Assembling cdg long action in Manners LRH stock with bdl bottom metal with extended Wyatt box magazine.

Stock needed to be inlet to clear the trigger hanger. Not a big deal.

A bigger deal is the Wyatt box hits the trigger hanger. Only solution seems to be to inlet the box at the bottom to clear the hanger.

Anyone experience this?

I called American Rifle. Super helpful but I was told BDL bottom metal won't work with the the long action.

Great. Now I need new bottom metal.

What has everyone run successfully? I prefer 3 to 5 round magazines. AICS CIP American Rifle says.

Thanks for the help.

I was looking at post #6,330 and his action had the laser foam and all. Mine was in a large box with butchers paper wrapped around it lol.

I am building 2 rifles. I finally have the stocks and actions. HNT26 in short and long action. I am finding issues with mags. The mag latch isn’t latching. On the long action I purchased their new polymer mags and those appear to be rubbbing as well. I called MDT and they are sending different length mag latches, but has anyone else experienced this?

I have my short action and needed either the -2 or -2.5mm latch to get AICS mags to latch, like you they sent out the range of latches so I could pick the one that fits best. Once I did that they work perfectly.

This post also reminded me that I need to swap mag latches again as I got a second HNT and switched the new one with the modified one on my CDG.

My mags latch just fine but I am having feeding issues with my 7prc in the MDT ACC LA chassis. I am using the 3.850 mdt mags as that is what fits the chassis. My rounds sometimes kick out the back of the magazine.

Few posts up covered this.

Seems as though the rounds dont clear the bottom of the action when loaded to mag length.

He’d have to be loading them hella long for them to be loaded mag length.

Well optimally you want to make sure that only the lip gets moved, but yes, that’s the general idea. There is a feed lip tool on the market somewhere.

Okay, I guess now there a number of companies offering feed lip adjustment tools. Here’s a simple one that works.

I am building a 28 nosler using a manners ph stock with Hawkins m5 bottom metal and a MDT 300wm aics magazine. I actually tried a few different mags, but they all had the same problem. Like yours, the mag didn't latch. I realized the top of the magazine was hitting the bolt and not allowing the magazine to seat high enough to latch or feed. The bullet would just jam into the feed ramp. I took a dremmel and removed material from the top of the magazine until it would seat and the bolt no longer dragged on the top of the magazine. It now feeds great. Unfortunately I now have dedicated magazines instead of being able to use any magazine I have.

So how many orders deep are we on the lightweight? I jumped on as soon as I got the email and ordered lol short action mag bolt face. 7 saum or 25 prc in my future I think!

It looks like Harvey Dent.

I'm glad someone is willing to at least try to break the mold. But I'd take the 6-8oz.

ETA: The LA Origin comes in at 1.9lbs (31oz), the OG LA CDG comes in at 2.4lbs (38.4oz) , the Lighweight LA CDG 1.875lbs (30oz).

Explains my surprise when I picked up my action. That thing is Thicc, and feels like a Lapua sized action.

Interesting but it seems like a niche market item to me, maybe there is more demand in the lightweight hunting market than I'm aware of.

A rimfire action would have been more interesting to me at this point in time.

CDG, PVA osprey barrel 1:7, vision chassis, Schmidt, 6–36x56…

Unlike all of the other chassis the vision is the only one that did not require modification for my length of pull. Literally the most adjustable out of the box and required no additional purchases to get it to fit. (Compared to an MPA BA competition, centurion, MDT ACC premier, and MDT ACC elite… all of which requires significant modification to get to the same place as what comes out of a box with a vision.)

Would the XLR Element 4.0 magnesium chassis need modification for the ARC Coup De Grace action? Also, how does the CDG action compare to other companies?

For all of you who have the CDG action, how has it been and how does it compare to other actions from other companies? Is it worth the money to go with an aftermarket action or with a Tikka T3x action for my rifle build?

The other option for a light weight action without going to titanium is the Defiance Classic, also 30 ounces in long action but with a full length rail.

Yes, but.

Expect to do some modification to most traditional stocks for the trigger hanger. Not a big deal, but modifications are needed.

If you want to run the CDG action in a chassis with an adjustable magazine catch release or different length catch releases available, yes. If you want bdl, not yet. If you want Hawkins Hunter bottom metal, nope. The adjustable trigger hanger is wonderful but complicates the choice of bottom metal in a traditional stock.

All this will get sorted out, but we're not there yet in my view.

Or maybe this is not the droid that you’re looking for.
