC and PVA. All I can tell you is that we make the decision we make based on the information that we have when said decisions are made. What PVA discloses to you is up to them but I can promise you that you do not have the information you need to pass judgement on either PVA or ARC as it pertains to this matter. Both PVA and ARC are growing businesses and I leave it at that.
On the more general topic of delivery, American Rifle Company is in a much better position to deliver actions this year that it was twelve months ago. During the past twelve months we have made great strides towards vertical integration. Since Spring of 2018, we have been making actions almost entirely in-house. The only processes that we out-source are Swiss-turning, some heat treatment, DLC, nitriding, and anodizing. Vertical integration offers us the flexibility to constantly refine our products and to respond quickly to customer suggestions or problems that may be discovered. For example, a customer recently complained about the way a Nucleus action felt when closing the bolt. His sensitivity to the issue was higher than we anticipated anybody's would be. Nevertheless, that prompted us to take a closer look at the offending detail and we discovered that an improvement was possible. So we decided to rework about 500 bolt heads and suck up the cost in both money and time, about four weeks. That impacts deliveries.
Putting the infrastructure that we now have in place was an enormous amount of work. Technical problems were encounter and solutions were developed daily to keep moving ahead. We knew it was going to be hard work because coaxing an action out of a hardened bar of steel is not easy, but how often does anyone overestimate the expected difficultly of a large and complex project. The answer, never.
Now, the good news. All of that is behind us now. That's not to say that we won't encounter more problems, but the heavy lifting is done. Machines and processes are in place. Tons of steel is on the floor and carbide is ready to go. We have even implemented a new ERP system that's already making it easier to manage the business. And so I am optimistic about this coming year and finally feel like the company is ready to start shifting more resources to customer service. There are some amazing companies that set the customer service bar really high and we will strive to at least meet that standard. But last year, I thought it was more important to set a new standard for the bolt actions that we all love to shoot. Years from now, you're not going to remember ARC's shitty customer service or the fact that you waited longer than you though you would for your action. But you will remember your Mausingfield, or your Nucleus, or your Archimedes, especially your Archimedes because every time you shoot it, it will remind you of what a great action it is.
I just want to make you happy by making great guns. That takes time and effort, but we're getting there.
