AICS magsDoes anyone know if any of the Mausingfield actions can be fed from double-stack AW/AX mags in APA bottom metal?
It's the action cut that matters. Width wise. Not the bottom metal

AICS magsDoes anyone know if any of the Mausingfield actions can be fed from double-stack AW/AX mags in APA bottom metal?
Mausingfield actions cannot be fed from AW mags. I have never felt comfortable with the AW mags for two reasons. The necessary cut leaves only a sliver of steel between the ejection port and the mag well. And two, feeding can be more problematic than it would otherwise be when using a center-feed mag. That might not be a huge issue for the single user but it can be for the guy making many rifles or actions. As reliability decrease, customer service requirements increase. AW mags were designed for AW rifles which did not have cylindrical receivers.Does anyone know if any of the Mausingfield actions can be fed from double-stack AW/AX mags in APA bottom metal?
Hey thanks for the detailed reply, Ted. One last question; How long is the forearm section of this new chassis of yours?Mausingfield actions cannot be fed from AW mags.

You ever figure out what the issue was?Got my action back post fix and now it "clicks" when I turn the bolt down. Doesn't seem to inhibit function. Anyone have this happen to them?

(6 m-lok slots @ 1.26" each, 5 spaces between each slot @ 0.315" each, roughly two slots-worth of space between the slot closest to the trigger and the magwell, and then about an inch between the slot furthers from the trigger and the front of the Xylo)

Excellent reply and true in every regard so far as I can tell. Nice job and thank you.My guess is the 35 cocking piece is causing cock on open on an already cocked bolt. In other words, the striker is dropping onto the trigger sear as the bolt closes. I think end users placed so much importance on "bump free" closure that ARC is using and extra short cocking piece to create easy closing. You will never notice cocking the fired action so it makes sense. Based on my own experience, hand fitting a 55 cocking piece is the best solution. As far as ARC is concerned, they have no control over the triggers used so they're making an educated guess to which cocking piece will work best for the widest sample and shipping out the action. In comparison, my TL3 had .035" of cock on close with a TT Diamond and I had to cut the cocking piece back to get zero cock on close.
The stock should have included the screws, but since yours are missing you’ll have to find some 1/4-28 shcs and fit them up. It’s not hard to do on your own.Just picked up my Archimedes Magnum Long Action. I'll be putting it into a Manner's stock with CIP mini chassis. Neither the action or the stock came with action screws, what do you folks recommend for action screws?

not uncommon to have to trim action screws. everyhting has different tang thicknesses or larger bolts for example both cause it.Also, the stock screws should be a standard length. They should not need to be cut but if you do make sure to put a nut on it before cutting the bolt so you can make sure the threads are in spec. Cut the bolt, grind the end smooth then turn the nut off. That should put the threads back in spec and remove any burrs that might damage the action.

The new bushing and Arm/Lever came in the mail. It feels like the lever engages the receiver sooner just in the hand. ARC was quick to get the parts out and they were easy to swap.
Assume the mods have been done. Only a few got out that had to be modified, the rest were held until the modifications were done.Got my lefty long action magnum in today.
How do I determine in it has had the modifications done to it? Or should I just assume it has?
Perfect.Assume the mods have been done. Only a few got out that had to be modified, the rest were held until the modifications were done.
I would ask them. I know a few of us sent in triggers so that they could be timed by ARC when the bolt issue first popped up. I sent in a BixnAndy Tacsport. So they probably already know what cocking piece you will need.Perfect.
If I go with a BixnAndy tacsport pro, will I need to swap out the cocking piece. Or should I just send both back to be timed.
I too sent mine in with a TT Diamond, and i think the the cocking piece was changed from 780/55? to 780/45. I have no idea what those numbers mean
BnA Tacsport and Tacsport Pro will need an 035 cocking piece AND a low top sear (https://www.bulletcentral.com/product/bixn-andy-tacsport-top-sear/). At least both of mine did. It's difficult to lift the bolt with a standard/medium sear.
What seems to be the right cocking piece for the TriggerTech Diamond?
Never seen it, but it's a badass little detail if nothing elseView attachment 7180722
Does anyone know the reason behind the washboard looking rear tang? Is that feature on SA and LA?
Hmm. Mine is 480/035. It does run really smoothly with no barrel on it...55 and file/ceramic stone.

So I've never had this experience before and it doesn't impact the performance of the action for but if you have too short of a piece is it possible to end up with a tiny bit of negative cock on close?
