Coup De Grâce, New Action from American Rifle Company, $899 WOW!

[notacos4u]

My CDG is mounted in an MDT ACC. Also running AW mags and it is a royal pain to get them to seat. Have to slam them in to get them to seat but once seated it runs flawlessly. Super stiff to push the mag release to get them to drop out as well. I’ll have to message MDT about a different latch as well.

I contacted them about my HNT26 and they sent me new latches and it works perfectly now

I remember when I was trying the ACC and they did actually send me a new latch…

No issues across any of my Elites with the adjustable mag latch.

I took a file to my mag catch. actually I had my gunsmith show me. it was so simple I felt stupid for asking for assistance but it was my first time on such a project so I wanted experienced hands.
if it's too tight, file a tiny Lil bit more until it feels perfect, then stop.

I'm having a great time with my SA CDG as .308 PRS rig. Is there any hope for a Medium Action CDG, maybe even in LW pattern?

I sent them a product suggestion email for the Medium Action CDG....no response but I didn't really expect one. I just wanted to put it on their radar. Maybe you/others who are interested should send them emails as well. I think most businesses keep some sort of tally for product suggestions.

Semi retarded question here.
Can you buy a savage small shank barreled nut prefit and then simply have a smith do the cone breech afterward ? since you control the headspace via the barrel nut, it should work ?

You would need to have the chamber cut a little deeper to allow for the coned breach. In a large enough caliber it will work without the coned breach.

More than a little, less than a lot. Wasn’t too awful to do.

 

[TimResin]

are you using fixed or pivoting?

Has anyone tried to exchange a bolt head with ARC? Cause I have a brand new CDG magnum bolt head that I received when I purchase my long action and I don't need two of them.

Yes. The bolt head exchange is pretty straightforward if you are at least mildly mechanically inclined. Ted’s bolt disassembly and assembly vid is very helpful.

I bought mine with a Lapua bolt head and then changed my mind and bought the magnum head to make a 7PRC. The swap was not hard.

I think he is wanting to exchange an unused one with the company for a diffesrent one. Sounds like he has 2 of the same bolt head.

Ah yes, I misread that.

Then his answer is, give them a call. That’s the best way to find out.

I did reach out to them and we are working it out. Thank you for the replies.
